- Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): Supports kidney function and helps in managing urinary disorders.
- Yavakshar (Barley ash): Traditionally used to aid kidney function and alleviate urinary problems.
- Kalonji (Nigella sativa): Known for its anti-inflammatory and kidney-protective properties.
Ayurvedic Medicine:
- Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): Known for its diuretic and kidney-supportive effects.
- Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): Similar to Unani, it’s used to support kidney function and manage urinary issues.
- Coriander (Coriandrum sativum): Helps in flushing out toxins and supporting kidney health.
- Nimba (Azadirachta indica): Offers detoxification benefits and supports kidney function.
Both systems emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, hydration, and avoiding excess salt and protein to maintain kidney health. It’s always best to consult with our healthcare provider or qualified practitioner before starting any new treatment regimen.
