Cysts that grow inner or outer membrane of kidneys because of genetic disorders is known as polycystic kidney disease. This type of kidney problem comes as an inheritance and is diagnosable in prenatal or early stages of life. Generalized statements in the allopathic sector state that there is no cure for PKD but Ayurveda contradicts the statement by providing an herbal and natural treatment for the same. Ayurvedic medicines for polycystic kidney disease recommend necessary dietary and lifestyle changes depending on the type of PKD.
What are the types of Polycystic kidney diseases?
According to medical books, two types of polycystic kidney diseases generally affects the kidneys of an individual. First Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and the second one is autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.
- Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD):
Autosomal Dominant Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a disease inherited from one generation to another. It has been evident between the age groups from 30-40 though it can be diagnosed at childhood also. Let us first talk about the Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disorder (ADPKD). It is also called as the adult PKD, ADPKD is the most common disorder among the PKD patient. It accounts for around 90% of PKD patients. The chances grow by 50% if you have had the family history of such a disease. The symptoms can be observed at childhood but mostly are common between the ages of 30 to 40 years. If an individual is following the guidelines provided by the treatment provider of Ayurvedic medicines for polycystic kidney disease then he may have the chance to dissolve the cysts without any surgery.
- Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD):
If we talk about the ARPKD or Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, this is a disease that is caused when both the parents transfer the mutated genes; maybe this is why this disorder is rare.
Infantile or Autosomal Recessive Kidney Disorder (ARPKD) is a disease inherited from both the parents. It can be diagnosed even in the womb. A fetus that is affected by ARPKD may have fluid-filled like cysts which can make the kidneys look larger than the normal size. The fetus that survives the birth stage is likely to survive adulthood with regular treatments.
How Ayurvedic medicines for polycystic kidney disease work?
According to the Ayurvedic PKD treatment, the treatment id inclusive of natural herbs, shrubs, fruits & vegetables. Its emphasis is on removing the root causes of many diseases. Green tea has been a proven remedy to cure the problem of PKD since ancient times. Following are the benefits of green tea:
- Green tea is a great source of anti-oxidants that promotes toxin removal from the body.
- Green tea is also a great source of anti-inflammatory properties. It helps the kidneys from inflammation.
- Green tea regulates blood pressure
- Green tea reduces the risk of type2 diabetes
- Green tea promotes brain health
Green tea extracts exert a host of so-called “epigenetic” effects, which means that they promote the expression of beneficial genes and suppress many of those with deleterious effects. Highly-purified, EGCG-rich green tea extracts produce rapid increases in plasma antioxidant activity in humans. That may offer an advantage over simply drinking green tea because the extract of EGCG is much more readily absorbed in dry powder form than it is from green tea beverages. So, because of these exemplary benefits, green tea has been a part of Ayurvedic medicine for polycystic kidney diseases for centuries now. But a diseased can get benefit from the consumption of green tea only when he will follow the following dietary restrictions:
- Fried foods like samosa, kachori, mathari, puri, parantha, patties, etc.
- Fruits like mango, bananas, grapes, sapodilla, custard apple, litchi, orange, mausambi.
- Vegetables like zimikand, sweet potato, custard apple, ladyfinger, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables.
- Processed foods and packaged foods like cheese, pickles, mayonnaise, butter, and sauces.
- Sweetened foods, sugar, Jaggery, jam, jellies, and glucose.
- Dry fruits and nuts.
- Whole milk, ice cream, curd, ghee, dalda.
- Refined cereals like all-purpose flour, pasta, and white bread.
- Bakery products like cakes, pastries, and cookies.
So, this was all about the Ayurvedic medicines for polycystic kidney diseases. We would also like to give a disclaimer about the recommendations above that please consult your doctors before applying or consuming anything. This information is a hypothetical view that we have observed in thousands of kidney patients around the globe. Every kidney patient shares a different case history and the modifications are done accordingly.
