potassium citrate and citric acid oral solution - #18318
My doctor recently recommended potassium citrate and citric acid oral solution for urinary health, and I want to understand how it works, its uses, and whether Ayurveda has natural ways to support kidney and urinary function. From what I read, potassium citrate and citric acid oral solution is commonly used to prevent kidney stones, alkalize urine, and support electrolyte balance. It works by reducing urine acidity, which helps in preventing calcium oxalate and uric acid kidney stones. It is also used to treat conditions like metabolic acidosis and urinary tract issues. I sometimes experience burning sensation while urinating, lower abdominal discomfort, and occasional cloudy urine—could these be signs of urinary tract imbalances or excess acidity? Does Ayurveda classify urinary issues as a Pitta or Kapha imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to maintain urinary health? Additionally, I want to know whether diet and hydration play a role in preventing kidney stones and urinary tract issues. I consume a lot of caffeine and processed foods, and I sometimes forget to drink enough water—could these habits be increasing urine acidity and the risk of kidney stones? Does Ayurveda recommend specific foods, herbal teas, or detox therapies to naturally alkalize urine and support kidney function? I have heard that Gokshura, Punarnava, and Coconut Water are beneficial for kidney health and urinary balance—would these help in preventing kidney stones naturally? Are there any Ayurvedic urinary tonics or lifestyle modifications that can help in balancing urine pH and improving kidney detoxification? Since I prefer natural treatments over pharmaceutical solutions, I want to explore Ayurvedic methods to reduce urine acidity, prevent kidney stones, and support electrolyte balance naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on potassium citrate and citric acid oral solution, its effects, and natural kidney-supporting treatments.
