13mm Stone In Kidney - #8065

Anonymously

I was recently diagnosed with a 13mm stone in my kidney, and while my doctor has recommended certain treatments, I’m also exploring natural and Ayurvedic remedies to manage the condition and potentially avoid surgical intervention. I’d like to understand more about how Ayurveda addresses kidney stones of this size and whether natural methods can be effective in breaking them down or managing the symptoms. From what I’ve read, a 13mm stone in the kidney is considered large and may cause significant discomfort, including sharp pain, blood in the urine, and difficulty urinating. Can Ayurveda help dissolve stones of this size, or does it primarily focus on preventing further growth and reducing symptoms? Are there specific herbs or formulations, like Gokshura, Punarnava, or Varuna, that are effective in managing kidney stones and supporting urinary health? I’m also curious about how Ayurvedic treatments are administered for a large kidney stone. Should remedies like Ashmarihar Kadha or Chandraprabha Vati be taken daily, and how long does it typically take to see results? Are these remedies more effective when combined with specific dietary changes, such as avoiding oxalate-rich foods and increasing water intake? Another question I have is about pain management during this process. Does Ayurveda recommend any therapies or external treatments, such as abdominal massages or herbal poultices, to alleviate discomfort while the stone is being dissolved? Are there any Panchakarma treatments specifically designed for urinary tract and kidney health? Lastly, I’d like to hear from anyone who has successfully managed a 13mm stone in kidney using Ayurvedic or natural remedies. Were the treatments effective, and how long did it take to achieve results? Were there any challenges in maintaining a consistent routine or following the dietary recommendations? Any detailed advice on managing kidney stones naturally and understanding Ayurvedic approaches to this condition would be greatly appreciated.

In Ayurveda, managing kidney stones, especially a 13mm stone, involves a holistic approach aimed at dissolving the stone, alleviating pain, and preventing further stone formation. While a stone of this size may require medical intervention, Ayurvedic remedies can support the process by improving urinary health and addressing the underlying dosha imbalances. Herbs like Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varuna are known for their diuretic properties, helping to flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and support kidney function. Formulations such as Ashmarihar Kadha and Chandraprabha Vati can be taken daily to promote the dissolution of the stone and relieve symptoms, though it may take several weeks or months for noticeable results. These remedies are often more effective when combined with dietary changes, such as avoiding foods high in oxalates, consuming plenty of water, and including cooling, anti-inflammatory foods. For pain management, Ayurvedic therapies like abdominal massage, herbal poultices, and external treatments such as hot compresses may provide relief. Panchakarma treatments, such as Basti (medicated enema) and Swedana (steam therapy), can also help detoxify and support kidney health. If anyone has successfully managed a kidney stone of this size with Ayurvedic or natural remedies, sharing their experience with specific treatments and results would be valuable in understanding the practical applications of this approach.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing kidney stones, including those as large as 13mm, by focusing on breaking down the stone, preventing further growth, and alleviating symptoms. While Ayurvedic remedies may not directly dissolve stones of this size, they can support the body in breaking down the stone and promoting its gradual expulsion. Herbs like Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varuna are known for their diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce the size of stones, relieve pain, and support kidney health. Formulations such as Ashmarihar Kadha or Chandraprabha Vati are commonly used and can be taken daily, but results may take several weeks to months, depending on the individual and the stone's characteristics. Incorporating dietary changes is crucial—avoiding oxalate-rich foods, reducing animal protein intake, and increasing hydration help prevent further stone formation. Ayurveda also recommends herbal teas made with herbs like coriander, celery seed, and turmeric to flush out toxins and promote kidney health. To manage pain, external treatments like warm herbal poultices or abdominal massages with oils such as sesame or Mahanarayan oil can help alleviate discomfort. Panchakarma treatments, like Basti (medicated enemas), are also used to detoxify the body and improve kidney function. People who have used Ayurvedic methods for kidney stones report positive results, but consistency is key, especially with dietary recommendations. Some challenges include sticking to the routine and maintaining patience, as the stone's expulsion process can take time. It's important to consult with both an Ayurvedic practitioner and your doctor for a comprehensive treatment plan.
