I have chronic kidney disease. Should I opt for Ayurvedic medicine?

Asked by Male, 65 ยท 3 months ago

If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is important not to start Ayurvedic or herbal medicines without medical supervision, as some herbal preparations may contain heavy metals or ingredients that can further harm the kidneys. CKD requires careful management under a nephrologist's guidance, focusing on controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and protein levels, along with diet and prescribed medications. While some Ayurvedic formulations claim to support kidney function, scientific evidence for their safety and effectiveness is limited. It's best to discuss any alternative or complementary therapy with your kidney specialist before use, to avoid possible drug interactions or worsening of kidney function.
