kidney position - #18137
Doctor, I recently had an ultrasound done for a routine check-up, and the report mentioned something about my kidney position being slightly lower than normal. The doctor didn’t seem too concerned, but it made me curious—does the kidney position affect kidney function? I read that some people have a condition called nephroptosis, where the kidney drops lower when standing. I don’t have any major symptoms, but I do feel occasional lower back pain and discomfort when I stand for long periods. Could this be related to my kidney position? How does Ayurveda view kidney health and structure? Does an imbalance in Vata, Pitta, or Kapha affect kidney placement or function? Are there any natural ways to strengthen the kidneys and support their proper positioning? I read that certain yoga poses help support kidney health—should I try those? I also want to know if diet plays a role. Are there foods that Ayurveda recommends for keeping the kidneys strong? I drink a lot of caffeine—could that be affecting my kidney function? I would love to hear your Ayurvedic perspective on kidney position and how I can ensure my kidneys stay healthy naturally.
