According to Panacea principles, several ingredients can be prescribed together as one package useful for treating kidney problems. These may include: punarnava (boerhavia diffusa), pashanbhed (bergenia ligulata), shigru (moringa oleifera) ,Varun (Crataeva nurvala), Gokshur(Tribulus terrestris ), Kaasni (Chicorium intybus ),Bhumiamla(Phyllanthus niruri) , Dhanyak(Coriander sativum ) etc . These herbs help regulate urine production by reducing inflammation as well as improve liver functions that are necessary for proper toxin elimination from the body.
