Diabetes, a silent killer gives rise to a wide variety of health problems from blindness to kidney diseases to nerve damage. It is also called as \u201cLifestyle Disorder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Ayurveda Diabetes is referred as \u201cMadhumeha\u201d. It is a Sanskrit term that literally means \u201cSweet urine disease\u201d. It is a metabolic Kapha type of disorder. Due to unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, Kapha dosha gets aggravated giving rise to Mandagni (low digestive fire). It leads to Vata and Pitta dosha imbalance and derangement in body tissues (Dhatu). Body tissue functioning gets affected and body is unable to make a proper use of glucose resulting in Hyperglycemia (High blood sugar) and Glycosuria (Sugar in urine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
