How to reverse GFR from 26 to normal values - #10939

Reversing GFR from 26 to normal values is a delicate process, especially with diabetes in the mix. Ayurveda can complement allopathic treatments but should be done cautiously, especially with chronic conditions. In Ayurveda, we aim to restore balance by focusing on diet, herbs, and lifestyle changes that align with your individual constitution, or prakriti.

First up, diet. Emphasizing a kidney-friendly diet with a focus on reducing toxins (Ama) is crucial. Your friend might want to eat lots of leafy greens, but limit potassium-rich foods if that’s been advised by his doc. Favor easily digestible meals. Moong dal, rice, and steamed veggies can be gentle on the kidneys. And knowing Ayurveda, it’s keey to maintain Agni (digestive fire), avoiding heavy, oily, and spicy foods can help stabilize blood sugar along the way.

Herbs play a big role in Ayurvedic approach. I’ve seen clients benefit from Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varuna, renowned for their kidney-supportive properties. But please, don’t self-prescribe. Consulting with Ayurvedic practitioner for specific dosage and combination would be ideal. They’d know how these can work with his current meds.

Lifestyle tweaks? Yes! Gentle exercises, like a slow walk or yoga asanas, can increase circulation. Stress management is equally important - meditation or Pranayama, like Anulom Vilom, might ease stress levels, helping the body heal better. Consistent sleep pattern is vital too, resting the kidneys.

And finally, checking with his medical team about any Ayurvedic interventions before starting them is vital. Remember, this is a supportive process, not a replacement for any prescribed medical treatments. Keep it all in balance!🌿
