Scope of Homoeopathy in case of kidney disease

 

Homoeopathic treatment can further halt the disease progress by giving medicines at the dispositional level (after understanding the person as a whole –understanding what factors would have lead to the disease in concordance with his personality ) so that the body’s own kidney is stimulated to carry out the function and make the person free of dialysis.

 

If the patient has come at the early stage of renal failure where the damage to the kidney tissues is minimal then Homoeopathy can revert back the kidney to its normal stage. Then Homoeopathy can improve the general wellbeing of the patient and his quality of life.
