Ancient scholars of Ayurveda knew Diabetes Mellitus
some 3000 years ago. The association of frequent urination with a
sweet tasting substance in urine was first reported in Charaka Samhita,
the ancient Ayurvedic classic. Ayurveda recognized diabetes right from
the Vedic period with the name “Prameha”. The word Prameha denotes
Prabhuta Mootrata (which means excessive urination) and aavila
mootrata (turbid urine) and madhumeha, which means the flow of madhu
(sugar) from the body.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the human body is not able
to make appropriate use of glucose. This result in hyperglycemia i.e.
high blood sugar and glycosuria i.e. sugar in urine. According to
Ayurvedic physicians, diabetes occurs in twenty forms; of which ten
forms are due to Kapha; six forms of diabetes are caused by Pitta and
four forms are due to Vata. Planning the diet, regular exercise,
herbal medications and making simple changes in lifestyle are certain
remedial measures for diabetic patients. |

Allopathic drugs like insulin, sulphonylureas, and biguanides have
definitely helped in controlling the blood sugar levels and improving
the quality of life but none of them has been successful in
maintaining normal glucose levels and avoiding later stage
complications of diabetes. About 15 to 20 percent of patients with
newly diagnosed non- insulin dependent diabetes mellitus have little
or no response to sulphonylureas and with each year of treatment about
3 to5 percent of the diabetic patients who have achieved better
acceptable glycaemic control, lose their responsiveness.
At Vasudeva Ayurvedic Health Resort,
we advocate two types of therapy schedules for diabetes:
De-nourishment:
This Ayurvedic diabetic treatment is prescribed for patients if you
are obese and heavily built. In this treatment along with
anti-diabetic drugs, maximum stress is given on de-nourishment of fats
and elimination of endotoxins and various exercises, fasting and
cleansing methods, which is known as Panchakarma.
Cleansing method:
This diabetic treatment in Ayurveda is prescribed if you are
chronically ill, with low immunity and underweight due to the draining
of essential nutrients. This Ayurvedic therapy helps in providing the
easily acceptable nutrients and micronutrients to rebuild body tissues
and help strengthen the defense mechanism without increasing
circulating blood sugar, fats and other metabolites. This prevents
further damage and ensures enhanced healing. This is a very effective
treatment for diabetes.
The treatment period is 3 weeks. We
assure that the treatment provides relief from giddiness, weakness,
pain in legs, body pain etc associated with diabetes.
