Herbal Medicine to Prevent Kidney Disease in Philipines

Herbal Medicine for Kidney Disease

Suffering from a kidney disease, especially chronic kidney failure is very life threatening. Why not, the kidneys which are supposed to work to filter blood must be obstructed due to structural and functional disorders, as a result the blood becomes full of "waste" by the body and endangers other organs such as the brain. For that we need an alternative herbal medicine for kidney disease in order to prevent it.

Maybe you have been previously diagnosed with a problem with your kidneys. The fear of experiencing kidney failure is inevitable. It is very wise to see a doctor, but if in doubt, maybe you can try herbs with the doctor's knowledge.

Indeed, the more variety you consume, the harder the kidneys work. For that, find out first about an herb before consuming it.

Sembung leaves as a herbal medicine for those of you who experience kidney disease

Sembung leaf is a fairly good herb in kidney disease because it has diuretic properties and helps the body maintain water balance. When consumed, tea made from this plant will help reduce excess water and salt in the body, so that the kidney workload can be reduced and high blood pressure will be controlled.

High blood pressure itself can be caused due to high salt in the body and a risk of developing kidney disease. 

This sembung tea is approved by the Philippine National Kidney and Transplant Institute as a herbal remedy that has the ability to slow and prevent kidney failure.

Therefore, the National Kidney and Transplant Institute of the Philippines also recommends using sembung tea for other kidney disorders.

The steps for using sembung:

1. Take the sembung and cut it into small pieces.

2. Wash with clean water

3. Boil 50 grams of sage leaves in one liter of water

4. Leave in 10 minutes.

5. Drink hot or cold depending on personal taste

 

Prevents Kidney Disease

Ideally, in preventing disease in your kidneys, lifestyle modification is very important, such as:

• Increase physical activity (sports)
• Blood sugar control
• Consume healthy foods and drinks
• Maintain ideal body weight
• blood pressure control
• drink lots of water
• don't or quit smoking
• avoid alcohol consumption

Pay attention to your kidneys especially if you have high risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and a family history of having this disease.

The goal of kidney disease treatment is to stop or slow down the progression of the disease, and one of the most important parts is controlling hypertension or high blood pressure as I mentioned above.

It is important to know further that in Indonesia, there are not many studies that support the effectiveness of sembung. So, make an appointment with a doctor.
