Hello Thank you for sharing your concern . Such a condition that creatinine levels are slightly raised even in the last 3–6 months without any symptoms is indicative of mild kidney stress or reduced filtration efficiency.
The interesting thing is With the right time and good measures creatinine can be made normal again naturally.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICINE
1 Punarnava Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food - Improves kidney filtration Fights swelling, water retention Helps in a natural way to lower creatinine
2 Neeri KFT 15ml-0-15ml after food Potentizes the kidneys & urinary tract Soft diuretic
3 Varunadi Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food (Detoxification of the kidney is supported and lessens stone formation or obstruction.)
✅HOME REMEDIES
1. Boiled Barley Water (Yavambu) Natural diuretic Helpful in reducing creatinine load Consume 1–2 glasses/day
2 Coconut Water (but only 3–4 times/week) Keeps the body hydrated with the necessary electrolytes Works well with mild kidney strain
3 Cumin-Coriander-Fennel Tea (CCF Tea) Very effective in kidney detox Take 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, boil them in 2 cups of water. When water reduces to 1 cup, drink once a day.
4 Warm Water Only Do not drink cold water as it decreases the metabolic rate of the kidneys.
✅DIET MODIFICATION
Avoid Red meat, excess protein Pickles, papad, chips Excess salt Frequent painkillers (NSAIDs) Very sour foods (tomato, tamarind) Alcohol & smoking (if applicable
Include Lauki (bottle gourd) juice 100 ml in the morning Ash gourd stew Fresh fruits (papaya, apple, pears) Moong dal
With consistent treatment your creatinine level will gradually reduce but consistency is the key

Hello, Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. Your mildly elevated creatinine level, despite following a balanced diet and having no symptoms, suggests early kidney stress, often due to reduced filtration efficiency, dehydration, high protein load, or long-term lifestyle factors. The aim of treatment will be to support kidney function, reduce filtration load, clear metabolic waste, and protect the nephrons through herbal diuretics, Rasayana support, and diet optimisation.
🔎 Recommended Investigations 1.Repeat Serum Creatinine & eGFR – to assess actual kidney filtration. 2.Urine Routine + Microscopy – rule out infection or protein loss. 3.Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR) – checks kidney damage. 4.Renal ultrasound (KUB) – to rule out stones or structural issues. 5.Serum Electrolytes (Na, K, Ca) – identify early imbalance. 6.HbA1c & Fasting Blood Sugar – diabetes affects kidneys. 7.Blood Pressure monitoring – uncontrolled BP elevates creatinine.
💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 30 days (Creatinine Reduction & Kidney Cleansing) 1.Punarnavadi Kashayam + Varunadi Kashayam – 20 ml with 30ml of warm water twice daily before food 2.Punarnava Mandoor – 1 tablet twice daily after meals. 3.Gokshuradi Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily (supports kidney filtration). 4.Coconut water – 2–3 times a week for natural hydration.
Phase 2 – 45 days (Renal Strengthening & Long-term Protection) 1.Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet twice daily. 2.Giloy (Guduchi) tablets – 1 tablet twice daily (anti-inflammatory). 3.Amla juice – 20 ml every morning for kidney regeneration.
🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1.Warm water intake – minimum 2–2.5 L/day unless restricted. 2.Avoid high-intensity workouts temporarily (reduces creatinine load). 3.Mild massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil for stress reduction. 4.Weekly fasting with fruits + warm water (only if no diabetes).
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid (these increase creatinine) Red meat, excessive protein powders, high-protein diets. Too much dal, rajma, chole (limit quantity, not eliminate). Excess salt, pickles, papads, chips. Creatine supplements or energy drinks. Dehydration or long gaps without fluids. NSAID painkillers (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, etc.)—stress kidneys.
✅ Include (kidney-friendly foods) Boiled vegetables, vegetable soups, lauki and tinda preparations. Moong dal, masoor dal, small portions of legumes. Watermelon, papaya, pomegranate, grapes. Barley water – 1 glass daily. Cumin-coriander-fennel (jeera–dhaniya–saunf) water. Turmeric + warm water for anti-inflammatory support.
🧘🏻♀️ Yoga & Pranayama Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes daily. Shashankasana (Child’s pose) – improves renal circulation. Pawanmuktasana – aids detox & digestion. Gentle walking 30 minutes daily to improve filtration.
🕉️ Follow-up & Duration Creatinine usually improves within 6–8 weeks with proper hydration and Ayurvedic renal support. Repeat Creatinine + eGFR after 2 months. Long-term kidney protection should be continued for 3–6 months. If creatinine rises suddenly or eGFR drops, nephrologist consultation is advised. ✨ With kidney-friendly habits, hydration, Punarnava-based herbal therapy, and dietary moderation, your creatinine level can improve steadily and naturally. Early intervention gives excellent recovery.

HELLO,
Creatinine is a waste product formed when your muscle use energy Your kidneys filter it out of the blood and remove it through urine
When kidneys are strained or damaged, creatinine level rise, meaning the kidneys are not filtering efficiently
This strain can be temporary reversible or long term depending on duration and kidney reserve
In Ayurveda, kidney are part of Mutravaha srotas- the channels responsible for urine formation and excretion
Creatinine elevation reflects -Ama (toxic residue due to incomplete metabolism) -Kapha-pitta imbalance (inflammation, obstruction, and sluggish filtration) -Vrikka srotodushti (blockage or weakness in kidney channels)
So, management focuses on -removing toxins -balancing doshas -restoring kidney filtration powder -stregthening overall metabolism
AYUREVDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL= STAGE 3
STAGE 1= CLEANSING AND DETOXIFICATION GOAL= reduce ama and inflammation, open urinary channels, and promote natural detox
1) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after food = reduces swelling, supports filtration, acts as mild diuretic
2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =promotes urinary flow, cleanses channels
3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15ml with equal water twice daily =detoxifies kidneys, clears obstruction
4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =supports urinary health, balaces pitta kapha
5) GUDUCHI SATVA = 250 mg twice daily with warm water =improves immuity and supports call recovery
EXTERNAL SUPPORT
1) OIL MASSAGE WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA -reduces systemic inflammation and improves circulation
2) STEAM= enhances detox through sweating
DURATION=4-6 weeks
STAGE 2= NOURISHEMENT AND REJUVENATION GOAL= repair and stregthen kidney tissue, prevent recurrence
1) GUDUCHI RASAYANA = 250 mg cap twice daily after mals =tissue rejuvenator, antioxidant
2) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 gm twice daily after meals =rich in vitamin c, enhance kidney recovery
3) SHILAJIT RASAYANA (purified)= 1 cap daily in morning =mineral rejuvenator, improves metabolism
DURATION= 1-3 months after stage 1
STAGE 3= MAINTENANCE AND PREVENTION -continue light kidney supportive herbs like punarnava, gokshura or coriander water -repeat short detox cycles every 6 months if creatinine tends to rise again
HOME REMEDIEA
1) BARLEY WATER= boil 1 tbsp barley in 3 cups water, drink through the day- mild diuretic, clears toxins
2) CORIANDER-FENNEL-CUMIN TEA= boil 1 tsp each in 2cups water, drink warm= improves digestion and kidney circulation
3) PUNARNAVA DECOCTION = boil 1 tsp dried root in 2 cups water-> reduce to half- clears fluid retention, reduces creatinine
4) COCONUT WATER= 1/2 cup once daily=natural electrolyte balance
5) BOTTLE GOURD SOUP= boil with cumin and coriander- cooling, supports urinary flow
DIET -follow a light, pitta kapha pacifying diet -warm, cooked easy to digest and low in salt and protein

To address slightly high creatinine levels in your blood through Ayurveda, it’s essential to focus on kidney health and overall balance in the body. Creatinine levels can indicate that the kidneys may be under stress or not functioning optimally. Here’s a tailored approach you could consider:
Firstly, diet plays a significant role. Emphasize consuming light, easily digestible foods. Foods high in prana (vital life force), such as fresh fruits like apples, pears, and grapes are beneficial. Avoid heavy, oily, or excessively spicy foods which can burden the kidneys. Ensure adequate hydration with water; however, avoid overconsumption as that can strain the kidneys too.
Ayurveda suggests specific herbs known for supporting kidney health. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), and Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) are particularly noted for their beneficial effects on the kidneys. These herbs help in maintaining urinary tract health and promote kidney function, you can find them in supplements or herbal teas. Consult a qualified practitioner to determine appropriate dosages.
Implementing a balanced lifestyle, focus on routines that encourage gentle elimination and detoxification. Regular practice of yoga or pranayama can enhance circulation and support healthy metabolism, which aids in reducing creatinine. Engage in daily pranayama techniques like anulom vilom (alternate nostril breathing), which aids in reducing stress and strengthening overall bodily function.
It’s essential to maintain regular bowel movements; constipation can contribute to toxin buildup in body. Trifala churna, an ancient ayurvedic formulation of three fruits, may help regulate digestion when taken with warm water at bed time.
Manage stress as its can increase creatinine indirectly. Practices like meditation or mindful breathing provide relaxation, appealingly balancing the doshas and promoting well-being.
However, if there’s any significant rise in creatinine levels or symptoms like swelling, confusion or difficulty urinating, immediate medical consultation is critical to rule out underlying conditions. While ayurvedic approaches can support kidney health, they’re not a substitute for necessary medical treatment in acute or advanced kidney conditions.

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
Elevated creatinine levels often indicate an imbalance in kidney function. Addressing this through Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches involves harmonizing your doshas and enhancing the efficient function of your excretory systems.
Firstly, maintaining hydration is crucial, but be careful not to overhydrate in case of kidney concerns. Drink moderate amounts of water spread throughout the day. It’s important to favor warm water as it aids in better circulation and metabolism.
Next, consider incorporating herbs like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) into your daily regime. Both are known for their renal support properties. You might prepare a decoction by boiling a teaspoon of these dried herbs in water and consuming it twice daily. However, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for precise dosages aligning with your individual prakriti.
Diet plays a significant role in managing high creatinine levels. Avoid excessive protein intake as it may stress the kidneys. Instead, focus on a well-balanced, plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Include foods like bottle gourd and pumpkin, which are light and diuretic, helping to flush toxins.
Methods to further support kidney function include regular oil massages (abhyanga) using lukewarm sesame oil, which calms Vata dosha and promotes circulation. Yoga postures like Paschimottanasana and Ardha Matsyendrasana can also be beneficial in stimulating kidney function, but be sure to practice under guidance.
Lastly, reduce stress through pranayama practices, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), to balance your nadis and enhance overall energy flow. Reducing mental strain has a complementary effect on physical health, especially on sensitive systems like the kidneys.
If your creatinine levels remain high or worsen, seek involved medical intervention promptly to prevent complications.
