OVERVIEW
The kidneys are bean shaped organ placed in lower abdominal area in the body. A cavity attached to the indented side of the kidney is called renal capsule which protects the kidneys against trauma and infections.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) indicates that the kidneys are damaged. With CKD, the kidneys may still be working partially, but they’re not working as well as they should.

AYURVEDIC VIEW
The term Ayurveda means science of life. It is an Indian holistic medicinal system which balances body, mind and soul. The main aim of Ayurveda is to cleanse the body of toxins, re-establish the harmony and balance for optimal health.
As per Ayurveda, kidneys are the roots of medovaha srotas (fat tissue) and comprised of rakta and meda dhatu. Balancing these two dhatus will have positive effects on kidneys since diseases arising out of these dhatus (tissues) can affect kidneys and cause their failure.
According to Ayurveda renal failure is caused by the blockage of minute body channels called srotas. The body channels known as mutravaha srotas, carry urine and are responsible for the flow of liquid into and out of the kidneys. If there are blockages in the incoming srotas the kidneys are denied fluids and shrinkage occurs and if the outgoing channels are blocked, swelling occurs.
