Patient background:
A male patient aged around 57 years approached Adyant Ayurveda with the concern of raised blood sugar levels, tested randomly during a routine blood check. The 3 months average HbA1c values was 8.2, associated with complaints of frequent urination, sweating and improper bowel movements.
- Appetite: N

- Prakruti: Vata kapha
- Weight: 75kg
- Diet was improper with irregular timings of meal, lack of exercise, low stress levels.
- No h/o previous illness
- No family h/o Diabetes, Hypertension or cardiac issues.
Guideline:
The patient underwent Panchakarma Virechana for 15 days, with a proper ama pachana with panchakola churna as purvakarma, snehapana with panchatikta ghrita for 4 days, bahya snehana with ksheera bala taila, swedana and a thorough purgation on 15th day. He was advised a 5 day sansarjana krama and was given a detailed diet and lifestyle modification.
Along with virechana, internal medications like chandraprabha, punarnava, curcumin were advised for a course of 8 weeks.
Outcome:
The patient noted significant reduction in weight, reduced frequency of urination, reduction in sweating and proper bowel movements.
After the completion of virechana and 8 weeks of internal medications, the blood tests were done, the HbA1c levels were 5.6.
A significant impact on raised blood sugar levels was noted with Virechana which worked as a catalyst to accelerate the results.
However the patient is advised to continue the medications and get the HbA1c values checked every 3 months once.
A strict diet and lifestyle modification are also advised.
Conclusion:
Panchakarma Virechana is a very impactful therapy in the management of Diabetes. A properly planned protocol of medications, diet and lifestyle modification, along with stress management will help maintain and paves a path for reversal.
