In Allopathic therapeutic system the thinking is that renal tissue once damaged cannot be regenerated. The whole approach of allopathic medication is aimed at improving physical and mental Quality of patient’s life. Medication is also given if the patient is suffering from diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension etc. Although these medications do help to check control on other diseases, they are unable to improve the deteriorating renal function.

Most of the patients suffering from chronic renal failure eventually need hemodialysis, as the damage to the kidneys are more profound by each passing day.

Ayurvedic view in the pathogenesis of renal disease is that, urine originates from large intestines and is filtered by Kidneys. The composition and formation of urine takes place in large intestines and is carried to the kidneys for excretion. This shows that the large intestine should have strong influence on composition of urine.

So according to Ayurvedic view, keeping the large intestines healthy is one of the major aspects in treating renal diseases and improving renal functions.

In order to improve the health of large intestines Ayurveda advocates Basti Chikitsa. In Basti therapy we administer medicated ghee, oil and decoctions per rectum. Basti is known to enhance faster relief for renal failure patients and overall physical quality of life of the patient improves considerably.

We have also researched for last 3 years on a particular herbal preparation under an eminent Nephrologist Dr.B.R.Ramesh Rao in Mumbai and the results in Chronic Renal Failure patients have been very encouraging. The overall physical and mental quality of patient’s life improved considerably showing overall improvement in the health status.

So along with modem Allopathic medication if & can administer Basti therapy and the herbal tablets, we expect that the physical and mental quality of patient’s life will improve, which will help the patient to fight against the chronic disease more positively.

We have undertaken this project in Pune, India, under the guidance of senior Allopathic and Ayurvedic physicians.
