Ayurveda is the solution

According to doctors, kidney damage cannot be reversed and cured, but Ayurveda doesn't agree with the statement. Ayurvedic medicines can help you to recover from kidney damage, but that falls on one major condition that is your diet. Yes, your diet plays a crucial role that determines how soon you'll recover or for how long you'll stay healthy. With a sensible diet plan and ongoing ayurvedic treatment, one can bring his/ her doshas ( Kapha, Vitta, Pitta) back in a stable position. The chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda is a precise blend of three major ingredients that are-

• The Science of life
• The natural herbs
• The art of natural healing

In the broadest sense, the ayurvedic medicines detect and treat the primary drivers of the problems instead of just curing the symptoms.

Myths about Ayurveda

• People often misinterpret ayurvedic medication as witchcraft that heals the body quickly. But, in reality, it's not a one night show; if you wish for a natural and healthy recovery, then you are required to have patience and trust the treatment. Also, we have mentioned the severity of a good diet during the treatment. A good diet fuels the effect of natural herbs inside your body and fosters quick recovery.
• People also believe that Ayurveda is only used for restoring the damage naturally. But, the natural herbs are undeniably good as a stress buster and can also be used to cure mental disorders such as as- anxiety, depression, and overthinking.
• Ayurveda uses natural herbs that are hard to find, and that's an apparent myth. Ayurveda also uses some herbs that you may also find in nearby stores or in your kitchen. Ayurvedic treatment also uses- Raw honey, milk, turmeric, cloves, cardamom: black pepper, and red bell pepper.
