Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Grapes have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Mediterranean and Asian cultures. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), grapes are sometimes used to "tonify Qi" and nourish the kidneys, which are believed to store vital energy. Similarly, in Ayurveda and European folk medicine, grapes and grape products (including raisins) have been considered supportive for overall health and cleansing, which may include kidney wellness.

However, scientific validation for grape specifically supporting kidney function is limited. Some studies suggest that the polyphenols and antioxidants found in grapes, such as resveratrol, may have protective effects on kidney cells in laboratory and animal models, mainly by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Yet, these findings have not been robustly translated into clinical practice, and grapes are not commonly recognized in modern nephrology as a specific kidney-supportive food.

In summary, the use of grape for supporting the kidneys is mostly rooted in traditional herbal and dietary practices, with limited scientific evidence supporting a direct benefit. Most of the claims are based on the general antioxidant properties of grapes rather than specific kidney-related outcomes.
