Hello, dear Yulia Evgenievna!

We passed OAM after 10 days (Orthosiphon was added for 5 days and the juice of one lemon for 10 days). I was very pleased with the decrease in red blood cells, the absence of cylinders, etc. Sergei is feeling good, we do not see any edema.

Looking forward to further instructions!

05/18/16 Love

Yulechka Evgenievna!!!

I returned to your collection with cyanosis, Birch leaf, Lingonberry and Orthosiphon. Without it, you have to drink Diuver almost every day, but with the collection it is much easier, there is no such swelling on the legs. Many hugs! Be healthy!

09/27/15 Sergey

Hello, Yulia Evgenievna!

We followed your recommendations. To improve her well-being, my wife drank the collection you specified: Lupine clover - 1, Milk thistle - 1 des.l., Orthosiphon - 2, Tatar prickly - 1 des.l., Melissa officinalis - 2).

Hello Olga!

There are a lot of herbs for any of the diseases you listed. You need to take the minimum, but those that will affect everything, or almost everything:

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, roots to 3-5 mm. - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; take 2 tbsp each. and mix evenly.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

I would put polycystic kidney disease first. Most likely, hypertension is associated with it. But it can also be primary, on “nervous grounds”.

Tablets taken:

Morning: Britomar 10 mg, 1 tablet, Digoxin 1/2 tablet, Elekviz 5 mg, 1/2 tablet, Micardiz 80 mg, 1 tablet, Sotahexal 160 mg, 1 tablet, Lerkamen 10 mg, 1 tablet.

Evening: Digoxin 1/2 tablet, Elequis 1/2 tablet, Lerkamen 1 tablet, Micardis 1/2 tablet, Physiotens 1/2 tablet, Sotahexal 1 tablet.

Hello Maria!

Your mother, first of all, needs a competent cardiologist.

Digoxin is a strong and dangerous drug from a group of poisons, the so-called cardiac ones. Currently, atrial fibrillation is not treated this way. I believe that Digoxin should be stopped, but not immediately, so as not to cause withdrawal syndrome, but by adding herbs and other drugs. It is necessary to observe the effects of the herbs and resolve the issue with Digoxin.

20.0 grams of flowers, without crushing, pour 100.0 ml of 60-70% alcohol (or pharmaceutical Herboton) and leave for 7 days. Strain. Drink 15 drops twice a day. Course - 1 month. The course must be repeated after 1.5 months.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

3. Panangin. Take 2 tablets 2-3 times a day - every 10 days of the new month.

Hello Anna!

But in any case, limit salt to 2.0 grams per day, and every day consume the most delicious diuretic in the world - watermelon!

1. Decoction.

Grind the herb evenly to 3-5 mm and mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 weeks.

GOOD LUCK and good mood!

Hello.

My husband (47 years old) had a hemorrhagic stroke in November 2017, with the formation of intracerebral hematomas in both hemispheres of the brain, stage 3 hypertension, risk - 4, CHF - 1).

Currently, despite the medications I take, my blood pressure remains at 154/114.

While he was in intensive care, he suffered from a history of bilateral pneumonia, duodenal ulcer, and anemia. Today we are fighting kidney failure.

According to the latest tests: creatinine - 206, urea - 11.7, glomerular filtration according to SKD - 31. We read from you that in order to lower creatinine and increase glomerular filtration - Orthosiphon helps. We could only find it in bags and brew the bag in a glass of boiling water. I don't know if this is true?

Maybe you can recommend something else to us. I’m afraid to self-medicate, I’m cautious because our gallbladder has been removed.

Dear Ekaterina, hello!

I sympathize with you very much. I won’t bother with questions, I’ll just assume that your spouse developed chronic kidney disease due to long-standing hypertension. But I wouldn’t mind looking at the urine.

Orthosiphon, and even in this form, will not help much. Here are your medicines and herbs:

1. Lespeflan, or Lespenefril. Drink according to instructions, for a long time.

2. Collection of herbs taking into account pressure.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

Drink 50.0 ml 4 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

I'll be glad to help, see you later!

Good afternoon.

I really need your advice. 2 friends contacted you and you helped them a lot. I hope this is possible in our case too.

I have a daughter Arina, she is 8 months old. In the last weeks of pregnancy, a diagnosis was made: intrauterine hydrocephalus. At 2 months the diagnosis was confirmed - decompensated communicating hydrocephalus, and a shunt was installed. At 5 months the shunt was revised and after that the head continues to grow, but not so quickly.

Today the head is 53.5 cm. There is hope that the cerebrospinal fluid system can work on its own. We do massages with and give D. I read that infusions of Melissa and Cornflower can help. Some recommend marsh calamus and astragalus, while others even suggest brewing cockroaches)

I want to try herbs. I hope for your knowledge and look forward to your answer.

Hello Anna!

I don’t want to cast a shadow on anyone, but with adequate shunting the head should not grow.

But in any case, the main herbs are diuretic and enhance the outflow of blood and lymph:

1. Collection of herbs.

1 tsp pour 100.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 100.0 ml.

Give 10.0 ml to drink 5 times a day, 30 minutes before each meal. The course is 1.5-2 months.

The collection is given for 2 days of use; store the strained collection in the refrigerator. In the morning, remove and keep at room temperature.

A diuretic herb is given in parentheses; for now, give it without it and monitor diuresis before you start taking the collection and during it, daily. Write everything down on a sign.

Please tell me a collection or herbs with a diuretic effect, but gentle on the kidneys. Mom’s legs began to swell more and it was difficult for her to walk.

Natasha, good afternoon!

And DO NOT give more than your daily urine volume with any other liquid, including soup!

2. To quickly remove liquid:

Good afternoon

Need your advice on herbs. In February, she was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The protein appeared during pregnancy in December 2017. One-time was 10, daily was 5. Now it is declining, down to 3 grams. I take Metypred - 9 tablets. Statins. Calcium. Chimes. Cholesterol 7.

There are no leukocytes or red blood cells in the urine, only protein. And I constantly have mucus in my nose. It's been running down the back wall for 3 months now. There is also endometriosis. ALT and AST are normal. Creatinine too.

Good afternoon, Ekaterina!

Protein needs to be replenished, the losses are considerable. I don’t know the diet recommended for you, but it is customary to consume at least 50.0 grams. protein per day, 1:1 plant to animal. Preference is given to low-fat cottage cheese, unleavened cheese, eggs in a bag, turkey and chicken; sea fish; green peas, bean pods, eggplants, asparagus, PUMPKIN, watermelons.

But, most importantly, reduce protein levels with herbs.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course 1.5-2 months; change of herbs.

Monitoring urea and creatinine every 3 months; urine according to Nechiporenko - every six months; OAM - every 14 days; GFR - every six months.

Pour 1 heaped tablespoon of crushed shiksha grass into 500.0 ml of water in an enamel mug, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for exactly 7 minutes. Remove and cool. Do not remove the herb from the decoction; store the decoction in the refrigerator. It is convenient to pour a volume of about 150.0 ml in the morning, drink 2-3 sips at least 5-7 times a day. Repeat daily until the decoction is gone. Then refill the same raw material with 500.0 ml of water and prepare in the same way. Prepare the broth in this way until it becomes pale (2-3 times), and only then use new raw materials. The course is 4-6 months, without a break.

I will be very happy to help you in word and deed!

Catch you later!

Good afternoon

Please help me if you can. I have been suffering from chronic cystitis for half a year, frequent urge, I feel the bladder, although urination itself is not painful. I saw a gynecologist and a urologist, the prescribed antibiotics help as long as you drink, then it all starts again.

The tests are almost always clean, there are no STDs, viruses, or fungi. I take Chistolon and Osinol, I really love these complexes, they have improved the functioning of my gastrointestinal tract. But here’s what to do with cystitis, if this is what it is (because, they say, if urination is not painful, it is not cystitis... I would be very grateful for the answer.

Hello, Ekaterina!

Good thing there are no STDs. But maybe there is dysbiosis or intimate problems?

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

2 tbsp. pour 500.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 500.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml 3-4 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course 2-3 weeks.

Make phytocompresses with the remainder.

Wrap the cake in a linen napkin, moisten with hot infusion and fix on the suprapubic area for 30-40 minutes, twice a day, for a course of 8-10 days.

A strict diet was prescribed (no more than 60g of protein per day - 30g animal + 30g vegetable), excluding foods containing phosphorus and increased content potassium If the tests (will be taken on June 18, 2018) show increased Creatinine, i.e. 400 and above, then re-hospitalization for the formation of permanent vascular access for HD.

Help, please, doctors don’t want to hear anything about herbal treatment!

Hello, Elena!

I really hope you will respond!

Even if my husband has started hemodialysis, it is not too late to use herbs now. Urea and Creatinine accumulate quite quickly during breaks, and herbs will NOT allow this. In addition to the prescribed treatment, start taking the collection as soon as possible:

1. Start immediately with Lespeflan or Lespenefril, if you are not already taking it - these are basic drugs.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, roots to 3-5 mm. - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Control of TAM, Creatinine and uric acid - after 2 weeks from the start of treatment.

GOOD SUCCESS and see you soon!

Good afternoon.

I am 35 years old, weight 61 kg, height 164 cm.

Blood pressure is normal 80/120, often drops (70/110 and below). I suffer from constipation, I try to eat vegetables and dried fruits (dried apricots). This is not enough, Phytolax helps, I only drink it if I have been constipated for a week. Accordingly, bloating, inflammation and pain - in this case I take Furazolidone.

I’m so tired of going to doctors, taking handfuls of pills that don’t help, I really hope for your help.

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Good day!

Given so many problems, let's start with the universal and trouble-free remedy, starting with allergies and ending with any inflammation:

For a weight up to 60 kg, a single dose is 0.1 grams, a daily dose is 0.3 grams.

Up to 70 kg, single dose 0.2; daily - 0.6 g.

With a weight of up to 80 kg, the dose is, respectively, 0.3; 0.9 gr.

Pinch off a piece and roll into a ball. Mumiyo's weight of 0.5 grams corresponds to the size of a match head. Dissolve it in a small amount of water, add up to 200.0 ml with water.

Drink 100.0 ml in the morning, on an empty stomach, and 2 hours before bedtime, also on an empty stomach.

Course - 28 days.

2. Collection of herbs, possible at the same time.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly to 2-3 mm, the roots to 3-5 mm - first mechanically to small pieces, then using a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Take herbs without a dose indicated in tablespoons.

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. The course is 1.5-2 months.

3. Diets. I hope you know her!

You must wear anti-varicose underwear, first of all - this automatically and quickly reduces pain and swelling, so this rule number 1 cannot be neglected.

You can drink everything that the market offers, and always add anticoagulants to any herbal collection (clover, Willow bark, Cordiform linden).

Avoid foods and herbs that increase blood clotting. Do not get carried away with diuretics, which cause this “sin”.

Make lotions, give up tight clothes(jeans), stilettos - anything that impedes the flow of blood.

Grind the raw material evenly to 2-3 mm. Take 1 tbsp each. and mix evenly.

2 tbsp. pour 400.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or in a boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes, leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 400.0 ml.

Use for compresses 2-3 times a day. Course - 3 weeks, break and repeat.

Grind 3-4 tablespoons of dried horse chestnut flowers into powder, pour in melted chicken fat and stir. Place in the oven at 75 degrees for an hour. Cool and store in the refrigerator. Apply to problem areas twice a day for 1-1.5 months.

With wishes of unconditional success, Natalya.

06/01/18 Bogdan

Hello.

I am 22 years old and I have been diagnosed with chronic glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis was made in February. I take hormones (Metprednasolone), diet, etc. The tests are slowly returning to normal, but very, very slowly; today the protein in the urine is 2.3.

I really love playing sports, I can’t imagine myself without it. What do you recommend to do and what to take?

Hello, Bogdan!

Hello, Marina!

In connection with the rise in cholesterol, it is necessary to look at TSH, T4 free, and antibodies to TPO. For planning, you need good urine, a Nechiporenko test, and normal levels of thyroid hormones.

We will reduce protein and clotting, too, with the help of the following herbs:

1 tbsp. pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. The course is 1.5 months, the first urine control is 10-12 days from the start of taking the collection.

2. Orthosiphon staminate.

Grind the herb into powder and store airtight. Eat 1.0 g, three times a day, before meals. The course is 4 weeks, break 7 days and resume if necessary.

3. Diet with limited protein, salt; with sufficient water load (at least 1.0 liters per day)

GOOD LUCK and see you!

05/13/18 Sergey

Hello. A diagnosis of glomerulonephritis was made (moderate hypertension 145/90, red blood cells and protein in the urine). I drank Orthosiphon stamenis for a month - the protein disappeared. How can you remove red blood cells and pressure?

Hello, Sergey!

Start with nutrition. Immediately limit salt to 3.0 grams per day; start weaning yourself off meat, eggs, cottage cheese.

Eat 2 times a week sea fish, or seafood. Your main source of protein should be plant-based. There is an opinion that it is better to prefer animals to them, but there is also experience that says the opposite. The more you spare your kidneys, the longer they will last! The herbs should be taken constantly, with short breaks after 2 month courses. Today these are the following herbs:

1 tbsp. pour 200.0 ml of cold drinking water over the mixture for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and leave for an hour. Strain, squeeze, add to 200.0 ml. Drink 70.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. Course 2 months, change of herbs.

Control OAM - exactly 2 weeks from the start of the collection!

I’m ready to help you, Sergey! GOOD LUCK and see you!

05/07/18 Tayana

Good afternoon, I am very glad to meet your site, where there is so much useful information, thank you for your work and attention. I would like to receive your recommendations for treatment with herbs and natural preparations.

I’m 36, I’ve had health problems since childhood, I often had colds, bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, weak immunity, also gastritis from an early age (regular exacerbations in spring/autumn) jvp (since childhood I don’t like fatty, sweet), I had acute pancreatitis a couple of times ( stopped with no-shpa and cerucal), very painful periods from the age of 15 to the present (started at 13, the cycle is regular, for more than 10 years there have been endometrioid ovarian cysts of 2-3 cm, they are not growing, the uterus is normal) tests of sex hormones, thyroid both in youth and now normal; chronic pyelonephritis since the age of 20, a lot of sand (according to ultrasound), urine analysis is always normal even against the background of exacerbations. I always consulted doctors on time, but from my own experience I came to the conclusion that the classical drug therapy does not cure chronic diseases, but only helps to stop acute conditions, and then you need to look for what is close to the body, natural remedies. Through trial and error, I selected herbs (widely available). Mint helped with indigestion, nausea, exacerbations of gastritis were treated with Chamomile, yarrow, Plantain, heaviness in the right hypochondrium -: immortelle, St. John's wort, pain in the kidneys - Bearberry, problems with the nose and throat, salt rinses , Sabelnik helped raise immunity. I drink many herbs as tea all year round with short breaks, but I noticed that the body gets used to the collections and they already lose their initial effectiveness, even if they are drunk intermittently.

There are currently three problems that bother me:

first - recent years 7, summer allergy, manifests itself in the form of urticaria on the skin turning into eczema, onset in hot dry weather, accompanied by internal heat, burning of the skin, itching, in general I can’t stand heat/open sun well (the skin begins to burn) in the first years dermatologists treated with antihistamines (tablets . more than 30) the first symptoms began to appear, I understand that the root of the problem is probably in the gastrointestinal tract, but my usual herbs do not help me in this case. Repeatedly tested for liver complex (normal) cholesterol and triglycerides were slightly elevated.

The second problem is the right kidney, for the last 5 years, frequent exacerbations: nagging pain, general weakness, lethargy, sometimes low-grade fever, this despite the fact that I have been taking courses for the last 2 years (I selected the composition experimentally): Orthosiphon Birch Leaf Bearberry Heather plus pharmaceutical extract of Madder (together with Sabelnik helped get rid of pain in the joints of the hand, knees, morning swelling has gone away) I have been tested repeatedly for Renal and Rheumatic complex, all indicators are normal. General Analyzes Blood and Urine were always normal. The blood pressure is often low (my norm is 100 to 70). Over the past couple of years, against the background of kidney problems, there have been periodic pains in the heart, as if there is not enough air, weakness (possibly due to frequent use diuretic herbs????), ECG within age norm, Ultrasound of the heart is normal.

The third problem: gynecology endometriosis cysts, their age is 10-12 years, they do not grow), periods are very painful from the age of 15 (severe weakness, cramps of the calf muscles, after the cramps the muscles hurt very much when walking, there are moderate varicose veins, abdominal cramps, lower back pain , severe nausea, to the point of vomiting), menstruation itself lasted 3-4 days, the last few cycles lasted 3 days, blood loss was moderate, nagging pain appeared not only during menstruation, but also in the middle of the cycle, for cramps I take nimesil, if it’s really bad, an injection of diclofenac, The cycle is 27-28 days, the last couple of years libido has generally been reduced. There were no pregnancies or abortions. Gynecologists prescribed OK, but I did not tolerate them well (nausea, diarrhea, headache) and did not agree to surgery (laparoscopy), in addition, while taking OK, I developed dark spots on the face. The latest hormone test (autumn 2017) was normal. About 4 years ago I took the Red Brush, for a long time, during menstruation and painful symptoms It didn't have any effect, so she didn't take it anymore.

I would like to pick natural treatment to reduce spasms and adhesions. After 20 years of painful periods, I’ve probably already taken kilograms of painkillers; I understand that they don’t cure, they only reduce pain, but at the same time they cause harm to other organs.

(With age I learned to be more tolerant of problems, although I am quick-tempered and fickle by nature)

I really hope for your qualified advice and recommendations.
