Diabetes according to Ayurveda

• Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine prevailing since ancient times. Diabetes mellitus is referred to as “Madhumeha” in Ayurveda which literally means excessive urine with taste like honey.

• The imbalanced doshas (especially Kapha and Pitta in association of Vata) block the channels related to adipose tissue/ fat tissue and muscle.
