We at Dr. Dassan’s Ayurveda, focus on reducing the inflammation of glomeruli thus preventing the leakage of protein through the vessels. Cooling and soothing herbs included in mutravirajniya category (herbs to restore natural urine colour and texture) are used to treat inflammation. Additionally, we focus on providing nourishment to the nephrons and regulating renal filtration with the help of ayurvedic medicines that have diuretic as well as nutritive properties. Once we counter the inflammation, the required amount of protein is restored in the blood thereby reducing the swelling and improving the malnourishment of the patient.
Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to pass too much protein in your urine as a result of damage to the glomerulus (clusters of blood vessels in the kidney). In ayurveda, it is correlated with disorders of mutra vaha srotas which are the urine carrying channels.
According to ayurveda, nephrotic syndrome results from a disturbance in the urinary channels which are the mutra vaha srotas. Pitta aggravation is considered to be the main factor that causes glomerular inflammation which results in leakage of ojas component (albumin) through the urine.
