Having protein in your urine is a clear indication of proteinuria which leads to an excessive loss of protein from the body via urine. Proteinuria can occur when you have excessive protein intake which makes your kidneys overwork to remove excessive amounts of protein from the body. When this doesn’t happen then protein cells start collecting on the filtering units of your kidneys which can also cause swelling in the small blood vessels inside your kidneys.
These small blood tubules are termed as Glomeruli which plays a crucial role in purifying your blood from chemical toxins and other excessive fluids which are required to flush out from the body via urine. Apart from that, Glomeruli are also primed in preventing some essential nutrients, like protein from seeping out of the body through urine. When damaged, they lose their ability to prevent protein (albumin) from seeping out from the body during the urine elimination process.
Coming back to the main headline of today’s article which says how you can stop your kidneys from leaking protein?
According to Ayurveda, proteinuria is the result of aggravation caused in the doshas of your body which are- Vata dosha, Pitta dosha, and Kapha dosha. These doshas control certain areas and functions of the human body, but sometimes these doshas get disrupted due to when we induce virudh aahar, such as processed or canned foods in our diet. Such foods can aggravate doshas which can bring some severe health conditions including kidney-related problems, like proteinuria.
Although, there are a plethora of drugs and medicines available which can reverse your kidneys’ functioning but the effect of such medicines fuels out very soon without actually curing the permanent drivers of the problems affecting your kidneys’ functioning.
If you wish for a healthy and safe recovery from proteinuria then Ayurvedic treatment is proven effective in curing many health problems including proteinuria. The ayurvedic treatment uses a holistic approach to cure dead or weak kidneys’ cells so that they start functioning as they should.
The three stages of Ayurvedic treatment
Ayurvedic herbs work in three different stages which include-
- Bio-cleansing procedure (panchakarma)

Bio-cleansing procedure (panchkarma)
Panchkarma is an important segment of Ayurvedic treatment which detoxifies your body internally from toxins, viruses, and infections that make you vulnerable to having many health problems.
Strengthening of natural defenses
