is ayurvedic medicine safe for kidney patients - #25513
I am really worried about my dad right now. He’s been dealing with some kidney issues and the doctors prescribed him some stuff, but he’s been asking about Ayurvedic options. I keep hearing people say how great is ayurvedic medicine for all sorts of health problems, but is ayurvedic medicine safe for kidney patients? I mean, I don't want him to try something that could make things worse. He’s been struggling with his diet and he’s so tired of pills that don't seem to work! We did some research, and there are tons of Ayurvedic herbs and treatments people rave about, but what if they interact badly with what he’s taking? Last week, his lab results showed some weird fluctuations in his levels. Doctors said it's nothing major but still, my worries have gone up. I feel lost and keep thinking: is ayurvedic medicine safe for kidney patients or would it just complicate everything? Just trying to keep him healthy, you know? Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!

is jamun good for kidney patient - #24652
I am really confused about something. Last week, I visited my doctor and he mentioned that my kidney function isn't great, which was kind of a shocker. I've been trying to eat healthier but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I've heard a lot about jamun lately, you know, the fruit that’s dark purple? I was wondering, is jamun good for kidney patient, like me? I love how it tastes, and I used to have it in smoothies and desserts, but I’ve read mixed things online. Some say it's great for health, while others warn about its effects on kidneys. I mean, it’s packed with vitamins and has antioxidants, but could it actually be harmful for someone like me? I also struggle with sugar levels, which adds to my worries. Do you think I can include jamun in my diet, or should I completely steer clear of it? Any personal experiences or advice would really help!
