🔬 Understanding Diabetes in Ayurveda – What is Madhumeha?

In Ayurveda, diabetes is referred to as Madhumeha, a type of Prameha (urinary disorder), described in classical texts like Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya.

🖊 “शर्करायां मधु स्रवति यस्मिन् तं मधुमेहं प्रचक्षते।”
(Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana 6.4)
“When urine becomes sweet like honey, the condition is termed Madhumeha.”

Ayurvedic Classification:

  • Sahaja Madhumeha – Congenital or genetic (similar to Type 1 or MODY)
  • Apathyanimittaja Madhumeha – Lifestyle-induced (similar to Type 2 diabetes)

Prameha & Madhumeha Context:

Ayurveda classifies 20 types of Prameha:

  • 10 Kapha-dominant types
  • 6 Pitta-dominant types
  • 4 Vata-dominant types

Madhumeha is the most severe Vataja Prameha, often a neglected or advanced stage of the other types.

🖊 “सर्वेषां प्रमेहाणां अन्ते मधुमेहः जायते।”
(Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana 6.57)

Madhumeha as a Yapya Roga (Manageable, Not Curable):

🖊 “मधुमेहं याप्यं रोगं”
(Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana 6.57)
Madhumeha is a Yapya Roga, which means it can be managed but not completely cured.

🖊 “While Madhumeha may not have a definitive cure, Ayurveda empowers you to reverse its course through discipline, detox, and deep healing.”

🖊 “न हि प्रमेहः क्षणेनैव प्रशाम्यति। यत्नतो याप्यते दीर्घकालं चोपशाम्यति॥”
“Prameha (diabetes) does not subside instantly. With persistent effort, it can be managed over time.”


🔍 Ayurvedic Diagnostic Approach

At Adyant Ayurveda, diagnosis is individualized using:

  • Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis)
  • Mutra Pariksha (urine examination)
  • Prakriti and Vikriti Analysis (constitution and imbalance detection)

This enables precise identification of doshic imbalance and disease stage, allowing highly customized treatment.


🧬 Ayurvedic Pathogenesis (Samprapti Ghataka)

  • Doshas Involved: Kapha (primary), Vata, Pitta (secondary)
  • Dushyas (Affected Tissues): Meda, Rasa, Rakta, Majja, Mamsa, Lasika
  • Agni Dushti: Weak Jatharagni & Dhatvagni
  • Srotas Involved: Mutravaha, Medovaha, Raktavaha
  • Srotodushti Types: Sanga (obstruction), Atipravritti (excessive flow)

🖊 “प्रमेहिणां च दोषाणां सन्निपातः प्रकीर्तितः।”
(Ashtanga Hridaya, Nidana Sthana 10.1)
