Natural Remedies for Kidney Health

Kidneys are the most crucial organ to the body. There isn't a way to reverse kidney failure because you have to treat the root cause (your diet, lack of exercise, hormone levels are all factors) natural remedies and essential oils can naturally support those changes and provide relief and improvement.

One of the most important things to do is make sure to decrease your sodium intake. Limiting salt and high-sodium foods reduces hypertension, assists blood pressure medications to work more effectively and treats fluid retention. The sodium recommendation for stage 3 CKD is 1,000 to 4,000 mg/day. Speak with your doctor or dietitian to determine your recommended daily amount.

If you have cardiovascular disease or your blood cholesterol is high, unhealthy fats—such as saturated fats and trans-fats found in processed foods and meats—should be replaced by poly- and monounsaturated fats from vegetable oil, canola oil and olive oil. A limit on high cholesterol foods is recommended. Eliminate oils and fried foods. Use coconut oil instead for cooking and for skin.

You can maintain healthy kidneys by not smoking. Cut back on alcohol and caffeine as well and anything other than water or herbal tea. Other drinks contain sugar and will increase inflammation and acidity in the body. Keep your blood pressure at a normal level as well as your blood sugar levels.

Your cholesterol should be kept in a healthy range. Most of these factors can be done by drinking plenty of water, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a whole-foods plant based natural diet.

Eat plenty of fruit – bananas, oranges, apples, and melons. Vegetables like carrots, broccoli, spinach, kale, parsley and peas should be a part of your diet. These foods can be blended or juiced to provide more nutritional value without compromise taste. Fruits and vegetables are a rich source of antioxidants that can help fight premature aging, improve the immune system and can improve kidney and bladder health. They can be eaten raw or blended with essential oils and leafy greens like kale and spinach.

Get some form of exercise every day. Take a walk, ride a bike, garden, or swim. It doesn’t matter what you do, 30 minutes of exercise every day will help keep your kidneys healthy.

Here are some of the essential oils that help support healthy kidneys. These oils are high grade and can be used with carrier oil directly on the skin and some can be used in smoothies and juicing to add benefits. These oils can also be used to replace a wide range of store brand products used within your home and on your body.

Out of various Renal Pathologies, the two most common and severe kidney conditions are:

Kidney Stones

Renal Failure

(In cases of drug toxicity, Forced Alkaline Diuresis is given to patients, for immediate drug removal)

Kidney Stones, also known as Renal Calculus (Nephrolithiasis) are Crystal Oxalate Crystals. They are formed in the kidney from the minerals present in the kidney. These stones are formed normally, and pass through the Ureter without any symptoms. However, when they increase in size, they may block the Ureter, leading to Pain (Renal Colic)

Basic Management includes:

Re-Hydration i.e. Water Therapy

The Patient is asked to drink plenty amount of water.

Drug Therapy

Narcotic Pain Analgesics are frequently prescribed to patients with renal colic.

For Severe cases, treatment regimen includes:

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL).

Surgical Removal Of Stones

Haemodialysis

Peritoneal Dialysis

In Haemodialysis, Blood is filtered using a dialyzer and dialysis machine whereas in Peritoneal Dialysis, Blood is filtered inside the body after the abdomen is filled with a special solution. By- Dt. Trishala Chopra

Overview about thyroid

Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted from various endocrine glands, which act on specific target tissues to regulate specific physiological system.

Endocrine Glands are the tissues which secrete hormones. They secrete hormones directly into the blood stream. The endocrine glands in the body are:

Pineal Gland

Pituitary Gland

Adrenal

Hypothalamus

Thyroid

Parathyroid (PTH)

Pancreas (It is endocrine as well as exocrine in nature)

Ovaries (Females)

Testes (Males)

The Thyroid Gland is one of the largest endocrine glands in the human body. Anatomically, it is found in the anterior side of the neck, below the Adam’s apple (i.e. Laryngeal Prominence) 

The Endocrine Thyroid Gland secretes 3 Hormones:

T3 i.e. Triiodothyronine

T4 i.e. Thyroxine

Calcitonin 

A Thyroid Specialist is a medical professional who deals with the Physiology & the pathology related to the Thyroid Gland.

The Functional Disorders of the Thyroid Gland are described on the basis of Over or Under Secretion of the above discussed hormones.

They are:

Hyper-Thyroidism

It is a clinical and a biochemical state caused by excess production of thyroid hormones. It is also called as Thyrotoxicosis.

Symptoms are:

Nervousness

Palpitation

Fatigue

Weight Loss

Heat Intolerance

Fine Tremors

Here’s how asthma can worsen your normal life

Person suffering from asthma can very well relate to this article! The impact of asthma is way too high on a person’s life who is suffering from it! Asthma is a condition which affects the pulmonary system. In layman terms asthma is a condition where there is difficulty in breathing because of the narrowing and inflammation of lungs. You must be thinking that how a pulmonary disorder can affect the other systems? Well, other systems are also affected which can make it difficult for you to live a normal life.

Sleep- The word is self-explanatory. Image someone holding your nose while you are asleep. Can you still sleep well? No. you would get oxygen to breathe. The same happens with the person suffering from asthma. Breathing is interrupted making it difficult for a person to have sound sleep as a result it leads to irritation throughout the day. Lack of sleep leads to insomnia which creates a lot of chaos in hormone production. Proper sleeping medications must be started if the complication is increased.

Exercise- When you exercise, you need more oxygen. You breathe heavy. This is in the case of a normal person. Imagine what will happen to a person who is suffering from asthma? Exercise is very difficult for asthma people. Lack of exercise brings in immobility which in turn leads to many cardiovascular disorders. A person suffering from asthma must be very careful about his/her medications if he is planning for exercises. An inhaler should always be kept nearby to avoid breathlessness.

These are just 2 things which are affected because of asthma. More points will be covered up in the next article. Stay tuned! By- Dt. Trishala Chopra

Diabetologist- Medical professional who provides expert management to the patients suffering from DM

The World Health Organization defines Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a heterogeneous metabolic disorder, which is characterized by a common feature of chronic hyperglycaemia (i.e. Raised Blood Sugar Levels).

A Diabetologist is a medical professional who provides expert management to the patients suffering from DM.

He/She is an UG Graduate i.e. MBBS having a Post Graduation Degree (i.e. MD) as an endocrinologist, with specialization in treatment of Diabetes Mellitus.

DM is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. 

The incidence is rising in almost all developed nations, owing to the sedentary lifestyle (i.e. Reduced Physical Activity) and obesity.

The reason of DM being of such a concern is its complications, viz:

Loss Of Sensations

Gangrene 

(In certain cases of gangrene, the last stage is amputation)

Diabetic Foot

Blindness 

A Diabetologist decides the treatment protocol, based on two factors:

Type Of DM

Age of the patient

Functionally, Diabetes Mellitus is of two types:

Type  I DM 

The Type I DM is also called as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM), because in this condition, there is a defect in the Insulin Secretion from the Beta Cells of Islets Of Endocrine Pancreas, and hence Insulin Therapy is recommended for such patients.

Because of its occurrence in the young, it was earlier called as Juvenile Onset Diabetes.

Type II DM

The Type I DM is also called as Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) as there is Normal Secretion, but poor uptake of insulin by the cells. By- Dt. Trishala Chopra
