What is Diabetes and How Does It Affect Your Health?
In Ayurveda, diabetes is called Madhumeha, which is a Sanskrit term. Madhumeha, therefore, can be translated as 'Madhu', which means honey or sweet, and ‘Meha', which is urine. Which means it’s called sweet urine. Therefore, diabetes or Madhumeha is classified as ‘prameha’ (urine disorders) in Ayurveda. Diabetes increases your blood glucose levels, which can lead to several health conditions. Also, the symptoms may vary based on the type of diabetes you have.
Common symptoms of diabetes include:
Increased thirst or continuously feeling thirsty no matter how much you drink.
Excessive urination, which can be 10-12 times a day or more, especially at night.
Vision problems such as blurred vision or cataracts.
Swollen feet, water retention.
Inability to heal wounds easily or get infections from minor wounds.
Fatigue
Tingling sensation in hands and feet.
Unexplained weight loss
Recitative skin or vaginal yeast infections.
What causes diabetes?
The most common reasons include:
- Insulin resistance
- Autoimmune disease
- Genetic mutation
- Pancreatic damage
- Hormonal Imbalance
In Ayurveda, diabetes is associated with Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosa (metabolism, digestion, and fat tissues). When Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are not balanced in our body, it can lead to diabetes and other health conditions. Aligning these three elements in our body is the key to ayurvedic management of diabetes.
How Ayurveda Heals Diabetes from the Core
Instead of focusing on instant results like allopathic treatment, Ayurveda focuses on creating a perfect balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha to minimize the symptoms of diabetes from the core. Our ayurvedic treatment aims to reduce the body's glucose levels and maintain a healthy balance through natural remedies, diet, and therapeutic management.
Key principles of Ayurveda treatment for diabetes: Diabetes:
Balancing Vata dosha
Since diabetes is caused by Vata imbalance, treatments are aimed at restoring Vata with a healthy balance.
Balancing Kalpa
Using Panchakarma therapies like Basti, Vamana, and Virechana, Ayurveda eliminates excessive glucose and corrects imbalances.
Dietary regulations (Sathya-apathy)
Including foods such as amla, jamun, bitter gourd, barley, leafy greens, turmeric, Fenugreek, cinnamon, etc. Avoiding ice cream, cold drinks, processed foods, and refined wheat and white rice.
Ayurvedic therapies and remedies not only minimize the symptoms of diabetes, but they also aim to balance out the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha to create a core balance which leads to long-lasting relief from diabetes.
