Regrow Your Kidneys and Strengthen Their Function With Herbs - The Epoch Times

Yuen Oi-lin, a registered Chinese medicine practitioner in Hong Kong, said that she had cases of patients suffering from kidney atrophy after taking painkillers.

Then, after a few days’ break, the patient began taking Chinese medicine prescribed by Dr.

The active ingredients in Panax notoginseng can delay the deterioration of chronic kidney disease by improving intestinal flora.

Yuen said that TCM treatment for renal atrophy will aim to invigorate the kidney while also nourishing the liver and spleen.

Yuen once had a patient whose renal function was at 10 percent of normal function.  After acupuncture and taking Chinese medicine, renal function increased to 30 percent, and dialysis was no longer necessary.

One Taiwanese study showed that Chinese herbal medicine prolonged the survival rate of patients with chronic kidney disease.

The researchers analyzed the data of 14,718 patients with chronic kidney disease, of which 6,958 took Chinese herbal medicine and 7,760 did not.

The most used Chinese herb for chronic kidney disease patients in Taiwan is Salvia miltiorrhiza.

The efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic kidney disease has also been confirmed by many medical researchers. Studies have found that acupuncture can improve kidney function, reduce proteinuria, control high blood pressure, relieve pain and itching, and improve insomnia and fatigue.
