Overview

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) can be overwhelming—but you're not powerless. Our Natural Medicine Program is designed to help you manage this genetic condition with care, clarity, and a holistic strategy that supports your kidneys, your lifestyle, and your long-term well-being.
By blending science-backed therapies with personalised guidance, we help reduce cyst progression, support kidney function, and improve symptoms—without relying solely on medication or waiting for kidney failure to occur.

Understanding Your Condition

What Is Polycystic Kidney Disease?

PKD is a hereditary condition where fluid-filled cysts grow in the kidneys, causing them to enlarge and eventually impair function. While conventional medicine often focuses on monitoring or preparing for dialysis, we aim to intervene earlier—naturally and proactively.

There are two main types:

  • Autosomal Dominant PKD (ADPKD) - More common, often appearing in adulthood and linked to mutations in PKD1 or PKD2 genes.
  • Autosomal Recessive PKD (ARPKD) – Rarer and typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood.

Are You Experiencing or Concerned About Acute Kidney Failure?

  • Back or Side Pain
    Discomfort from enlarged kidneys or cyst pressure may cause persistent pain.
  • Frequent or Bloody Urination
    You might notice blood in your urine or need to go more often, especially at night.
  • Kidney Stones or UTIs
    PKD increases the risk of painful stones and frequent urinary tract infections.
  • High Blood Pressure
    One of the earliest and most damaging effects of PKD on the kidneys.

Our Holistic Method

Addressing the Root Causes, Not Just the Symptoms

Our approach is built on addressing what contributes to PKD progression—chronic inflammation, poor circulation, elevated blood pressure, stress, and lifestyle strain.
