Kidney health, man, it’s such an important thing to focus on. From what you’re saying, it’s kinda crucial to protect that left kidney now and do whatever you can. First off, since the right one’s at 99.5 failure, it’s really best to discuss this urgently with a nephrologist, or a doctor who specializes in kidneys. But since we’re hangin’ out in Ayurveda space, let’s see what you can do.
The left kidney’s still kinda working, so let’s keep it like that. Ayurvedically speaking, kidneys relate to your Vata dosha, so nurturing them means keeping Vata balanced, you know? Stay hydrated, but not just any liquids. Warm water with a bit of lemon or cumin seed infusion is a go-to. Sip it throughout the day, avoiding those fizzy or really cold drinks.
Time to talk diet, though. Stick to light, easy-to-digest foods, cooked and warm. Nothing too heavy or salty — avoid packaged stuff. Fresh fruits, veggies, and lean proteins like mung dal work wonders. But if you’re a fan of raw foods or too much spices, ease off them for now. Keep it gentle.
Herbal-wise, punarnava’s a star for kidney rejuvenation. If you can find punarnava powder or extract, mix a teaspoon in warm water and take it daily. Gokshura’s another helper, supporting urinary health and kidney function too.
Stress can kinda mess things up, right? So incorporating some slow, gentle yoga or pranayama can help center things and support your kidney health. Practice some gentle deep breathing for a few minutes a day — it helps!
Of course, if any pain or changes occur, keep your docs in the loop. Balancing modern medicine with Ayurveda? That’s a one-two punch that could really help optimize your kidney’s state. Remembering to not rely entirely on this, as your condition needs immediate medical attention too. Take care alright?
