Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease by Chinese Medicines

According to the Chinese medicines, the onset and progression of any diseases, weather hereditary or non-inherited are due to the disorders and imbalances in the internal environments of the body caused by different pathogenic factors.

The mechanism of Chinese medicines is to regulate and rectify the disorders and recover balances and that is why Chinese medicines can be both used to treat diseases and build physical strength.

PKD is a common hereditary disorder in the kidneys. Though Chinese medicines can not cure PKD nor remove the cysts in short time as surgeries, it can help alleviate the discomforts and slow down the illness progression.

Here I will recommend one herbal medicine called flax seed which have many benefits to PKD patients. Actually it should belong to crops; anyway it has great medical values.

Flax seed can reduce the cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood and transform low-density cholesterol into cholic acid and then be discharged out of the body. It can lower blood pressure and reduce blood viscosity so as to prevent blockage of the blood vessels and related diseases. These can all help slow down the illness progression of PKD.

Flax seed can regulate prostaglandin and promote secretion of liver, pancreas and spleen and maintain normal metabolisms in the body.

Flax seed can improve and prevent the infections and inflammations in organs and tissues so as to reduce the risk factors of PKD. It can also help discharge excessive sodium and water in the kidneys and alleviate swelling.

In addition, flax seed has many other benefits to human health.
