Kidney disease - #4602

This condition reflects an imbalance in the Vata dosha (responsible for movement, emotions, and thoughts), aggravated due to stress, overthinking, and kidney dysfunction. The mind-body connection is disturbed, leading to heightened anxiety and depression. Suggestions: Herbal Support: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Helps in managing anxiety and improves mental stability. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Enhances memory, reduces anxiety, and promotes restful sleep. Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): Supports kidney health and reduces swelling. Dietary Recommendations: Eat warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Avoid processed and salty foods to reduce kidney load. Include ghee in small amounts for mental calmness. Drink barley water to cleanse the kidneys. Lifestyle Modifications: Practice Pranayama (e.g., Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari) daily for 15 minutes to balance the mind and reduce anxiety. Engage in mild yoga like Shavasana or Balasana to calm the body and mind. Follow a regular sleep schedule and avoid overstimulation before bedtime. Special Therapies: Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil to calm Vata. Shirodhara (oil flow on the forehead) for mental clarity and relaxation.
