Nephrolithiasis and Nature Cure

Urinary and reproductive systems are two completely independent system. Though, some activities of both are carried out through one organ. So the diseases of this one organ may affect both the systems. Nephrolithiasis or kidney stones, one of the most painful of the urologic disorders, have beset humans for centuries. Scientists have found evidence of kidney stones in a 7,000-year-old Egyptian mummy. Unfortunately, kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. Each year, people make almost 3 million visits to health care providers and more than half a million people go to emergency rooms for kidney stone problems.

Tantric science associated these systems with the water element. At Pranic level these are associated with apan vayu. At the extrasensory level, it is believed that their control is associated with the swadhishthan chakra. According to Yoga the swadhislshthan chakra is located at the back in the lumber region. Whenever there is some disorder in water element or apan vayu or swadhisthan chakra these systems contract diseases.

The problem of kidney stones arises when very minute particles in urine slowly begin to accumulate within the kidney. Normally, these minute particles are expelled with the urine in dissolved state. However, due to some disturbance in body metabolish, or due to unbalanced diet or due to excessive stress, these particles begin to accumulate in the form of small or big stones. Usually these stones keep lying inside the kineys quietly without any symptoms. But sometimes they descend down with urine into the urinary tubes (ureters) and get stuck. They bruise the soft tissues of these tubes which results in. the symptoms of unbearable pain, in flammation and blood in the urine.

The sinuses consist of cavities or chambers contained in the bones situated in the head and face region. The frontal, maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sin uses are the paranasal sinuses which communicate with the nose. The frontal sinuses lie on the frontal bone directly above the eyes. The maxillary sinuses are located one on each side of the nose under the cheekbone. The ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are situated behind the nose or either side of it.

Cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver slowly deteriorates and malfunctiond due to chronic injury. Liver is the only organ in the body that is able to regenerate but in Cirrhosis, the damaging agent such as virus, drug, alcohol, etc, continues to attack the liver and prevents complete regeneration thereby replacing normal, healthy liver tissu to scar tissue. The development  of cirrhosis indicates late stage liver disease and is usually followed by the onset of complications.

Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, wight loss, abdominal pain and bloating, itching, and spiderlike blood vessels on the skin. On deterioration of liver function, complications develop. In your case it is evident that it is an after effect of the drug you have taken.

The goals of Naturopathic treatment are to stop the progression of scar tissue in the liver and prevent or treat complications.
