Abstract

The 21st century has become the Era of Non-communicable diseases, ie., Lifestyle disorders and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common among them. The level of morbidity and mortality due to Diabetes and its potential complications are enormous, and pose significant healthcare burden on both families and society. In 2019, 9.3% of the world’s population, adults aged 20-79 years are living with Diabetes. India has 8.9% of its population, aged 20-79 years with Diabetes in 2019. Madhumeha can be correlated to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is Vataja type of Pramēha and predominantly has Bahu drava Sleshma and Bahu abaddha Meda in its Samprapti. Vamana and Vasti are two such procedures which help in Samprapti Vighatana of Madhumeha. Hence, the present topic is a comparative clinical study to assess the efficacy of Vamana with Dhānvañtara Ghṛta Snēhapāna and Mustādi Rāja Yāpana Vasti in the management of Madhumēha. Methods: In the present study, 60 patients of Madhumeha were selected and placed randomly in 2 groups, A and B with 30 patients in each group. Group A was treated with Dhānvañtara Ghṛta Snēhapāna followed by Vamana Karma with Madanaphala Kalpa Yoga. Group B was treated with Mustādi Rāja Yāpana Vasti for 8 days in Yapana Vasti format. Results: Both the groups showed statistically significant results. However, the effect of Group A was better than Group B in all the parameters except Pindikodveshtana and Daurbalya. Conclusion: The results conclude that Dhānvañtara Ghṛta Snēhapāna followed by Vamana Karma with Madanaphala Kalpa Yoga (Group A) is observed as best for Madhumēha without causing any Adverse Drug Reactions and may prove itself as a strong solution to Madhumēha.
