Ayurveda describes diabetes as Madhumeha. Phlegm, heat, and toxic mucous create blockages in the pancreas, according to Ayurved, it stops the secretion of insulin resistance, which results in sugar levels in the blood or urine.
Common symptoms include feeling thirsty, urinating often, feeling hungry or tired, unexpected weight loss, dry or itchy skin, numbness and tingling sensation, and blurry vision.
There are two types of diabetes, type 1 is also called insulin-dependent diabetes which often begins in childhood, whereas type 2 diabetes is a result of insufficient production of insulin causing high blood sugar.
One has to follow a specific lifestyle according to the individual’s health history. The diabetic conditions can be treated through a natural approach of Ayurveda. Diet and lifestyle play a key role in maintaining and improving overall health.
