How does Ayurveda explain diabetes, and what are the best treatments? - #12799
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year, and while I have been managing it with diet and exercise, my sugar levels are still unstable. I recently started looking into diabetes in Ayurveda, and I want to understand how it differs from modern medical approaches. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda classifies diabetes as "Madhumeha," a condition caused by imbalances in Kapha and Pitta doshas. But how does this perspective help in naturally managing blood sugar levels? Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs like Vijaysar, Madhunashini, and Jamun that actually help lower sugar levels, or do they work more on improving insulin sensitivity? Another thing I want to know is whether Ayurvedic diabetes treatment focuses only on herbal remedies, or if it also includes detox therapies like Panchakarma for better blood sugar control. Has anyone successfully reversed or managed diabetes through Ayurveda, and what worked best for you?
