Diabetes mellitus, referred to as Madhumeha in Ayurveda, is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to impaired insulin function. Ayurvedic management focuses on balancing the body’s doshas, detoxification, herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes to effectively manage and prevent diabetes.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Diabetes:
In Ayurveda, diabetes is primarily associated with an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, leading to increased blood sugar levels. Contributing factors include a sedentary lifestyle, improper diet, and stress.
