Diabetes According to Ayurveda - Dr Satyan Gujar

Diabetes or Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes increased blood sugar level. This can be because of the inability of pancreas to produce enough insulin or due to failure of the cells to respond to the insulin produced. High blood sugar level shows symptoms of polydipsia(increased thirst), polyphagia(increased hunger) and polyuria(increased urination).

According to Ayurveda, diabetes is referred as Madhumeha, Madhu means honey and Meha means urine. It is caused due aggravation of Vata. Maximum deteriotion of body tissues(dhatus) is caused in this disease. Vata is an ayurvedic humor characterized by dryness and wind. Impaired digestion also causes diabetes. This leads to accumulation of digestive impurities in the pancreas which in turn hampers the production of insulin.

Symptoms of Diabetes:

•  Increased hunger
• Frequent Urination
• Increased Thirst
• Tiredness and loss of energy
• Lack of interest
• Loss in weight
• Slow healing of wounds
• Blurred vision
