Diabetes

In Ayurveda, Diabetes is known as Madhumeha (Madhu means ‘Honey’ and Meha means ‘Urine’). Medhumeha is categorized as Vataj Meha (a problem caused by aggravation of Vata Dosha). Vata is an Ayurveda humour symbolizing Wind and Dryness. Deterioration of the body is a characteristic that indicates impairment of Vata. Maximum deterioration of ‘Dhatus’ (Body Tissues) occurs in this type of disease and this is the reason why all vital organs are affected by Diabetes.

Etiological Factor of Diabetes

Different causes are associated with each type of Diabetes, there is no specific factor explained in Medical Text which causes the Diabetes, for some reason the Immune System mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin producing Beta-Cell in Pancreas. (This situation called ‘Auto- Immune Disorder’)

In Ayurveda literature, Diabetes named as ‘Madhumeh’ or ‘Prameha’, the prime cause explained as Impaired Digestion, Impaired Digestion leads to accumulation of specific digestive impurities (Known as ‘Aam’) which accumulated in pancreatic cells and impair the production of Insulin.

Our Ayurvedic expert recommend avoiding excess Sweets, Carbohydrates, Red Meat, Seafood, and Dairy products which are all thought to aggravate the ‘Kapha’ Dosha. Instead, your diet should include herbs like Ginger, Gokshura,Triphala, Musta, Cardamom, Fenugreek, or Coriander
