Benefits of Using Ashwagandha:-  Ayurveda, 5000-year-old science, has an answer for every ailment of the body. The point is we are not aware of it. Nature is loaded with herbs which has so much potential to maintain body health and treat diseases.

It has a remarkable effect on renewing body energy levels. Ashwagandha is one of those herbs which is termed as Rasayana & can be taken for a long duration without any negative side effects.

Today we call ourselves modern and westernized. But in doing so, we have also ruined our lifestyle. One of the major drawbacks of today’s lifestyle is “Stress”. Stress is a state of emotional or mental strain or tension, which can lead to underperformance and adverse clinical conditions. Adaptogens are herbs that help in combating stress.

If a person is under prolonged stress then it will affect the mental and physical state of an individual, & that’s how illnesses like depression, high BP, Heart Disorders, infertility, and metabolic disorders start invading the body. Such conditions, rooted in mental or emotional factors, are rapidly increasing in prevalence and emerging as major global diseases. To uproot this we need medical help which will involve usage of anti-stress medicine which comes with a series of side effects and mostly habit-forming.

Ashwagandha instead is a safe, effective & proven way to combat stress. Ayurvedic classical texts & Research studies describe Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) as safe, effective & adaptogen.

In another study, the therapeutic Value of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), as attributed in Ayurveda for the treatment of oligospermia was proved which suggests Ashwagandha is an herb which also helps to increase sperm count.

A study published in the Internal Journal of Sports and Nutrition, suggests Ashwagandha is helpful in a significant increase in muscle mass and strength. So, it can be supplemented in conjunction with a resistance training program for sportspersons and professional players.

In another study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements, 1-14. Chicago Ashwagandha was found to be effective in the enhancement of both immediate and basic memory in people with MCI as well as improves executive function, attention and information processing speed. It is neuroprotective in nature.

It was found that Ashwagandha may be beneficial for normalizing thyroid indices in subclinical hypothyroid patients.

In research, Ashwagandha was shown to possess antioxidant activity. It was also found that Ashwagandha increases the body’s own Superoxide dismutase, an enzyme which is a free radical scavenger, which in turn increases energy levels of the body.

Anti- Cancer Activity possessed by Ashwagandha

In various human and animal research studies, there is a lot of evidence for the use of Ashwagandha as an anti-cancer herb.

Ashwagandha has been proven a protective, curative and palliatative among these following types of cancers.

• Breast
• Central Nervous System (CNS)
• Colon
• Leukemia
• Lung
• Melanoma
• Prostate
• Sarcoma

How Ashwagandha Helps to Cure Cancer:

• Antioxidant protection of all normal cells against cancer.
• Research proves it to be a Pro-oxidant attack against cancer cells.
• It also enhances the effects of chemotherapy and radiation against cancer cells.
• It also protects normal cells against damage caused by conventional cancer therapy.
• It also effectively stops the growth of treatment-resistant cancer cell lines.
• Most importantly it Stops angiogenesis—the creation of those new blood vessels that feed cancer cells and helps it grow and spread it to various organs and organs vessels.
• Research proves that Ashwagandha binds to and blocks proteins that cancers need to grow.
• It Stimulates proteins that help keep normal cells stable & healthy. It rejuvenates tissues.
• Ashwagandha contains 17 constituents, research proved 10 of them possess anticancer activity against four different types of cancer cell lines (lung, colon, breast, and CNS). The potency of the anti-cancerous effect depends on the dosage of the constituent. Research has proved that Withaferin A, a constituent of ashwagandha, has the strongest effect against lung, colon, breast & CNS -all the four types of cancer. The effect is even more effective than the chemotherapy drug Adriamycin against the breast and colon cancer lines.
• In another study, it was found that Ashwagandha enhances the effects of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy on cancer cells, while simultaneously protecting healthier cells from negative side effects of these therapies. For instance, in a study involving mice with fibrosarcoma and treatment-resistant melanoma tumors, Ashwagandha extract increased the effectiveness of radiation in killing cancer cells by sensitizing them.
• While Ashwagandha provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress produced by tumor/cancer cells and some conventional treatments (like chemo and radio), it, in fact, increases the susceptibility of cancer tumor cells to oxidative damage from free radicals.
• As we all Know pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and deadliest types of all cancers, studies indicate that one steroidal withaferin A stimulates cell death in a number of pancreatic malignancies cell lines. Withaferin A also appears to target and limit the activity of a specific protein (Hsp90) that binds with and helps other proteins mature that then stimulate and promote the growth and survival of cancer cells. Lab and animal research (using grafted human pancreatic tumors) shows that it blocks Hsp90's cancer-promoting activity in at least four different ways. This makes withaferin A different than other known Hsp90 inhibitors and may explain its potency against pancreatic tumors.
• Water concentrates of Ashwagandha leaves, which likewise contain withaferin A, may offer a treatment choice for another especially lethal disease—glioma(a type of brain tumor). A standout amongst the most pervasive sorts of cerebrum tumors, there are a couple of traditional treatment alternatives for this forceful and intrusive cancer.
• Lab researches demonstrate that Ashwagandha obstructs the development and metastatic capability of glioma tumors and at high dosage kills the tumor cells. Ashwagandha fortifies Hsp70, a warmth stun protein called mortalin. Elevated amounts of this protein are found in mind cell mitochondria that manage mitochondria and typical cell working, while broken mitochondria are related to the disease. Ashwagandha additionally seemed to fortify the creation of two different proteins that assist control the development and spread of glioma tumor cells.

The Ashwagandha Capsule delivered by Ayurveda24 (Advanceayurveda) contains the Withaferin –A which is good for cancer patients.

kidney Failure Treatment - (Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Risk factors and Treatment)

It stands for END STAGE RENAL DISEASE.

Abnormal functioning of kidney causes ESRD.

Causes

ESRD occurs when kidney is not in state of proper functioning and life depends on dialysis and transplant. This type of kidney failure is permanent. It can’t be fixed. Diabetes and Hypertension are main causes of ESRD. Other reasons of ESRD are some reactions to medicines, injuries and some are born with us. Dialysis or a kidney transplant t is necessary to live in ESRD.

Symptoms

Ø             Weakness

Ø             Heaviness on head

Ø             Decreased amount of urination

Ø             Vomiting

Ø             Loss of weight

Ø             Tiredness

Ø             Pain in bones

Ø             Disturbance in menstrual periods

Ø             Change in colour of skin

Ø             Changes in nail

Ø             Swelling of the hands & feet

Ø             Numbness in the hands & feet

Diagnosis

Urine & blood test should be done in ESRD. These tests measure levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in the urine and blood.

Blood test: Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (e GFR) is for creatinine.

GFR is the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidneys from the renal glomerular capillaries into the Bowman’s capsule / unit time.

If estimated GFR is less than 15 then it is considered to be ESRD.

Risk factors

The persons who are suffering from following are at the high risk of ESRD:

Ø             Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Ø             Injury or trauma to the kidneys

Ø             Major blood loss

Complications

Different complications are associated with kidney disease that sometimes contribute to worsen the condition of the patient.

Ø             Swelling

Ø             Hypertension

Ø             Infertility

Ø             High risk of infection

Ø             Rise in level of potassium

Difference between CKD & ESRD

CKD occurs when there is permanent damage to the kidney. Kidney may still work well enough for patient to live, even if they have some damage.

CKD can lead to kidney failure (ESRD) when functioning of both the kidney get worse. In ESRD the kidney do not work well enough for you to live.

 Can ESRD be reversed?

In ESRD, nephrons are damaged in large number which leads to low kidney function. The damaged part of kidney is able to be repaired with the help of right treatment.

How can ESRD be reversed?

In modern medicines, there are 2 choices for patients with ESRD i.e. Dialysis & Kidney transplant.

There are different Alternative Treatment options available. Ayurveda  provides an alternative of dialysis & kidney transplant. In Ayurvedic  kidney treatment, patient’s kidney disease is controlled by herbal medicine, diet plan & lifestyle.

Ayurveda helps to recover the kidney from ESRD. There are many herbs which repair the renal parenchyma & stop further damage of kidney. Due to this, kidney will slowly and gradually start its functioning as before. Ayurvedic medicine also decrease the level of urea & creatinine.

Glomerular filteration rate decreases because of ESRD which results in the accumulation of excess water, salt & toxic products in the body. Ayurvedic herbs also help to eliminate these toxins from the body.

Ayurvedic treatment for kidney failure  just not works to suppress the symptoms as allopathic treatment. It works to eliminate the root cause of disease. It helps to treat hypertension & diabetes which are major cause of ESRD. Natural herbs which are used to prepare ayurvedic medicine has best properties to overcome the bad effects of disease & to treat the disease. These all facts are scientifically proven.

Some ayurvedic herbs which help to treat ESRD are Crataeva nurvela, Boerhaavia diffusa & Tribulus terrestris).

Prevention from ESRD

ESRD is not preventable in some patients. The leading cause of CKD is Diabetes and Hypertension. By controlling these 2 factors kidney can be prevented from ESRD.

Kidneys can be protected by following these healthy habits:

Ø             Have regular checkups with doctor.

Ø             Eat a low fat, low salt diet.

Ø             Exercise regularly.

Ø             Avoid tobacco.

Ø             Drink alcohol only in moderation.

Toxic Foods To Avoid In Kidney Failure or How to reduce creatinine

Ayurvedic Treatment For Kidney Failure

The tips can be used with any type of kidney disease to reduce the stress on renal organs and slow down the disease progress.

What kind of changes do I need to make on a renal failure diet?

We have to limit the amount of protein

This directly helps to decrease waste in your blood.

Foods that are high in protein are poultry (chicken and turkey), meat, eggs, fish, and dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt).

Kidney patients should limit the amount of phosphorus, Kidneys cannot get rid of extra phosphorus that builds up in your blood. This may cause bones to lose calcium and weaken as high phosphorous leads to less absorption.

Foods rich in phosphorus are beans, nuts, dairy products, peas, and whole grains. Phosphorus is also found in cocoa, beer, and cola drinks.

Kidney patients should limit sodium content in daily food items.

If you have high blood pressure or extra fluid in your body.

Kidney patients need to reduce their sodium(Na) intake to 1500 mg every day.

Canned foods, salted snacks, Table salt, soups, and processed meats, like sausage & deli meats are rich in sodium content.

Kidney patients have to Limit potassium content in food as well.

Potassium is found in all fruits and vegetables. Patients should limit fruits and vegetables that are high in potassium LIKE POMEGRANATE BANANA, GUAVA, ORANGE.

Limit the number of liquids or water intake should be restricted to all kidney patients especially who are on stage 5.

If your body retains fluids, you will have swelling and fluid may build up in your lungs. This can cause other health problems, such as shortness of breath or breathlessness.

Stages of Kidney Failure

With chronic kidney disease, the kidneys don’t usually fail all at once. Instead, kidney disease often progresses slowly over a period of years.

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) created a guideline to help doctors identify each level of kidney disease. The NKF divided kidney disease into five stages.

Where you are placed into CKD stage 3 or higher, it usually depends on an estimate of kidney function.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best measure of kidney function. A math formula using the person’s age, race, gender, and serum creatinine is used to calculate a GFR. A doctor will order a blood test to measure the serum creatinine level. As kidney function slows, blood levels of creatinine rise.

Even with a normal GFR, you may be at increased risk for developing CKD if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease. The risk increases with age: People over 65 are more than twice as likely to develop CKD as people between the ages of 45 and 65. Stage of Chronic Kidney Disease. eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) ml/min/1.73 m Stage 1: the eGFR shows normal kidney function but you are already known to have some kidney damage or disease. For example, you may have some protein or blood in your urine, an abnormality of your kidney, kidney inflammation, etc. The goals of treatment are to slow the progression of CKD and reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel disease.

90 or more Stage 2: Mildly reduced kidney function AND you are already known to have some kidney Damage or Disease. Continue treatment to reduce the risk of other health problems.

60 to 89

Stage 3: Moderately reduced kidney function. (With or without known kidney disease.) Anemia and bone problems become more common. Work to prevent or treat these complications.

45 to 59 (3A)

30 to 44 (3B) Stage 4: Severely reduced kidney function. (With or without known kidney disease.) Continue following the treatment for complications of CKD. p style="text-align: justify;">15 to 29 Stage 5: Very severely reduced kidney function. This is sometimes called end-stage kidney failure or established renal failure.

Less than 15 or On Dialysis * All GFR values are normalized to an average surface area (size) of 1.73m2 Suffixes: p suffix: the addition of p to a stage (e.g. 3Ap, 4p) means that there is significant proteinuria (more info) T - the addition of T to a stage (e.g. 3AT) indicates that the patient has a renal transplant. D - the addition of D to stage 5 CKD (e.g. 5D) indicates that the patient is on dialysis

Stage

Allopathic Treatment for Kidney Failure

Alternative Treatment (Ayurveda) for Kidney Failure

1. Steroids, Suppresses Symptoms, Doesn’t Control Progression, Complications like Heart, Bone problems Curable with Ayurveda, Disease removed from roots, No side effects, Control Complications

2. Steroids, Suppresses Symptoms, Doesn’t Control Progression, Complications like Heart, Bone problems, Other Side effects Curable with Ayurveda, Disease removed from roots, Control Complications, No side effects

3. Steroids, Suppresses Symptoms, Doesn’t Control Progression, Complications like Heart, Bone problems, Side effects like Puffiness on the face. 90% Curable, Controlling the progression of the disease, Control Complications.

4. Dialysis, May ask for Transplant 90% Curable With controlling the progression of the disease, Stop Dialysis, No need for Transplant

5. Dialysis, Transplant 80% Curable, Manageable With Controlling Progression of disease, Stop Dialysis, No need for Transplant

My stage keeps changing: It is normal for measurements of creatinine and therefore GFR to change a bit from one measurement to the next. In some patients, these changes may seem large, and enough to move you from one stage to another and then back again. As long as things aren't getting progressively worse, it is the average that is important.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Taking Care of Your Heart Following A Simple Lifestyle And Paying Little Attention To Diet Can Help You Maintain Healthy Condition Of Your Heart.

1. According to Ayurveda, Ama is the main cause of heart disease. Ama is a toxic material that is produced by undigested food. Therefore, one must make sure that one eats only that amount of specific food(According to one’s Prakriti) and type of foods that can digest properly.
2. Avoid over-eating and eating frequently. Chew your food properly.
3. Milk products, fried foods, cold foods, and acidic foods should be taken in small quantities. White flour products and foods that contain chemical preservatives and additives should be avoided.
4. Animal products, especially red meat, are not good as they take a long time to be digested, and create a lot of toxins in the stomach.
5. Seasonal fruits and fresh vegetables (steamed or cooked), wholemeal bread or chapatti, salad, sprouts, vegetable soup, buttermilk, cottage cheese (paneer), a little quantity of fresh milk and ghee (clarified butter) make up an ideal list of food items to choose from.
6. Anything sweet should be taken in moderation. Honey and jaggery are healthier than purified sugar.
7. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is very beneficial for the heart. It can be taken fresh, preserved or in powder form.
8. Stress is the major culprit behind these diseases. Practice yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) regularly to reduce stress levels. Also, meditation has been scientifically proven to prevent as well as cure heart diseases.
9. A gentle head massage with or without oil several times a week is very beneficial. A full-body self-massage with oil once a week is also good.
10. Too much tea, coffee, alcohol, and smoking is not good for the heart and should be given up. They weaken the liver and digestive power, and so form ama.
11. Drinking water kept overnight in a copper pot strengthens the heart.
12. A herb that has been scientifically proven to prevent and cure heart diseases is Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna). It can be taken in powder form or the bark of the tree can be boiled to make tea.
13. Rudraksha (a fruit) has a beneficial effect on the heart. These seeds can be strung together and worn in the form of a necklace, or the seeds may be soaked in water overnight and the water should be taken early in the morning.
14. Obesity, another reason for heart disorders, must be controlled by physical exercise and diet management. One should aim for a healthy weight.
15. Diabetes is one of the culprits behind heart diseases. So it needs to be managed with diet and medicine.
16. Alcohol consumption should be limited.

Tips for Making A Healthy Heart.

1. Soak ¼ to ½ teaspoon of dalchini powder in water overnight. Drink it in the morning empty regularly. Following it regularly can stop heart blockages & unclog arteries.
2. Take ½ to 1 walnut (soaked overnight) regularly empty stomach, this strengthens the muscles of heart which pump blood to the whole of your body without taking any rest.
3. Arjuna, muscle protector herb, should be taken daily. It can be given in milk or water daily empty stomach. Arjuna Capsules are also available. See our video on ARJUNA

Polycystic Kidney Disease

PKD is an inherited kidney disorder. It causes fluid-filled cysts to form in the kidneys. PKD may impair kidney function and cause kidney failure.

PKD is generally inherited. Less commonly, it develops in patients who have other serious kidney problems.

There are three types of PKD.

Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD)

According to UCM, ADPKD accounts for about 90 percent of PKD cases. This form of the disease is passed from parent to child by dominant inheritance. In other words, only one copy of the abnormal gene is needed to cause the disease. If one parent has the disorder, the chance of passing it down to their child is 50 percent (UCM, 2012). ADPKD is sometimes called adult PKD. Symptoms usually develop later in life, between the ages of 30 and 40. However, symptoms can start in childhood.

Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD)

It is also inherited. However, both parents must carry the gene for the disease. This form of the disease is passed from parent to child by recessive inheritance. Symptoms can begin in the earliest months of life, even in the womb. It tends to be very serious, progresses rapidly, and is often fatal in the first few months of life. This form of ARPKD is extremely rare. It occurs in 1 out of 25,000 people.

There are four types of ARPKD:

• perinatal form (the disorder is present at birth)
• neonatal form (the disorder occurs within the first month of life)
• infantile form (the disorder occurs when the child is 3 to 6 months old)
• a juvenile form (the disorder occurs after the child is 1 year old)

Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease (ACKD)

ACKD is not inherited. It usually develops in patients who already have other kidney problems. It is more common in those who have kidney failure or are on dialysis. ACKD usually occurs later in life.

ACKD can happen in kidneys with long-term damage and severe scarring, so it is often associated with kidney failure and dialysis. About 90 percent of people on dialysis for 5 years develop ACKD. People with ACKD usually seek help because they notice blood in their urine. This is because the cysts bleed into the urinary system, which discolors urine.

What Are the Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease?

The main symptoms of PKD include:

• pain or tenderness in the abdomen
• blood in the urine
• frequent urination
• pain in the sides
• urinary tract infection (UTI)
• kidney stones
• high blood pressure

Sometimes There Is No Symptom At All. Only A Simple Ultrasound Tells You To Have Cystic Kidneys.

Diagnosis

PKD is an inherited disorder.

Review family history. Initial test:

• a complete blood count (CBC) looking for anemia or signs of infection
• a urinalysis looking for blood and/or protein

Imaging tests used to diagnose PKD include:

• abdominal ultrasound: the most useful, non-invasive study using sound waves to look for cysts
• abdominal CT scan: can detect smaller cysts in the kidney; uses X-rays to build a cross-section of your abdomen
• abdominal MRI scan: uses strong magnets to image your body to visualize kidney structure and look for cysts
• intravenous pyelogram (IVP): uses a dye to make your blood vessels show up more clearly on an X-ray

Treatment

The goal of PKD treatment is to manage symptoms.

• pain medication
• blood pressure medication
• antibiotics (to treat UTI)
• a low-sodium (salt) diet
• diuretics (to help remove excess fluid)
• surgery (to drain cysts and help relieve discomfort)

With advanced PKD, dialysis and kidney transplant may be necessary. One or both of the kidneys may need to be removed.

Ayurvedic treatment for PKD is very useful in providing symptomatic relief.  Ayurvedic formulations have no side effects like Allopathic medicine. Also, Ayurvedic medicines can maintain blood pressure & maintain urine flow to reduce future complications like ascites.

What Other Organs Besides The Kidney Are Affected By PKD?

PKD can affect other organs besides the kidney. People with PKD may have cysts in their liver, pancreas, spleen, ovaries, and large bowel. PKD can also affect the brain or heart.

Other Complications

• anemia (insufficient red blood cells)
• bleeding or bursting of cysts
• high blood pressure
• kidney stones
• recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• cardiovascular disease- mitral valve prolapse
• brain aneurysms
• diverticula (pouches or pockets in the wall of the colon)
• cataracts or blindness
• liver disease

Does Everyone With PKD Develop Kidney Failure?

No. About 50 percent of people with PKD will have kidney failure by age 60, and about 60 percent will have kidney failure by age 70. Certain people have an increased risk of kidney failure including:

• men
• patients with high blood pressure
• patients with protein or blood in their urine
• women with high blood pressure who have had more than three pregnancies

Prognosis

In most people, PKD slowly gets worse over time. It may lead to liver disease. Eventually, the disease ends in kidney failure.

Proper medical care can relieve PKD symptoms for years, managing it with Ayurveda can help.

Talk to a genetic counselor if you have a family history of PKD and are planning to have children.

Can Ayurveda HELP TO GET RID OF CYSTS?

 

Yes, there is an old saying “Where there is a WILL, there is a WAY”. We will say – If you have will, We will show you the WAY.

The Ayurvedic Treatment For PKD Will Have The Following Medicines:

1. Loknath Rasa
2. Kanchnar guggul
3. Vijaysar
