Firstly, it’s great that you’re considering all possible options for your father’s health—but let’s clarify a few things about Ayurvedic medicine for creatinine control. It’s important to see Ayurveda as a complementary approach to modern medicine, especially in managing kidney health. Now, Ayurveda indeed has a variety of herbs and formulations, like Punarnava and Gokshura, that are traditionally used to support kidney health.
Punarnava, for example, translates roughly to “one which renews the body.” It’s a diuretic of sorts and is believed to help in reducing swelling (edema) by flushing out excess fluid. Gokshura, commonly known as Tribulus terrestris, is also used for its ability to support kidney function by tonifying the kidneys and urinary tract. These herbs work by balancing bodily fluids, aiding in detoxification, and supporting the kidneys.
But let’s be real—Ayurveda alone might not reverse kidney issues that have progressed considerably. It’s more about synergy; these approaches can help in managing symptoms but should complement allopathic treatments. Many users have seen improvements in energy levels and reduced swelling, but actual reduction in creatinine levels can fluctuate and might need a more comprehensive approach.
In terms of safety, herbal remedies are generally safe but can interact with current medications like diuretics. I would say it’s non-negotiable to consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner alongside your father’s usual doctor. They’ll make sure remedies don’t conflict with existing medications—sometimes it’s more in the interactions rather than the herbs themselves.
Regarding diet, Ayurveda often recommends personalized dietary changes depending on your father’s constitution or “prakriti.” It might include reducing salt intake or foods that are difficult to digest. But the key here is individualized care, no one-size-fits-all.
It’s tough to say exactly how long it’ll take to see results, some see changes in as little as 1-3 months while others vary significantly. Consistency is key. Make sure herbs are of high quality—often products from well-reputed brands that are third-party tested are a safe bet.
Any testimonial is personal and anecdotal, but many have found solace in the holistic approach Ayurveda offers. Despite its successes, regular monitoring of kidney function through lab tests is crucial to ensure conditions do not worsen.
I’d recommend reaching out to a qualified Ayurvedic doctor who can guide you further, and always keep your physicians in the loop for a balanced approach. Better safe than sorry, after all.
