Dr. Prashant Kumar
I’m Dr. Prashant Kumar, a multi-specialty Ayurvedic doctor with over four years of experience in holistic and integrative healthcare. After earning my Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), I deepened my expertise through focused study in several specialties, including Panchakarma therapy, herbal pharmacology, sexual health, cosmetology, general medicine, and dietetics. My clinical practice blends time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to offer personalized, results-driven care. My clinic is designed as a peaceful, healing space — a reflection of my belief that recovery begins in a calm, nurturing environment. I start each day with yoga and meditation, practices that help me stay grounded and attentive to every patient I see. I believe that effective treatment must go beyond physical symptoms, so my consultations involve a comprehensive assessment of emotional, mental, and lifestyle factors that influence health. I take a multi-disciplinary approach, often working closely with nutritionists, yoga practitioners, and wellness experts to build customized treatment plans. These may include herbal formulations, detox therapies like Panchakarma, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient’s constitution or dosha. My work has helped patients manage and often reverse chronic conditions such as arthritis, gastrointestinal imbalances, skin disorders, metabolic issues, and stress-induced ailments. I’m deeply committed to educating my patients—not just about their current condition, but about how to maintain balance and long-term health through Ayurvedic principles. What sets my practice apart is my empathetic, patient-first approach. I’ve built strong, lasting relationships within the community, and I frequently conduct workshops on preventive care, Ayurvedic nutrition, seasonal wellness routines, and stress management. To me, Ayurveda is more than a profession—it’s a lifelong journey of growth, healing, and connection. My goal is to empower every patient to take charge of their health through awareness, discipline, and natural care.

A GFR of 68 is indicative of reduced kidney function, falling into the range that marks mild kidney damage. Considering your symptoms, like pain and swelling in the feet, its understandable to be concerned about your kidneys. With high blood pressure and high cholesterol for the past 15 yrs, there indeed could be some impact on your kidneys over time, as they are closely linked to the cardiovascular system. First of all, it's critical to discuss with your healthcare provider about these symptoms, as they might require immediate attention. A nephrologist could provide valuable insights into the extent of any kidney imbalance. Meanwhile, Ayurveda can serve as a supportive role in managing and potentially improving kidney function through dietary and lifestyle adjustments. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, balancing your doshas, especially Vata and Kapha, can be beneficial given the edema and pain which are symptomatic of their imbalance. Begin by focusing on your diet; reduce intake of salty and spicy foods which can aggravate these doshas. Incorporate foods that are easily digestible, such as cooked vegetables, soups, and shedrow mung dal – these are all gentle on the kidneys. Herbs like Punarnava and Gokshura are known in Ayurveda for supporting kidney health and reducing swelling. They can be taken in the form of a supplement or decoction, ideally after consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure suitability given your existing medications. Be mindful with your daily water intake. It's a tricky balance because while hydration is vital, excess water can exacerbate swelling. Warm water can help with digestion and may aid in managing Vata. In terms of lifestyle, gentle morning walks or yoga can help improve circulation and aid in managing blood pressure and cholesterol — though make sure to pace yourself and avoid stress to the joints and muscles. Again, these steps are supportive; engaging with your medical doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring your blood pressure, cholesterol, and kidney function is absolutely indispensable to manage your symptoms effectively and safely.
