An Ayurvedic Approach to Diabetes

From the research conducted by experts, it has been found that more than 1.5 million deaths happen because of diabetes, and almost 2.2 million deaths occur due to the increase in blood sugar level. In today’s society, Diabetes is one of the most commonly faced problems among individuals. In Ayurveda, it is described as madhumeha kshaudrameha which means a disease caused by a defective metabolism leading to disturbance in the body tissue transformation process. 

But thankfully, Ayurveda looks at diabetes from a holistic approach. Its medicines can effectively help people control their diabetes that too without causing any harm to the body.

What Are the Different Types of Diabetes?

Diabetes is a metabolic condition that develops when the pancreas is no longer able to develop insulin, or when the body is unable to make effective use of the insulin it contains. Failure to generate or use insulin efficiently contributes to higher blood glucose levels, also known as hyperglycemia. These elevated levels of glucose are associated with bodily injury and failure in different organs and tissues. This is what causes diabetes. Generally, there are two main types of diabetes- 

Diabetes Type 1

This type of diabetes is mostly found in adolescents and children. When a person has type 1 diabetes, his/her body releases either little or no insulin at all. In such a situation, daily insulin injections are required to maintain blood glucose level.

Diabetes Type 2 

This type of diabetes is more commonly found in middle-aged and older people. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not make full use of the insulin it develops. Type-2 diabetes rehabilitation is focused on a healthy lifestyle, including greater physical exercise and a healthy diet. People with type 2 diabetes generally require oral medications and insulin to keep their blood glucose levels under control.

What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes Type 1 & 2?

Diabetes symptoms are generally caused by rising blood sugar level, such as -

  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Increased hunger
  • Dehydration
  • Blurred vision
  • Frequent infections
  • Weight loss or gain
  • Dry mouth
  • Slow-healing wounds or cuts
  • Itching skin
  • Increased susceptibility to infections

Useful Ayurvedic Herbs for Effective Diabetes Management

The efficacy of Ayurvedic medicine in the treatment of diabetes is known for a long time. The effectiveness of herbs commonly prescribed in Ayurveda for normalising blood sugar levels has been successfully validated in several clinical trials. 

  • Gymnema Sylvestre -It is a very essential hypoglycemic component used in Ayurvedic diabetes medication. Consuming this ayurvedic herb can help stimulate insulin secretion and the regeneration of pancreas islet cells. 
  • Coccinia Indica -It is well-known for its anti-diabetic properties in Ayurveda. By controlling the degradation of starch, it helps to avoid a rapid rise of blood sugar after the intake of carbohydrates.
  • Azadirachta Indica -Its bitter leaves are useful to patients with diabetes. It is used with other anti-diabetes Ayurvedic herbs to improve glucose tolerance. 
  • Trigonella foenum -Its seeds can help a diabetic patient to improve insulin tolerance in the body.
  • Eugenia Jambolana - The fruit and seeds of Eugenia Jambolana could dramatically reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics. It activates insulin secretion.

These are some of the popular ayurvedic herbs that if consumed either in the form of ayurvedic medicine or normally can help control diabetes within months.
