How to Manage Kidney Health Without Dialysis Treatment

As we know that kidney disease is a rapidly spreading health condition that affects millions of individuals every year. Our body gives warning signs silently, but we ignore them and leave them untreated. When kidney performance becomes poor or severe, most patients choose dialysis as a last option. But natural health care systems, such as Ayurveda and Homoeopathy, provide effective and holistic methods that can help us with kidney healing and general wellness. Many of us know the advantages of Ayurveda, and many people now move to natural healing without dialysis. Ayurvedic therapies are time-proven therapies that aim to enhance filtration, reduce toxin accumulation, and provide natural healing mechanisms.

HIIMS (Jeena Sikho) provides natural treatment called the GRAD system includes Head Down Tilt (HDT), Hot Water Immersion (HWI), and the DIP diet. It heals the kidneys by using natural means. Let’s discuss in this blog about the kidney treatment without dialysis. 

Understanding the Role of Kidneys in the Body

The Kidneys play a critical role in the body by eliminating waste, maintaining electrolytes, blood pressure, and ensuring water is maintained in the human body. If the kidney is not working properly, then the accumulation of waste and fluids occurs, resulting in swelling, weakness, nausea, and decreased appetite.

In the modern medical world, dialysis means a temporary replacement of the role of the filter, but not the restoration of healthy kidneys. Kidney treatment in Ayurveda are directed to trigger the natural healing of the kidney to purify and regenerate. These are not about treating the symptoms. They treat the root cause of the disease, which could be poor circulation, toxin overload, or inflammation.

Kidney treatment without dialysis

A. The GRAD System

The GRAD System is a kidney treatment in Ayurveda at HIIMS (Jeena Sikho) and has been able to assist various patients with different kidney problems to maintain their health with natural healing. It includes three easy yet effective therapies known as the Hot Water Immersion (HWI), Head Down Tilt (HDT) and the DIP Diet.

(a) Hot Water Immersion (HWI)

This treatment involves the use of warm water (approximately 42 °C) as a method of healing. The patients are then immersed in water (30-45minutes) and this dilates blood vessels and enhances blood flow.

How it helps:

• It causes blood vessels to dilate. This gives the kidneys an opportunity to receive more oxygen and nutrients.
• It enhances sweating, which is a third kidney since it helps to get rid of toxins through the skin.
• Activates heat shock proteins, which repair damaged kidney cells.

Benefits:

• Increases renal clearance and urine.
• Dilutes swelling and lethargy.
• Enhances profound kidney detoxification and enhanced metabolism.

(b) Head Down Tilt (HDT)

In this treatment, the body is bent in such a way that the head is below the legs (5 o -15 o ). It is a mere gravitational adaptation that redirects the blood supply to the kidney.

How it helps:

• Takes care of raising blood flow to the kidneys.
• Enhances the effectiveness of filtration.
• Increases urine secretion and excretion.

Benefits:

• Helps to lower the level of creatinine and urea.
• Reduces edema through the enhancement of fluid balance.
• Non-invasive and can be conducted without a lot of effort.

(c)  The DIP Diet 

It is a well-known diet that includes strict principles and guidelines. The DIP Diet (Disciplined Intelligent Person’s Diet) is a famous diet that follows strict rules.

It mainly focuses on the light, alkaline, and enzyme-rich raw,plant-based meals.

Diet plan: 

• Morning: Plate 1: Three to five types of seasonal fruits, 10g per kilogram of body weight. Plate 2: Typical dishes of millets or homemade meals
• Afternoon: Plate 1: Three to five types of seasonal vegetable salad, 5g per kilogram of body weight. Plate 2: Light home-cooked food, or millets
• Evening: Plate 1: Three to five varieties of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Plate 2: Vegetable soup made at home (optional)

Benefits:

• Lessens the accumulation and acidity of toxins.
• Promotes digestion and boosts immunity.
• Aids in the management of blood pressure and sugar in the blood, major factors in kidney health.

B. Kidney treatment in Ayurveda

Kidney diseases occur when the doshas are in excess, like Vata and Kapha. These doshas may be worsened by poor digestion, poor diet, stress and dehydration, which causes the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the kidneys.

The most important Ayurvedic methods are:

• Panchakarma Detox: A cleansing therapy is a five-step procedure that eliminates toxins in deep tissues.
• Herbal Support: Medications such as Punarnava, Varun, Gokshura, and Triphala are known to clear excess fluids as well as aid in repairing the kidneys.
• Lifestyle Correction: Sleeping regularly, taking warm water, and doing some light yoga, to keep the circulation going.

Benefits:

• Lowering of the creatinine level and urea.
• Enhances vitality and hunger.
• Avoids additional damage to the kidneys.
• Works without side effects, mildly.
