Suffering from Kidney stones? Check how Nadifit diagnosis your pulse to predict formation of kidney stones?

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys or other parts of the urinary tract. Salt and minerals can crystallize when urine reaches a certain level of concentration.

Often, kidney stones form when there are calcium oxalate crystals in urine. Calcium levels can be high because of eating too much sodium.

The ureters are the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. If a kidney stone moves into a ureter and becomes lodged there, it can cause left lower back pain or right lower back pain. This is known as “passing a kidney stone.”

Kidney stones are very common, and many people go to the ER when they are experiencing severe lower back pain on one side and peeing blood. This happens when one or more kidney stones find their way into one of the ureters and become lodged there. This blocks the flow of urine and can cause severe pain and cramping.

• Not drinking enough water, dehydration

According to Traditional science

According to TCM five element (Panchabhuta) theory and yin-yang principle, it is estimated that, maximum number of people who belongs to these two categories are suspected to suffer from kidney stones or gallbladder stones or any stone formation in the body.

• First: Person suffering from Damp Heat
• Second: Person suffering from Empty Heat

Damp Heat: Dampness is sticky, it slows things down and person having dampness feels heaviness, feeling of tiredness, and heaviness of limbs or head. The excess dampness can lead to accumulation of phlegm. When heat rises in the body (low fluid intake, Excess physical work, restless mind, sleepless nights etc. rises heat in the body) which reduces body fluids and resulting in dried phlegm. Gall bladder or kidney stones are considered as a form of Phlegm, arising from the ‘steaming and brewing’ of Phlegm by Heat over a long period of time.

Below Graph shows, Pulse is taken for a patient suffering from kidney stones. It can be clearly interpreted as Damp heat in Spleen/Stomach and kidney/Urinary bladder. Just by reducing the damp heat one can stop recurrent formation of stones.

Empty Heat: Empty heat reduces the fluid levels in the body results in yin-deficiency. Often person suffering from empty heat will be thin and struggle to gain weight. For over a long period of time this empty heat consumes body fluids resulting in dried phlegm stagnation which leads to formation of stones.
