Homeopathic Treatment of Kidney Failure: In this article, we will understand how the case of Kidney Failure was cured with homeopathy medicines.

A 54-year-old patient presented with Kidney Failure, exhibiting a serum creatinine level of 8.64 and a blood urea level of 93. Despite undergoing allopathic treatment, the patient experienced no relief, and there was no improvement in the creatinine levels.

When asked he said:-

There is a reduction in urine output, diminished appetite, facial and leg swelling, nausea, headaches, persistent weight loss, and increased irritability due to the illness. The patient experienced a lack of sweating, constipation, maintained normal thirst levels, evident blood deficiency, and noticeable swelling on the face and legs. The individual expressed a preference for solitude when feeling better, noted decreased urine production, and mentioned increased difficulty urinating when observed by others.

Now, let’s explore the patient’s symptoms from a homeopathic perspective. We can start by identifying the first clear and reliable symptom, often referred to as an anchor. This symptom serves as a grounding point, preventing us from getting lost in the haze of numerous other symptoms.

A crucial observation was the patient’s inclination to cry privately and the reluctance to urinate in the presence of others. Now, our task is to establish connections among these symptoms and find a suitable remedy by comprehensive analysis.

The individual experiences depression, irritability, and a preference for solitary crying episodes – the most suitable remedy for these symptoms is Natrum Mur.

When inquired, he mentioned that receiving consolation when he’s crying makes him angry – this symptom is present in both Natrum Mur and Ignatia.

Additional symptoms comprise a headache described as if someone is striking with a hammer – this manifestation is found in various medications, including Natrum Mur, Sulphur, Belladonna, Ferrum met, Lachesis, and Coffea cruda.

Anemia, fatigue after minimal exertion, irritability, and getting angry over trivial matters – these indications are observed in several medications, such as Natrum Mur, Arsenic, Calcarea, Lachesis, etc.

After analyzing the symptoms, it becomes evident that Natrum Mur encompasses all aspects of the patient, including mental and physical symptoms.

Advised to take a single dose of Natrum mur 1000 along with 2 drops of Saccharum Lactis twice daily.

I’d like to share information about Saccharum Lactis, emphasizing its effectiveness as a diuretic medicine, particularly in cases of kidney disease and kidney failure. Despite its significance among kidney medicines, it is often overlooked by many homeopaths.

After a month of medication, the patient experienced notable improvements. Symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting decreased, and there was an increase in urine output coupled with a reduction in swelling. Additionally, the patient’s appetite gradually began to improve.

Within a span of 3 months, his creatinine level dropped from 8.64 to 2.6, and the blood urea level decreased from 93 to 39.

This instance demonstrates the effective treatment of kidney failure patients using homeopathy.

In both cases, drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily may flush out the stones.
