What is kidney failure?

Kidney failure refers to the condition of the kidneys in which they become diseased. When the kidneys fail a large volume of waste starts to accumulate in the blood that has to flow throughout the body. So, in one word we can say that it is a life-threatening condition. The possible treatments for kidney failure include dialysis and transplant. While there is another approach to curing kidney failure and that is an ayurvedic medicine for kidney failure. This treatment is different in terms of the methodologies used in the treatment and involves no surgery.

Kidney failure scourge individuals with mental, physical, emotional, and financial conditions because dialysis and transplant involve a hell lot of money and are painful too. So, we suggest our patients try ayurvedic treatment at least once before losing hope. It consists of only herbal medicines made from the rare herbs and spices with few spices. Also, it involves making changes in lifestyle and dietary habits.

Ayurveda has a viewpoint that is different from allopathy. Ayurveda has it, blockage in the energy of the channels is the reason why a person becomes sick and attracts disorders. Given you are able to channelize your energy to an extent, you will hardly fall sick. Thus, ayurvedic remedies focus on bringing energy to its originality.

Moreover, renal diseases are the result of a blockage in the channels called mutravaha srotas. These channels are held responsible for passing urine in and out of the kidneys. When urine is not passed out, toxins stay in the blood and the body becomes vulnerable to more such conditions. The blockage in the incoming and the outgoing channels result in swelling and shrinkage of the kidneys. And the aim of kidney failure ayurvedic medicine is to treat this obstruction.

What are the causes of kidney failure?

Kidney failure is caused by conditions that result in progressive loss of kidney function over time. Many medical and nonmedical conditions interfere with the working of the kidneys and they may include:

  • Diabetes: Kidney failure is linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes
  • Hypertension: High blood pressure means the flow of the blood against the wall of the bloodstream is too high that may possibly damage the vessels of the kidneys.
  • Obstructed urine flow: Urine may not be eliminated properly.
  • Kidney disease: PKD, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis cause kidney failure if not treated on time.
  • Kidney artery stenosis: Narrowing of the arteries linked to the kidneys.
  • Exposure to toxins: Exposure to lead, solvents, and other environmental chemicals can lead to kidney failure.
  • Systemic lupus: Autoimmune disease that inflames the glomeruli.
  • Medications: Consuming too many over the counter painkillers without consultation from the doctor.
  • Physical damage: Injury to the kidneys also leads to internal bleeding.

Some risk factors may lead to kidney failure:
