WHAT IS DIABETES ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

We have a very mechanical life in today’s world. Our lives are largely dictated by technology, which causes us to become inactive and sedentary. To go along with our sedentary lifestyle, we eat a diet that is high in processed foods, fast food, and sugary beverages, all of which are bad for our health.<\/span>
<\/span>In our previous article, we discussed what causes diseases generally<\/a>. We gave you examples of how we can trigger an imbalance in our bodies, which can lead to a variety of illnesses and diseases. Diabetes, for example, is referred to in Ayurveda as “Prameha<\/strong>.“<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes is caused by an abnormal amount of glucose in the blood, also known as high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. When blood sugar levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream. It is described as a metabolic condition in which an individual has high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, either as a result of insufficient insulin output, or as a result of the body’s cells failing to respond properly to the generated insulin, or both!<\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes is generally divided into two types:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

  1. \n

    Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus <\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, causing blood sugar and glucose levels to rise. Urination is frequent, thirst is intense, hunger is intense, and weight loss is rapid.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. <\/span>Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus<\/span><\/i> <\/b><\/h4>\n

    \u00a0<\/b>This usually happens as we get older or gain weight. Even though the body produces insulin, its sensitivity is reduced to a minimum in this situation, and it does not respond as well as it should. Fatigue, vision disturbance, and slow wound and cut healing are all signs that are close to Type 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Prameha, which means “Obstinate Urinary Disease” in English, is a group of diseases described in Ayurveda. This category includes all disorders involving the urinary system, such as excessive urination, diabetes, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In Ayurveda, diabetes is classified into 20 forms based on the dominant Doshas in the body. This equates to four Vata-related types, six Pitta-related types, and ten Kapha-related types. If Prameha is not treated, it develops into \u201cMadumeha,\u201d or Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2).<\/span><\/p>\n
