Kartar Singh Bansal* and Hemlata Soni

Abstract

Madhumeha is related primarily with Mutravaha and Medovaha Srotasa but along with these many other Srotas are also involved. So it is a multisystem disorder as it involves ten Dushya and Tridosha, According to etiological factors, Clinical features and pathogenesis, Madhumeha can be correlated with Diabetes Mellitus which is most common endocrine & metabolic disorder marked by high level of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin secretion, glucose production & utilization. According to Ayurveda, Nidana for Madhumeha is excessive intake of Shleshma Vardhaka Ahara-Vihara, intake of new grains and alcohol, excessive sleep, reduced exercise and not performing any samsodhan karma (Body purifying procedures like vamana, virechana) causes Agnidushti resulting in excessive formation of Sama Meda. Nidan Parivarjana or discontinuation of the etiological factors serves as the first line of treatment in any disease and it is the most important line of treatment in Madhumeha also. Aharatmaka, Viharatmaka, Manasa & other Nidana which are responsible for causation of the diease should be avoided.
