What is the therapy for kidney pain?
As with other complaints, kidney pain can be differentiated between general, i.e. symptomatic, therapy and specific therapy in which the underlying disease is treated.
Home remedies
The most important thing for kidney pain is sufficient fluid intake. Common causes of pain are inflammations caused by germs. The fluid ensures that the pathogens are flushed out and thus prevents them from multiplying.
The recommended amount of fluid is at least 2.5 liters, which should be drunk throughout the day to ensure an even urine production. It is important to note that coffee, alcohol and black tea should be avoided, as these drinks also remove water from the body. Furthermore, one should eat a lot of fruit and vegetables to strengthen the immune system so that the body can fight the possible infection.
With strong pain warmth can be felt as soothing. Cherry stone cushions are suitable for this, which can be warmed up in the microwave or cooled in the refrigerator. Cold, wetness and draught weaken the body’s own defenses and should be avoided.
In general, kidney pain should not be underestimated and, in case of uncertainty, the family doctor should be consulted to prevent possible complications later on. For sufficient flushing of the aching kidney, some teas are recommended which can have a soothing effect. The bladder and kidney tea available on the market often contains active ingredients from goldenrod and the leaves of the birch tree in highly concentrated form.
These fight the inflammation, flush out the existing pathogens by stimulating urine production and are thus able to relieve the pain. Juniper leaf and dandelion teas are also recommended. It is important to use them regularly throughout the day to allow the pathogens to flush out.
Also during pregnancy a sufficient drinking quantity is important. The ureters are further displaced by hormone influence, which makes it easier for pathogens to attach themselves to the ureteral wall. In addition, an increased sugar content in the urine can create a favorable environment for germs, as they feed on sugar.
For this reason, sugary drinks such as cola should be avoided. In case of kidney pain during pregnancy, in addition to home remedies, the treating gynecologist should be consulted once again to avoid complications for mother and child, as it may then be necessary to take an antibiotic. For the homoeopathic treatment of kidney pain it is fundamental to say that this should only be used in addition to a medical therapy.
Therefore a physician should be consulted in each case, who can advise adapted, when no more pure hom?opathische therapy is sufficient for the therapy of the illness. A number of homeopathic medicines are recommended to support kidney pain. On the one hand, Duclamara can be taken for painful urination and kidney knocking pain.
If severe colic occurs, such as urinary stones, Colocynthis can be helpful. Arnica is used to treat bladder and kidney stones or injuries. Homeopathic remedies are available for use in several forms.
On the one hand there are globules, which contain the highly diluted active substance. On the other hand, drops, teas and ointments are also available on the market. If one has had good experiences with the application of homeopathic remedies, they are a good support in alleviating the symptoms.
