I have polycystic kidneys. Nothing has been prescribed to help dry up or diminish the cysts. I have these occasional flare ups where I experience aching and spasms mainly on the left kidney. Are there hers I can take to relieve the aches and spasms. I appreciate any suggestion of help.

I agree. Pckd is a serious congenital condition as you know and renal function must be preserved at all effort. Avoidance of toxic substances that includes aspirin like meds, alcohol and unknown
Herbs and some foods ie licorice are examples. Watch salt in the diet and your blood pressure. Avoid dehydration as this can cause kidney failure. Moderate exercise is okay usually. Acupuncture might help with the pain you are experiencing.

There is inadequate evidence that Chinese herbs can effectively control the symptoms of kidney cysts.
For you, it is important to protect the kidney functioning and prevent your condition from further aggravation. Herbs have complex ingredients which should be used with caution.
