Hi Collin,
I’m sorry to hear about your condition. Could you tell me if your appetite has changed, or if you feel more fatigued than usual? Have you noticed any changes in your urine, such as color or frequency? Also, are you feeling more stressed or anxious lately?
In Ayurveda, a holistic approach is often used. I recommend focusing on balancing your Vata dosha and using herbs like Punarnava for kidney support. A diet of light, easily digestible food and staying hydrated with warm herbal teas may help, along with stress reduction practices like meditation.
Hello Mr Collin, Are you on dialysis treatment right now? 7% GFR is quite low. What medication are you on?

For someone experiencing the symptoms you described with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, Ayurveda can offer supportive care alongside any conventional medical treatment. But with seven percent kidney function, if you’re not already under immediate medical supervision, please seek urgent care. Now, let’s look at how Ayurveda might help support your condition.
In Ayurveda, kidneys are often associated with balancing the water elemental components - related to doshas such as Kapha. When you’re experiencing significant difficulties like chest pain, breathing problems, and intense swelling, it’s necessary to understand that Ayurveda alone may not be enough without modern medical intervention, especially if dialysis or other treatments are indicated by your healthcare provider.
With the symptoms you describe, ensuring the right balance of Pitta dosha is crucial. A Pitta-pacifying diet, which includes cooling, juicy, sweet foods can be rajusted. Avoid spicy, oily, and salty foods that may aggrevate your symptoms. Focus on things like fleshy fruits, milk, and rice, all of which are easier on your system.
For itching, applying coconut oil or neem oil to the skin may provide some relief, but avoid anything that might irritate even further. Aloe vera gel might help too.
Chronic conditions can benefit from pranayama (breathing exercises) like Nadi Shodhana, which strives to balance breathing patterns and calms the nervous system. Done daily, for 5-10 minutes, if you can.
Due to fluid retention, monitor fluid intake meticulously. Every little measure can make an impact in managing the symptoms effectively without overwhelming your kidneys.
Finally, certain herbs, such as Punarnava, can support kidney function. Consult directly with an Ayurvedic practitioner to see if this is right for you, as it must fit with your constitution and existing medications.
Remember, continual monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential. Listen to your body and prioritise safety above all else.
