Kidney Stones
A Painful Experience
Kidney stones are a common complaint many people suffer with nowadays. As the name suggests, they are hard stone-like deposits made of calcium or uric acid, and can vary in size.
The stones tend to form when the body is dehydrated or if a person’s diet is high in sugar, protein or salt. Sometimes, they can occur because of excessive minerals present in every day, store bought, bottled water. They also form due to certain medications and conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or gout.
Depending on their size, some stones pass naturally through the urinary trac, which can be a very painful experience. They can also cause infections in the urinary tract. Others may need breaking down by non invasive shock wave therapy or require surgical removal.

Kidney Disease
The Kidney Disease Solution
One of the kidneys’ main functions is to filter and remove waste products from the blood, which, in turn, are eliminated from the body via urine. This is vital for healthy maintenance of our body.
The kidneys regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body; maintaining the pH balance of the blood. They also play a crucial role in maintaining healthy blood pressure by producing renin, which controls the constriction of blood vessels.
In Qigong Energy medicine, it is believed that kidney disease is the product of over exposure to the emotions of fear. Stress, fear and anxiety can weaken the kidney energy. In the short term, this can lead to fatigue and lack of overall energy and enthusiasm for life. In the long run, it can lead to kidney disease and depression.
The best way to restore the kidneys is to calm the mind, have a good work-play life balance and adhere to a healthy nutritional plan.
