Treat Diabetes Naturally through Panchakarma and Ayurvedic Treatment

What is diabetes mellitus?

Did You Know…

Blood “sugar” really means blood glucose.

Diabetes mellitus is the immune-related disorder in which blood glucose (sugar) levels are high because the body is unable to produce enough insulin to meet its necessary needs. Diabetes damages the nerves and causes a sensation problem.

Diabetes occurs in one of the following situations:

The pancreas (an organ behind your stomach) is not able to produce little insulin or no insulin at all. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas.

What is an Ayurvedic View of Diabetes Mellitus?

In Ayurveda, diabetes mellitus is correlated with ‘’Madhumeha’’ (Hyperglycemia) in which a person passes honey-like (sweet) urine. In Ayurveda, there are 20 types of Prameha (Urological disorder).

It occurs due to the excessive use of Amla (sour), guru (heavy to digest), navannapana (food preparation from newly harvested grains), Snigdha (unctuous), Asya sukha (sedentary lifestyle), etc.

The aggravated Kapha dosha leads to disturbance in Kapha primarily which is associated with Pitta.

This imbalance of doshas move towards Medo dhatu (fatty tissues) which affect fat metabolism, lead to a further imbalance of kleda.

Hence, all kleda accumulates in the urinary system and there will be increased production of urine leading to excessive urination, gradually leading to Prameha.

What are the types of diabetes?

There are mainly two types of diabetes mellitus:

Type 1 diabetes mellitus

Type 1 diabetes occurs because the beta cells that produce insulin in the pancreas are damaged.

In this type, the pancreas produces little or no insulin, so sugar cannot get into the body’s cells for use as energy.

People must use insulin injections to control their blood glucose levels. It is the most common form of diabetes in people who are under the age of 30, but it can also occur at any age. Some of the people with diabetes are diagnosed with type 1.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus

In type 2 diabetes the body doesn’t produce enough, or the insulin does not work properly. Most of the people are suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus.

It occurs most often in people who are above the age of 40 but can also occur even in childhood if there are risk factors regarding this.

Sometimes, it can be controlled with a combination of diet, weight management, and exercise. 

Other types of diabetes are gestational diabetes (high blood glucose level during pregnancy), surgery, use of certain medications, and various illnesses.

What causes diabetes?

The main cause of diabetes mellitus is not known. The following causes that may increase your chance of getting diabetes:

  • Family history of diabetes mellitus
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Physical stress (like surgery or any chronic illness)
  • Use of certain medications, like steroids
  • Injury to the pancreas due to infection, tumor, or surgery
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • High blood pressure
  • Abnormal blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels
  • Age (risk increases with the age)
  • Smoking
  • History of gestational diabetes

Scientists believe that an environmental factor such as viral infection or a nutritional factor causes the immune system to destroy the insulin-producing cells.

It is important to know that sugar itself does not cause diabetes. Eating a lot of sugar causes tooth decay, but it does not cause diabetes mellitus.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

The symptoms of diabetes include:

  1. Increased thirst
  2. Increased hunger (especially after food intake)
  3. Dryness in mouth
  4. Frequent urination or excessive urination
  5. Unexplained loss of weight (even though you are eating and feel hungry)
  6. Weakness or feeling tired
  7. Blurring of vision
  8. Numbness or tingling sensation under the soles of feet or palms of hands
  9. Slow-healing of sores or cuts
  10. Dryness and itchy skin

  13. Headache
  14. Feeling cranky
  15. Poor coordination
  16. Bad dreams or nightmares

irregular periods

How to Cure Irregular Menstruation through Ayurveda?

What is irregular menstruation?

A women’s menstrual cycle isn’t always regular and irregular periods also called oligomenorrhea.

Some women get their periods right on schedule every 28 days, plus or minus seven days but some women’s cycles aren’t so predictable.

It can occur during a change in contraception method, hormonal imbalance, hormonal changes during the menopause, and endurance exercises.

To determine whether the menstruation is regular or irregular, count from the last day of the previous period and stop counting on the first day of the next menstrual period.
