Kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda - Ayurvedic Kidney Care

Article:

Kidneys are medium-sized organs, as big as a fist and are located in the abdominal cavity below the ribs. We have two kidneys that sit opposite to each other. They perform a number of functions. Like many other organs in the body, kidneys make the excretory system asked help in the elimination of waste and excess water from the body. 

Kidneys have some very important functions. Some of the functions are listed below.

·         They help in the acid-base regulation

·         Regulation of osmolarity

·         Filtration of toxins and excess water

·         Production of urine

·         Formation of certain hormones

·         They help in the creation of red platelets

·         Maintain bone density

·         Regulation of blood pressure

 Our blood is made of several components like red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, water, salts, sugar, vitamins, and minerals. If any of these components of blood are not present in adequate amount then the chemical composition of the blood changes which leads to other problems. Blood runs through the whole body and every organ functions because of it, therefore, if it is not getting the appropriate amount of oxygen, water or minerals, it can cause a problem. Kidneys need to eliminate all these components if found in excess. Sometimes that becomes impossible due to a number of reasons. However, when one kidney loses its function the other one can compensate for the loss. We only need one kidney to function but sometimes it can lose its efficiency too. The available treatments then remain are kidney transplant and dialysis or kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda.

Kidney transplant is done when the donor shares the same blood type. There are other factors that are important to match for one to be a donor, one check for the blood type, the tissue type, and cross match. When all three factors are affirmative, we can generally go ahead with the transplant. However, it is very important for the patient and the family to know that transplant is not a cure and there is no guarantee that the donated kidney will work properly. There are many risks associated with transplantation. The receiver may reflect the donors the kidney, which may lead to organ failure. The antibodies might attack the healthy kidney or it might get infected. Therefore dialysis and kidney transplant are not hundred percent effective. Additionally, they cost a lot, it is difficult to find a donor and they are painful treatments.  Kidney transplant is not only an expensive procedure but also causes various complications in the body. It is not easily available either because finding a kidney donor is difficult. Dialysis is another form of purification of blood which the kidneys cannot perform naturally. Therefore, the blood is artificially cleaned and passed into the blood vessels into the body. Both these treatments come with side effects and are extremely painful. Ayurvedic medicines are an effective cure for these expensive treatments. Karma Ayurveda offers kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda.

 Ayurveda is a traditional method of treatment. The mention of Ayurveda is found in the Atharva Veda and many such scriptures. This science was lost due to the advent of allopath but many people are trying to revive this centuries-old science to help patients recover. Ayurveda takes into account the balance in the bodily systems and uses herbs for treatment. Another aspect of it is yogic breathing, also called yoga, which has become popular nowadays. Ayurveda was basically derived from the Indian subcontinent and many Greek scriptures mention the use of this Orient healing.  This is an effective form of treatment and so is kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda that reverses the damages done to the kidneys.
