Diabetes
At Rudra Ayurvedic Clinic, we understand diabetes as more than just a sugar imbalance. It is a deep-rooted metabolic disorder affecting multiple systems in the body.
In Ayurveda, diabetes is known as Madhumeha, derived from Madhu (honey) and Meha (urine), reflecting the presence of sweetness in urine.
Madhumeha is classified under Prameha, a group of urinary disorders caused by:
- Kapha and Vata imbalance
- Weak Agni (digestive fire)
- Ama (toxin) accumulation
- Medo Dhatu Dushti – faulty fat and sugar metabolism
- Depletion of Ojas – lowered vitality and immunity
Recognise the Signals Early
Ayurveda and modern medicine interpret diabetes through different lenses. While modern diagnostics rely on blood sugar and insulin markers, Ayurveda focuses on early doshic and metabolic shifts.
Understanding both helps address the root cause before complications arise.
Physical Symptoms (As per modern understanding):
- Frequent urination (polyuria)
- Excessive thirst (polydipsia)
- Fatigue and low energy
- Unexplained weight loss or gain
- Slow wound healing, skin dryness
- High fasting/post-meal blood sugar
Ayurvedic Observations (Rooted in dosha imbalance):
- Madhumeha – excess sweet urine due to Vata-Kapha imbalance
- Dryness and loss of Ojas (vital essence)
- Agni weakness and nutrient malabsorption
- Ama accumulation and impaired tissue regeneration
- Deranged Rasa and Rakta Dhatu (plasma and blood)
What does the research say?
Herbal Support
Herbs like Gymnema (Gudmar) and Vijaysar have shown blood sugar-lowering properties by improving insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. They are well-tolerated and used across Ayurvedic formulations.
Digestive Support
Triphala and Amla support digestion, clear Ama (toxins), and help balance Medo Dhatu (fat metabolism), aiding long-term sugar control and tissue nourishment.
Lifestyle Changes
Ayurvedic routines including Dinacharya (daily practices), yoga, pranayama, and mindful eating restore circadian rhythm and improve glucose metabolism, reducing insulin resistance naturally.
