Kidney disease is a condition that occurs when the kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood properly.

Ayurvedic Approach

According to  Ayurveda  Kidney Failure is a disease of Mutravaha Srotas. The dosha (cause) involved in the disease is Kapha and Vata which is responsible for the structural degeneration of the kidney. In Ayurveda, the treatment of disease damage in the tissue can be treated and repaired by Rasayan therapy. Because the Rasayan is mainly used for the improvement of tissue and also can increase the resistance in tissues. In Ayurveda, the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha these three govern the function of body, mind, and Spirit. An imbalance in all three can create an influence over the health also including the urinary system. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to support kidney health, focus and balance all the doshas of the body and promote the well-being of the body.
