Can kidney disease drink tea?

Most of the kidney disease friends in most of time can safely drink tea. That's including chronic kidney disease patients. However, I should remind our kidney disease patient to avoid strong tea. .Drinking strong tea can lead to excessive intake of caffeine and oxalic acid, which can lead to some problems (high blood pressure, insomnia, kidney stones, etc.).You'd better drink plenty of water!

Tips: the situation below please limit your tea/drinking water:
(1) severe edema of kidney disease
(2) patients with severe heart failure
(3) long-term dialysis patients with uremia
(4) acute renal failure accompanied by oliguria or urinuria
(5) patients with iron deficiency anemia

traditional chinese medicine vs western medicine?

Chinese medicine is a system of health care developed thousands of years ago. Western medicine, while quite ubiquitous in the United States, is a much more recent phenomenon. "The development of medicine in Western nations follows the way of hypothetical deduction and the Eastern approach uses the inductive method," writes Dr. Julia J. Tsuei for the National Center for Biotechnology Information. "The Western approach clearly divides the health from the disease, yet the Eastern approach considers health as a balanced state versus disease as an unbalanced state." Whether you are looking for alternative or complimentary treatments to those offered by mainstream medical providers or are considering a career in in holistic health, it helps to understand some of the differences in Chinese medicine vs Western medicine. To learn more about some attributes of each system, read on.

Divergent approaches to patient exams

While a doctor of Western medicine might be most interested in vital signs like weight, height, body temperature, blood pressure and so on, as well as signs of disease, the Chinese medicine doctor will examine the whole person. A practitioner might be just as interested in a person's physical issues as in other aspects of their lives, including their relationships with family, life stresses or spiritual state.

A doctor of Western medicine might treat two patients suffering the same ailment in the same way, while Chinese medicine practitioners would understand that each patient is an individual. "What makes Eastern medicine so different than Western is that instead of prescribing a 'one size fits all' for all patients with certain symptoms, Eastern medicine looks at the needs of each individual and unique body and acts accordingly," according to Gaia. "In essence, it’s a short-term versus long-term action plan."

Differences in diagnostic practices

Practitioners of Chinese medicine understand the world and the human body in terms of five essential elements:
Wood, Fire, Earth,Metal, Water

These substances are aspects of the qi, or chi — or the life force energy — that flows within the body. Each person is made up of a unique balance of these elements, which are each associated with different seasons, colors and organs in the body. When the elements become unbalanced of the flow of qi is impeded, health problems occur. The therapies used by practitioners of Chinese Medicine aim to restore flow and balance. The treatments also aim to help facilitate the body's own ability to heal itself.

Some of the methods Chinese medicine uses to correct imbalances and create harmony:
Diet therapy, Acupuncture, Massage,Herbal remedies, Chinese exercise, Meditation

Western medicine often relies on pharmaceutical therapies to address health issues, while Chinese medicine relies on more natural substances.

Some patients opt for a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and it's a good idea to share with your practitioner or provider all the treatments and therapies you use.

what is Herbalism?

Herbalism (also herbal medicine or phytotherapy) is the study of botany and use of plants intended for medicinal purposes or for supplementing a diet. Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today. Modern medicine recognizes herbalism as a form of alternative medicine, as the practice of herbalism is not strictly based on evidence gathered using the scientific method. Modern medicine makes use of many plant-derived compounds as the basis for evidence-based pharmaceutical drugs. Although phytotherapy may apply modern standards of effectiveness testing to herbs and medicines derived from natural sources, few high-quality clinical trials and standards for purity or dosage exist. The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts.
