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).

Soaking Walnuts: Does It Really Improve Their Health Benefits? An Ayurvedic Perspective

Many health-conscious individuals have heard about the practice of soaking nuts, particularly walnuts, to enhance their nutritional value. The common belief is that soaking removes certain anti-nutrients, improves digestibility, and boosts their health benefits. But does this claim hold true? Let’s explore both the scientific and Ayurvedic perspectives on soaking walnuts. The Modern Scientific Perspective on Soaking Walnuts One of the main arguments for soaking walnuts is their phytic acid content. Phytic acid can limit the absorption of certain minerals like iron and zinc. This is why soaking is often recommended for grains and legumes, which contain higher levels of this compound than nuts.

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. Early July continues the damp-cleansing process initiated in spring, flushing out the last of winter’s kapha residue. However, by mid to late July, this moisture gives way to dryness, leaving many of us feeling parched, irritated, and fatigued—even if the weather stays mild compared to continental Europe. This shift stresses the body’s cooling mechanisms. Your internal fluids (rasa dhatu) are depleted, and dehydra...
