Introduction


The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering toxins, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating blood pressure. However, modern lifestyles, processed foods, and environmental toxins have led to a surge in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), kidney cancer, kidney stones, and other renal issues. While modern medicine provides treatments like dialysis, transplantation, and targeted therapies, Ayurveda and Tantra Shastra offer time-tested natural approaches to preventing and managing kidney diseases holistically.

Understanding Kidney Disorders


1. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

A progressive loss of kidney function often caused by diabetes, hypertension, or genetic factors.

2. Kidney Cancer

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type, often linked to smoking, obesity, and genetic predisposition.

3. Kidney Stones

Hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys due to dehydration, high oxalate foods, and poor digestion.

4. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

A sudden decline in kidney function due to infections, toxins, or severe dehydration.

5. Dialysis Dependency

A treatment for kidney failure where artificial filtering removes waste from the blood.
