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).
