Nierenerkrankungen und ihre Therapie im Āyurveda – eine Übersicht

Zusammenfassung

Aus Sicht des Āyurveda kann man Erkrankungen der Niere je nach Symptomatik in 4 Gruppen einteilen: 1. Syndrome, die durch Dysurie gekennzeichnet sind, 2. Syndrome mit Oligurie und Anurie, 3. Syndrome mit Polyurie oder Veränderungen der Urinzusammensetzung und 4. Urolithiasis. In der āyurvedischen Diagnose muss neben der jeweiligen Erkrankung auch die individuelle Konstitution betrachtet werden. Āyurvedische Therapieansätze umfassen allgemeine und spezielle Diätetik, spezielle Phytotherapie und ggf. auch ausleitenden Verfahren (Pañcakarma). In dieser Übersicht werden diese Therapieansätze, die sich teilweise auch in modernen Untersuchungen als erfolgreich erwiesen haben, kurz vorgestellt.

Abstract

From an āyurvedic perspective diseases of the kidneys can be classified into four large groups on the basis of their symptoms: 1. Syndromes marked by Dysuria, 2. Syndromes with Oliguria and Anuria, 3. Syndromes with changes in the composition of urine or polyuria and 4. Renal calculi. Apart from the specific disease the constitution of an individual has to be considered, too, in āyurvedic diagnosis. Āyurvedic therapy includes general and specific dietetic advice, special herbal therapy and if needed a course of cleansing therapies (Pañcakarma). In this overview these therapeutic strategies, some of which have proven to be effective in contemporary studies, will be summarily discussed.
