Description

In Ayurveda, diabetes is referred to as “Madhumeha” or “Prameha,” and it is considered a chronic metabolic disorder that affects the balance of the “Kapha” and “Pitta” doshas. Ayurveda views diabetes as a condition where the body cannot properly metabolize sugar, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.

Ayurveda encompasses various types like Vataja, Pittaja, and Kaphaja Madhumeha, each characterized by specific symptoms and dosha involvement. Ayurvedic management focuses on dietary modifications, incorporating herbs like Gudmar and Jamun, Panchakarma therapies to detoxify the body, stress reduction, and lifestyle adjustments to balance doshas and regulate blood sugar levels. While Ayurveda offers holistic strategies for diabetes management, it should complement conventional medical care, with individuals continuing to monitor and manage their condition under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
