Many people take Chinese herbs for their PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), for
there is no specific solution available in western medicine. And some special
herbs mixture not only shows its effects in shrinking and control renal cysts,
but also in nourishing and improving renal functions.
As the prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine depend on individual state,
so a right diagnosis before taking herbs is very import. Which kind of herbs you
need and how much the dosage will be, totally result from the diagnosis of
Chinese herbal therapists. Thereby, different individuals will get different
prescriptions. Meantime, as patient’s condition turn good or bad, the
prescriptions will add or take away, increase or reduce different herbs.
Many people take Chinese herbs, particularly the tonic ones, without properly
understanding whether they are suitable for their condition or constitution. It
is also common for the diagnosis to change as the physiology moves toward a
state of greater balance. The herbal prescription is then adjusted
accordingly.
Right diagnosis mainly should acknowledge the following condition
clearly.
●What disease the patient suffer from? Many people confuse with PKD and cyst
on kidneys. For the two diseases are very different in many aspects, it is
important to identify which disease you have.
● Illness condition of patient, including the symptoms, such as flank pain,
back pain; and complications, such as high blood pressure, kidney stone etc.
● The severity of renal cysts, symptoms and complication. Whether patients
have stepped in renal failure. How mach renal function is left. All of these are
the basis for therapists to make a proper prescription of PKD.
Most herbs have a gentle effect on the body, but their indiscriminate use
over a long period of time, or even a short period in certain cases, may cause
side effects. Such side effects rarely occur if the proper diagnosis has been
obtained. If you need help, please mail to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com
