IN SIDDHA.....!!!

In Siddha system of medicine Kidney stone is called as ”KALLADAIPPU NOI”.
Siddha literature deals a lot about the origin of the disease and it’s treatment.Preventive and curative treatments are separately dealt in the Siddha texts.

IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE.......!!!

I have treated a lot of Kidney stone patients successfully by Siddha medicine.
5mm size to 14mm stones were treated.
Each and every patient is investigated thoroughly.X-Ray(KUB),Ultra Sound Scanning(USG) of abdomen and pelvis,Urine analysis,Blood Tests, and relevant investigations are done in the patients and then treatment is given.
After a course of at least 3 months, Ultrasound test is repeated and the other tests are carried as per the condition.

RESULTS:

- In all of the cases, even in Grade-2 or Grade-3 ‘hydronephrosis’- rapid symptomatic relief is got within 3 to 5 days.

- Hydronephrosis become normal within 20 days in majority of cases.

- USG was repeated in 20 days in such cases with hydronephrosis and the clinical findings were observed closely to prevent serious complications like Uraemia etc.

- All of the cases were successfully treated and ‘totally free’ from their previous complaints.

- USG revealed normal reports in the later studies.

- It’s a amazing truth….!!!

- I was failed in one patient out of all.

- The case,had stone in the lower Pelvis with 8 mm stone….which was not able to come out even after 5 months of treatment.

- But the good thing is that the patient have not suffered due to further pain attack.

All of the patients were advised to take plenty of water (3 to 4 Ltrs/day) in their routine life to prevent further stone formation.

It's my kind advise that PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW the success rate of this case in SIDDHA and when ever surgery is indicated in such stones,don't neglect to try Siddha Medicine.......!!!
