Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda is from an ancient Hindu word that means science of life. It originated in India and continues to be used by millions of people worldwide. The principles of Ayurveda state that a person comprises body, mind, and spirit, with health being the holistic union of the three. Ayurveda focuses on healthy living with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Pra means excess of urine in both frequency and volume. Prameha, thus, becomes self-explanatory and holds the twin meanings of "Prabhutha-mutratha" or excessive urination and "Avil-mutratha" or turbid urine. According to Ayurveda, Prameha (diabetes) is a tridoshajavyadhi. However the predominance of anyone dosha and dooshya enables its classification into Vataja, Pitaja, & Kaphaja Pramehas. They are further sub classified into 20 sub categories. Any of the prameha (urinary disorder) if neglected ultimately it ends up in Madhumeha due to nature of the illness. In modern science, Madhumeha can be corelated with Diabetes mellitus and is one of the cardinal problems in the medical profession because it cannot be cure but some extent controlled. Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin.The Ayurvedic treatment for this disease is based on an entire change in the lifestyle of the person & on the individual constitution. Along with medication and diet, the patient is also advised to lead a healthy lifestyle and live an active life. Dietary and lifestyle changes rejuvenate the body’s cells and tissues, allowing them to produce insulin properly.
