Kundan Kidney Care Centre - Jalandhar
The Kundan Kidney Care Centre is an association of Ayurvedic doctors whose priority concern is providing care and relief to people living with chronic kidney disease. We act as a resource for extensive information about kidney care and ailments. And most importantly, we provide alternative herbal treatments, tailored to each patient’s individual symptoms, blood work, and medical history.
The Kundan Kidney Care Centre launched in 1974 in Jalandhar in India, under the inspiration of Dr. Kuldip Singh Kundan. In subsequent years, he was joined in the care of kidney patients by his son, Dr. Balkar Singh Kundan, and by Dr. Balkar’s wife, Dr. Gaganpreet Kundan. After extensive medical internships and research, Doctors Balkar and Gaganpreet now continue the work of the late Doctor Kuldip, partnering Ayurvedic and standard medical practice. Our doctors serve a global community of patients with chronic kidney disease.
This traditional medical system originated in the Indian subcontinent, and can complement traditional Western medicine. Ayurveda emphasizes a balance in all systems, including body, mind, and spirit. This means treatments may involve everything from massage, meditation, and alterations in diet to small surgeries and rejuvenation of bodily systems through herbal supplements.
Genuine Ayurvedic medicine involves a rigorous program of study that takes almost six years to complete. After learning modern clinical medicine along with the more traditional Ayurvedic usages of herbs and systems of diagnosis and treatment, graduates receive a Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery degree, or B.A.M.S.
Ayurvedic medicine comes in both plant-based and metal/chemical-based forms. But because of physical difficulties patients may have with metals and chemicals, we use only plant-based medicine. We will do nothing that may jeopardize our patients’ compromised kidneys, so we use no metallic derivatives or inorganic chemicals in our formulations.
