A: According to traditional Tibetan medical system there is a treatment for renal failure. The treatment method is taking Tibetan herbal pills, dietary and behavior regimens and adjunct therapy. Some of the general Tibetan Herbal remedies or pills are Aru 10+Kyungnga, Sugmel 10, Aru 18, Basam sMenmar, Samkyung, Samnor and Guyu 28. To take this pills I recommend you to see a Traditional Tibetan Medicine doctor to study the cause of the problem. The doctor will also have to see whether the problem is a hot or cold related problem or which of the three constituent energy, rLung, Tripa or Badkan, is dominant or imbalanced.

Dietary recommendation would be intake of less water element dominant foods like potato, egg plant, rice, chocolate, bell pepper, pork, mutton (goat meat) and coffee. Sitting on wet damp places and consuming cold food like ice cream and frozen food should be avoided. Do not put too much strain on your back by lifting heavy things and always be careful when you sit and stand. Always try to put your whole body weight on your feet rather standing on your toes. Application of a hot water bag and very gentle massage is also beneficial and later Traditional Tibetan moxabustion could be very beneficial too.
