The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 10% of the population is affected by chronic kidney disease. About 5 million Germans have kidney weakness, but very few people know about it. High blood pressure is a serious indication of chronic kidney disease. But fatigue, itchy skin, cardiac arrhythmias, water retention in the legs, and even nausea and vomiting are also symptoms of diseased kidneys.
Conventional medicine uses a mixture of drugs to treat chronic kidney weakness. Antihypertensives, immunosuppressants, lipid-lowering agents and diuretics are used. In this way, doctors only treat the symptoms of the disease, but not its cause. If those affected do not want to expose themselves to this cocktail of drugs of conventional medicine for their complaints, then they can use natural remedies such as Ayurveda to strengthen the kidneys. We give you 9 tips on how Ayurveda can be used for kidney weakness and what you can do to cleanse your kidneys with Ayurveda retreats.
The causes of kidney weakness from an Ayurvedic point of view
While conventional medicine sees chronic kidney weakness as an inexorable reduction in the filtration capacity of the kidneys, Ayurveda recognizes kidney disease as damage to a much larger structure in your organism, from which the urine excretion channels suffer. If your three doshas become imbalanced, in the worst-case renal insufficiency will result from it, because this imbalance can lead to the painless inflammation of your kidneys. These inflammatory processes arise from a disturbance of your Vata and Pitta energy. Sometimes Kapha is also involved.
For example, a Vata disturbance leads to puffiness under your eyes, low urine output, and in the long run destroys the function of your kidneys. The dosha Pitta is in your blood. If you have a Pitta disorder, this will 3result in a reduction of your kidney filtration rate. Important nutrients, such as proteins, are then excreted excessively by your kidneys, resulting in a disturbance in your electrolyte balance. When Kapha is involved in your kidney weakness, your kidney cells become clogged, blocking the movement of Vata energy. Both the function and the structure of your kidneys are destroyed.
Ayurveda to strengthen the kidneys: These measures help with kidney weakness
While conventional medicine relies on a mixture of different medications for treatment, Ayurveda focuses on holistic approaches to kidney weakness and calls on all the body’s resources to treat the disease. Harmonizing the imbalanced doshas is central to the therapy of Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda retreats deeply cleanse your body and eliminate metabolic waste products so that Vata, Pitta and Kapha can find their balance again. Regenerating herbal preparations support your body in its revitalization.
In a study conducted at Patel Ayurveda Hospital in Nadiad, 100 subjects received daily Ayurvedic cleansing treatments supplemented by herbal intake for a month in 2011. Doctors Manish V. Patel, S. N. Gupta and Nimesh G. Patel achieved a reduction in blood and protein in the urine and a reduction in the symptoms of kidney weakness through this Ayurvedic therapy.
In addition to Ayurvedic cleansing therapies, dietary changes and lifestyle changes are also part of Ayurveda for kidney strengthening. Integrating mediation and yoga into your daily routine also helps reduce your stress levels and stimulate your organs.

To rebalance your doshas, it is recommended to book a cleansing Ayurveda retreat and have your kidney weakness treated by experienced Ayurveda therapists.
Traditional Panchakarma therapies first cleanse your body of accumulated metabolic toxins.

In addition to establishing dosha balance, the focus is on healing your kidney tissue. A reduction of Kapha frees the clogged nephrons and allows the flow of Vata.
