Our kidneys play a vital role in filtering blood, removing waste, and balancing fluids. However, modern lifestylesβpoor diet, dehydration, long sitting hours, and excessive medicationβcan silently harm kidney health. Often, people donβt notice the damage until itβs serious.
Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Using a natural, holistic approach, it restores kidney function by balancing the bodyβs energiesβVata, Pitta, and Kapha.
How Ayurveda Supports Kidney Health
Ayurveda connects kidney health with the urinary system (Mutravaha Srotas) and emphasizes that digestive health, lifestyle, and internal cleanliness are all interlinked with kidney function.
