★ Shrink renal cysts. Some herbs medicine can restrict cyst epithelial cell secreting water-like fluids. Meantime, some herbs take increasing the cyst membrane permeability as work. In this condition, cyst fluids will permeate through membrane into blood and will be sent out through blood circulation. Renal cysts will stop to grow and begin to shrink gradually.
★ Repair damaged kidneys and improve renal functions. Chinese Medicine takes effects in improving renal functions mainly through remedying renal ischemia and anemia. Some herb medicines have effects of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation as well as preventing blood viscosity, dilating blood vessels and degrading extra cellular matrixes. Therefore, Chinese herb medicine can improve blood circulation and thereby improve ischemia and anoxia of renal tissues. Study shows that ischemia and anoxia are the key factors of renal fibrosis. With sufficient blood and oxygen, most impaired renal cells and renal tissues will recover from injury and renal functions will surely improve accordingly.
