By Roger Burnett


Do you suffer from chronic kidney disease? Kidney disease or renal failure can be caused by several factors which include: long usage of over-the-counter drugs, exposure to environmental toxins and pesticides or other diseases and illnesses. Thankfully, there are a lot of natural treatments to help in the healing and reversing of kidney disease.

The consequences can be severe. Although most people with diabetes are likely to have kidney disease, other factors such as genetics, blood pressure and blood sugar control do also play a role. So, the better a person keeps blood pressure and diabetes under control, the lower the chances of kidney disease developing.

Symptoms, though not specific, may range from fluid buildup, loss of sleep, stomach upset and poor appetite to difficulty concentrating. It is, therefore, essential to see your physician regularly. The doctor can check blood (for waste products), urine (for protein) and blood pressure, among other complications.

Herbal medicine Taking herbs improves your kidneys since the herbs assist in the regeneration and detoxification of the kidney cells. Some main kidney healers are: nettle leaf, parsley, marshmallow, and horsetail. Ensure you take the herbs after consulting your doctor or naturopath particularly if you are taking prescription drugs.

Ayurvedic herbs Taking Ayurvedic herbs (Indian herbs) assist in improving kidney functions. Some of these familiar herbs are: gokshur/tribulus terrestris, kaasni, punarnava and varun. You can check with your Ayurvedic practitioner to know the best remedy for yourself.

Apple Cider Vinegar Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for years and is considered as effective by most people as it helps in breaking down kidney stones. Certainly, any substance that dissolves pearls can disintegrate the calculi caused by calcium inside kidneys. Also, the substance has a diuretic effect which assists in flushing kidneys out. In addition, it is alkalising to the body which helps the kidneys by giving it one less job to do.

Baking Soda Studies show that common sodium bicarbonate helps in slowing down the process of chronic kidney disease. The substance achieves this due to its capability to neutralize the acidity of the blood.

This agent, it's believed, assists in reversing kidney disease. Cherry juice This juice has high potassium and may help kidney function and prevents stone formation. As a matter of fact, potassium together with sodium and calcium helps regulate blood pressure in the body and keep the kidneys healthy. If you are suffering from kidney disease, unfortunately, you may not need increased potassium. Always consult your doctor before using foods to treat serious diseases.

High blood pressure may cause damage and narrowing of the blood vessels thus affecting the nephrons of the kidneys as well as other organs such as the heart. Blood pressure influences the rate at which the disease progresses; even a slight increase in blood pressure can worsen your kidney disease.
