DIABETES TYPE 2 - AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE




The number of diabetes cases is estimated to reach a whopping 100 million by 2030.


WHAT IS DIABETES ?

A condition in which the pancreas in the body are not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body are not responding properly to the insulin produced, resulting in high levels of glucose in the blood.

DIABETES/ MADHUMEH
•        Ayurvedic scriptures dating back 5000 years have described diabetes in Sanskrit as the ’sweet urine disease’ or Madhumeha.
•         It is one among 20 types of Prameha (Urological disorder) described in various Ayurvedic classics       
AS PER AYURVEDA

        When digestive toxins start to accumulate in the system due to poor digestion, they might start to damage pancreatic cells and hamper the production of insulin. Therefore, the body is not able to use glucose correctly resulting in high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and sugar in urine (glycosuria).

Staying Cool and Balanced in July - Ayurvedic tips for July

In the UK, July brings long daylight hours, garden parties, and the promise of summer holidays. But beneath the sunny joy is a climatic and energetic transition. July marks the peak of Pitta season—when the elements of fire and water dominate the environment and our bodies. Understanding and aligning with this shift is key to staying balanced, calm, and radiant throughout the month. 🌤 Climate Shift: From Humid to Dry While the British summer is often unpredictable, July typically starts warm and muggy, especially in the South, and transitions into a drier heat by late month.

In Ayurveda, spring ( Vasanta Ritu ) is the primary season for natural detoxification and metabolic reset . This article integrates classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern clinical understanding , making it both practical and relevant for today’s healthcare landscape. 🌿 Understanding Spring Through Ayurveda Ayurveda explains that spring is governed by Kapha dosha , associated with: Heaviness Coldness Moisture Stability During winter, Kapha accumulates due to reduced activity, richer diets, and colder conditions.
