Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels, either due to the body's inability to produce enough insulin or its inability to effectively use the insulin it produces. Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine, offers a comprehensive and natural approach to managing diabetes by addressing the root causes of the disease—imbalances in the body's energy systems (doshas), poor digestion (agni), and accumulation of toxins (ama).
In Ayurveda, diabetes is referred to as Prameha (a condition characterized by excessive urination and thirst) and is closely linked to imbalances in the Kapha dosha, which governs fat, water retention, and the stability of the body. The Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes aims to restore the balance of the doshas, regulate blood sugar levels, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and prevent complications associated with the disease.
A warm oil massage using herbal oils helps improve circulation, reduce stress, and balance Vata and Kapha, promoting overall wellness and blood sugar regulation.
Steam therapy helps open the channels in the body and promotes detoxification. It also aids in weight management and reduces the buildup of excess fat.
Basti therapy helps detoxify the lower digestive tract and improve the function of the kidneys, liver, and pancreas. It is particularly helpful in managing Kapha-related conditions like diabetes.
This helps detoxify the liver and intestines, promoting better digestion and elimination of toxins from the body. It helps balance Kapha and Pitta, which is essential for diabetes management.
