Kidney Disorders - How Ayurveda Can Be Your Rescuer?

Kidney failure and other Kidney problems are the leading causes of death nowadays. Common problems that lead to Kidney failure include chronic blood pressure and chronic uncontrolled diabetes. However, there are a number of Ayurvedic medications which help solve Kidney failure and other Kidney problems including;

1. Punarnava
Punarnava is commonly called hogweed as well but the medical name for it is Boerhavia diffusa. It is extremely helpful in preventing micturition, a disorder which is characterized by unexplained fainting after urinating. However, that is not the only symptoms hogweed helps with as it also removes excess water from the body due to kidney failure.

2. Varun
Varun is commonly known as caper and is medically known as Crataeva nurvala. The diseases which Varun is best at dealing with are urinary tract infections and renal stones. Varun also helps in stopping the swelling and extra fluid accumulation after kidney failure.

3. Gokshura
Gokshura is known as tribulus terrestris and is a herbal tonic for the genito-urinary system. Gokshura is one of the best ways to avoid dialysis. This is because it stops infections from occurring and also clears obstructions in the urinary tract. It is also very good at regenerating the kidney cells.

4. Raktachandan
Rakt Chandan is known as P.santalinus or red sandalwood and is another excellent remedy for kidney problems. It acts as both a diuretic and an anti-infectant.

5. Palaash
Palaash, medically, is known as Butea monosperma. It is a type of urinary alkalizer and it also stops micturition. A urinary alkaliser is a medication which allows the urine to pass more easily. This is yet another great remedy for kidney failure.

6. Kaasni
Kaasni is commonly known as chicory but its medical name is cichorium intybus. Kaasni gives strength to the kidneys and is also a very good alkalizer. However, its most valuable property is the fact that it helps in nephritis and nephrotic syndrome (disorder of the kidneys characterized by protein loss).
