Diabetes mellitus, also known as Diabetes is a metabolic disease which causes elevation in blood glucose levels. The hormone insulin transfers sugar from the blood to the cells, which is stored and used for energy supply. In diabetic conditions, the body either does not produce insulin adequately or is not able to use the produced insulin effectively. If diabetes is left untreated, it may cause damage to nerves, eyes, kidneys and other organs.
“Madhumeha” is the term for Diabetes in Ayurveda, which means ‘Sweet urine’. The manifestation of diabetes is through thirst or urination. According to Ayurveda, Kapha Dosha is responsible for Diabetes, as Kapha disorders are related to obesity and is triggered with over consumption of sweet food or increase in ingestion of Kapha impacting foods. When there is intake of such foods, the poor pancreatic function increases Kapha in the stomach, which leads to turbidity or frequent urination.
Further, Diabetes mellitus is caused due to accumulation of Vata Dosha. Vata dosha accumulates in the large intestine and travels to the pancreas, which hampers its functioning.
Sometimes, Pitta Dosha also leads to diabetes. This is when Pitta gets accumulated in the small intestine before moving to the liver and may cause damage to pancreas. As the main constituent of Pitta is Agni, it burns out pancreas leading to Diabetes.
If the above things are taken into consideration, the treatment of Diabetes in Ayurveda starts with proper cleansing of the body and balancing of doshas. The treatment is based on a person's body composition and which dosha is dominant. The treatments like Dhara, Udwarthanam, Thalam, etc are followed to reverse diabetes. The treatment also includes Panchakarma and Keraleeya procedures to address the root cause of disease. We have seen many patients successfully reversing Diabetes and now living a healthy life.
Pre Diabetes is a condition in which the blood glucose is higher than normal, but not much that it can be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. In this condition, the cells in the body do not respond properly to insulin, and so, the pancreas tries to make more insulin to get the cell's response. This further makes it difficult for pancreas to keep up, and thus, blood sugar levels rise, setting a pre-diabetic stage.
EliteAyurveda treatment for diabetes in its early stages focuses on avoiding additional blood sugar rises by dietary and lifestyle changes, as well as herbal remedies. This eliminates the need for injections for the rest of one's life and considerably minimizes the chance of organ damage later on. Diabetes Reversal is achievable in many cases.
Chronic diabetes includes type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In this, the body is either unable to produce adequate insulin or is not able to use the produced insulin. When this is the case, the glucose remains in the bloodstream, and over a period of time starts causing health problems.
Chronic diabetes treatment focuses on lowering insulin dosages while controlling blood sugar levels and maintaining a high metabolism to avoid lethargy. To revitalize the body and prevent additional complications, certain herbs and Rasayanas are recommended. Diabetes Reversal is achievable in many cases.
In this stage of diabetes, the blood sugar levels are abnormally high due to insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction. Further, it causes damage within the vascular system leading to complications like albuminuria, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral neuropathy and stroke.
Treatment for advanced stage cancer, particularly for those with comorbidities (complications), focuses on increasing overall quality of life with individualized Rasayanic treatment, diets, and modest lifestyle changes. A special importance is given on reducing the risk of additional deterioration.
“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”

The hormone insulin transfers sugar from the blood to the cells, which is stored and used for energy supply. In diabetic conditions, the body either does not produce insulin adequately or is not able to use the produced insulin effectively.
Diabetes is mainly seen in people who are overweight, obese and have an inactive lifestyle. The above cause accounts for over 90% of people with diabetes.
The early symptoms of diabetes are- fatigue, hunger, peeing more often, thirsty, dry mouth, itchy skin, slow healing of cuts and wounds, tingling in hands and feet, and blurred vision.
Food stuffs like- sugar-sweetened beverages (juice, soda, sweet tea, sports drinks) sweeteners (table sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, molasses) processed foods (chips, microwave popcorn, processed meat, convenience meals) trans fats (vegetable shortening, fried foods, dairy-free coffee creamers, partially hydrogenated oil)—lead to diabetes.

The herbs like giloy, vijaysar, gumar, sadabahar, cinnamon, turmeric, etc. are good in the condition of diabetes.
Yes, you can. Proper lifestyle management along with intake of pacifying the effects of affecting doshas, boosting metabolism and clearing toxins from the body, helps in reversal of the diabetic condition.
On an empty stomach, drink a glass of water and a teaspoon of jamun seed powder every morning. At night, place one cup of water in a copper jar and consume it in the morning.
Diabetes patients can benefit from methi Dana water by lowering their blood sugar levels. It includes fiber, which aids in delaying digestion and controlling carbohydrate and sugar absorption. Fenugreek water also aids in the improvement of your body's sugar utilization.
