REVIVING RENAL FUNCTION THROUGH PUNARNAVADI KASHAYA BASTI - A NOTEWORTHY REDUCTION IN BUN (BLOOD UREA NITROGEN) & SERUM CREATININE

Abstract

CKD has become a common disease with a high Prevalence rate nowadays in Diabetic & Hypertensive people, with dialysis and renal transplant as its mainstream of treatment. But due to low financial backgrounds among large percentage of individuals in India, everyone cannot afford to live a good quality of life. Hence, every individual is not a candidate for renal transplant or dialysis. So, to overcome this issue, an alternate has to be taken keeping in mind a healthy life which is the need of hour. Ayurveda provides a comprehensive alternative,2 emphasizing dietary and lifestyle interventions alongside the therapeutic potential of ayurvedic formulations and bio-balancing therapies. This study reflects the case of a 74-year-old male with CKD, Hypertension & DM2, who had symptoms such as facial puffiness, pedal edema, constipation and generalized weakness since 4 months. Following Ayurvedic treatment, the patient reported significant symptomatic relief. Laboratory investigations revealed a notable reduction in serum urea and creatinine levels, further affirming the effectiveness of the intervention. This case underscores the potential of Ayurvedic management as a holistic, safe, and efficacious approach for CKD, offering promising avenues for integrated healthcare.
