Nephrotic syndrome ayurvedic treatment - #3845

Anonymously

My 10-year-old son was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome last year, and it’s been a rollercoaster since then. He has severe swelling in his face and legs, and his urine output is very low during relapses. The doctors put him on steroids, which helped for a while, but the side effects are worrying me. I’ve been reading about nephrotic syndrome Ayurvedic treatment and wondering if it might be a better long-term solution. Does nephrotic syndrome Ayurvedic treatment actually help reduce protein loss in urine? I’ve come across herbs like Punarnava and Gokshura that are supposed to support kidney function, but I’m not sure how effective they are for this condition specifically. Is there a set Ayurvedic medicine or combination of treatments for nephrotic syndrome? One thing that confuses me is whether nephrotic syndrome Ayurvedic treatment focuses more on the diet or herbal remedies. My son’s diet is already low in salt and protein because of his condition, but would Ayurveda recommend further changes? Are there specific foods to avoid or include that might complement the treatment? Also, is nephrotic syndrome Ayurvedic treatment suitable for kids? I don’t want to risk trying something without being completely sure it’s safe for his age. If anyone has experience managing nephrotic syndrome with Ayurveda, I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations. How long does it usually take to see results, and is this approach sustainable?

Doctors’ responses

Ayurvedic treatment for nephrotic syndrome can help support kidney function and may reduce protein loss in urine, but it should be used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine, especially for children. Punarnava and Gokshura are commonly used herbs to improve kidney health and reduce swelling, and they might be effective in managing symptoms over time. However, they should be used under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner. Ayurvedic treatment for nephrotic syndrome typically focuses on both diet and herbal remedies. Besides maintaining a low-salt, low-protein diet, Ayurveda may suggest including foods like barley, moong dal, and fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding heavy, oily foods. A balanced, easily digestible diet is important to support kidney function. For children, Ayurvedic treatments are generally safe when prescribed by a qualified practitioner and adjusted for age. Results from Ayurvedic treatments can take several weeks to months, so patience is key. It's crucial to regularly consult with both your pediatric nephrologist and an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your son.
