It would be hard to disagree with the fact that as a species, we have never been more technologically advanced. Never in our history have we been able to do more, see more, or understand more of the world around us. Thankfully, this premise has carried over to the realm of medicine, however, despite all of our advancements, a growing trend is the turning away from invasive and manufactured medicines in lieu of more natural alternatives. And while this practice can be seen across just about every ailment, it is kidney disease that is showing the most promise.

Kidney disease means that the kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood like they should. This damage can cause wastes to build up in the body. It can also cause other problems that can harm your health. For most people, kidney damage occurs slowly over many years, often due to diabetes or high blood pressure. So what can be done about it?
