Chinese herbal medicine includes diverse forms, such as herbs, animal parts and minerals. Amongst them, natural herbs are the most resource. In the development of Chinese herbal medicines, the prescriptions play an important role in treatment of polycystic kidneys. With clinical experience accumulating, the prescriptions has been tested and refined. After more 2500 years, Chinese herbal formulas have developed into a complete system for specific disorders, including Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Generally speaking, therapists make prescriptions with the combinations of herbs instead of individual herb. A single herb may only contain limited effects in limited aspects while the herbal combinations can address a full range of balance and effects.
When pharmacists prescript for patients with polycystic kidneys, they will take patient’s illness condition as a basis. A right prescription for PKD is expected to achieve the goal of eliminating symptoms, shrinking kidney cysts, repairing impaired kidneys, offsetting side effects. In order to achieve the four goals, the prescriptions should be refined and adjusted according to patient’s condition changes. Even though you just treat polycystic kidneys, you may get a dozen of more prescriptions during the treatment.
After a period of Chinese herbs therapy, you are expected to experience:
● Renal cysts shrink little by little and the small cysts may disappear.
● Flank pain, backache and abdominal pain alleviates spontaneously. As renal cysts become smaller, their pressure to kidneys and surrounding tissues will reduce, thus the relative pains and symptoms will disappear accordingly.
● Kidney functions get improvement. On one hand, shrinked cysts cause less damages to kidneys. On the other hand, some herbs have the functions of nourishing impaired kidneys.
By far, there are many performance forms of Chinese herbal medicine, such as loose herbs, pills, tinctures, powders and external applications. External application is considered as the safest way, for it won’t affect your internal organs. Meantime, it can take effects in kidney lesions directly when medicine ingredients permeate into kidneys. More information, please send mail to kidneyask@hotmail.com.
