Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has now become most common among all the diseases in present era. In India, this disease is increasing rapidly and it seems that India is going to be capital of diabetes in next coming years. It can be correlated with Madhumeha in Ayurveda. In Charaka samhita, Madhumeha has been described as a type of Vataja prameha which is characterized by passing of honey like urine in excess amount. Panchakarma (fivefold therapeutic) methods of Ayurveda have immense potential in context of tackling lifestyle disorders like Madhumeha. Panchakarma is major Ayurvedic purificatory and detoxification treatment. Here Panchakarma procedures like Basti (colon treatment) and some other procedures like Takra dhara and Udvartana also mentioned in treatment of diabetes mellitus. Panchakarma in the management of Diabetes Mellitus stands far beyond mere glucose control. Present paper highlights on role of Panchakarma in the management of Madhumeha.
