2. A step towards healing
Sharing of the information of Madhumeha in
front of many intellectuals of Ayurveda is a
Herculean Task
Gnosis of Diabetes makes ones to attend it
either curative or prophylaxes forms.
Nosology of Madhumeha is necessary to
manage it full length.
Apart from many classifications - Susruta 7
fold classification has much importance to
understand the disease Madhumeha.

4. Adibala Pravrutta
Matruja Madhumeha – probably developed because of
Matruja beeja avayava Medo vikruti – kostanga – kloma
(Pancreas-?)
Pitruja Madhumeha – Asthi beeja avayava – Acetylcholine –
citrus acid cycle disturbance – neo glycolysis - ketone bodies
Genetically influenced Madhumeha – where Beeja – Beeja
bhaaga avayava are influenced to give rise MM child
The genetics and involvement of Genes are even though not
new – medically to treat a patient of Shisava MM is not
possible.
But “Eugenics” – is provided by the Ayurveda to combat the
disease to eradicate or to avoid “predominance” of Beeja –
Pumsavana - sadvrutta etc.
Apart from this the colonial prophylaxis management as –
Atulya Grotriya is followed.

Rasakruta MM is, where mother irregular food
habits or lack of food or incapacities of taking food
leaves an impression over the baby to develop
accumulation of food for future use habituated to
develop as Juvenile DM. – 2nd World war impression
over German population
Douhrudapacharaja literally mother’s deviated
habits influence the baby for deranged segregations
of Shareera Kleda (Blood Sugar) to develop JDM as
result of impaired metabolic functions

Shastra (armed fight) and Vyala

exogenous causes of MM
Viral DM is said to be a new invention
in contemporary but the Krimija MM
even though not classified, its
existence is proved through usage of
Anti retroviral management in MM.

8. Kalabala Pravrutta
Seasonal influences are common in
manifestation of disease. This cause Agni
disturbances. The MM of seasonal variations
dependent on food habits which are of external
causes implies influence on shareera kleda to
cause Amashaya samutha MM with apakwa rasa
kleda. In some seasons sugar levels alters to
high and low even – as we see in summer
hypoglycemia – so as the usage of madhura rasa

14. Murphy's Fourth Law states that - If there
is a possibility of several things going
wrong, the one that will cause the most
damage will be the one to go wrong.
“Management” rather than “treatment”, is
the appropriate term in MM/DM, and
involves diet, regulations, exercise,
insulin, oral hypoglycemic, patient
education and counseling.

16. Prabhoota (more than 4 Anjali - Dushya
dravibhootata) – Avila (Samala) - Madhura
(Kleda- Ojas) Mootra as common symptoms are
developed due to – Shareera kleda (blood
sugar) added to urine as – glycosuria is
“Pratyatma Niyata Lakshana” requires
management
Usually the MM patient is with – impaired Agni
where in pathology has transformed meda as
mootra and the tejas of it augment Kleda with
Abhishyanna Deha – Drava Pradhana deha

17. In a nut shell - Ahara consumed
Absorbed from Amashaya (Madhura rasa ahara) = Amashaya
samutha MM = Vamana indicated
Food absorbed and transformed at Pakwashaya (Madhura
vipaka ahara) = Pakwashaya samutha MM = Virechana
indicated
Rasa nimittaja or santarpana janya or Apathya nimittaja MM is
pathological state of excess rasa in shareera as (Dhatu
vruddhi) understood as intracellular glucose excess (many
times we are not considering this condition)
Excess is mala always – so the excess rasa from the dhatu is
brought in to system (interstitial glucose excess) to name as –
Shareera Kleda (Blood glucose)
Shareera kleda along with “Apdhatu” is filtered by Mootravaha
srotas to get Madhura Mootra where the re-absorption
capacities of “Vrukka” or Shareera is failed
Excess kleda (glucose) attracts 16 molecules of water so as
to get Prabhoota and Avila Mootra in MM – thus the
Baddhamootra drvaya along with Amedaskara as palliative
management
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 17
22. Pathya Vihara
To have walk as much as possible
traveling on elephants, horses
different plays and games
different forms of marshal arts practice
roaming in different places other than
temples
using umbrella
Following “Sadvrutta”
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 22
23. Apathya in Madhumeha
(High caloric diet)
Aahara: Jala, Milk, Ghee, Oils, Curd, Sugar,
Different types of rice preparations, anupa,
gramya and audaka mamsa, Ikshurasa,
Pishtanna, Navanna.
Vihara: Eksthana asana, Divaswapa,
Dhoompana, Sweda, Raktamoksha,
Mutravega dharana.

27. Revalidation of Management
Two entities viz. Shareera Kleda Vruddhi
(Hyperglycemia) and Madhura Mutra
(Glycosuria) are specific w.s.r. to Madhumeha
management.
Increase in blood glucose depends upon the
tolerance and threshold of body and the action
counter depends upon the Vikara vighata bhava
in the body
Urine out put with sugar is lack of re absorption
capacity of kidney
The management is proposed - based upon the
level of pathology embedded in Amashaya
(Pancreatic) or Pakwashaya (Renal) influence
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 27
28. In Amashaya Samutha MM –
Excess glucose absorption from Amashaya because of –
Navanna, Guda vikruti etc. makes initially temporary
increase of glucose levels there by the Santarpanotha
vikara MM develops.
The MM from Amashaya is combated from regulating
food – use of Pathya Ahara and medicines that inhibit the
absorption of glucose from stomach
Best example to block glucose absorption is “Indrayava”
and “Apamarga Tandula”
Here the importance of Vata regulation plays an important
role in terms of regulating the pancreas.
We should not only see that the shareera kleda is re
absorbed from Henley's loop but also re absorption from
gut – which could be controlled by controlling the
Vyanavata
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 28
29. Pakwashaya Samutha MM is a condition which
is developed because of the post digestive
metabolism or protein/fat transformation or at the
interference of Citrus acid cycle which in turn
excreted through kidney
Mainly the action which regulate the fat
metabolism and additional glucose release in to
the blood as “Shareera Kleda” has to be
controlled by either burning it or eliminating it.
Here the management which is said is –
Virechana – Mootra virechana. Such as Asana –
Pashanabheda – Punarnava etc. along with
Anulomana – Virechana for Vata
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 29
30. Krimija Madhumeha – a uncommon name –
practically observed should be treated by the
Krimihara – pramehahara – medohara –
Brumhana – Amedskara such as – (used in
Prameha & Madhumeha management)
Nisha – Amalaki – Akuli combination
The drugs such as – Vidanga etc.
The drugs acting on skin – Manjista etc

31. Dhatukshaya janya MM managed with the Dhatu
Pusti kara bhavas
Avaranajanya MM treated by controlling Vata
Chintajanya MM pacified by controlling Vata,
counseling and relieving from causative factors
Vastijanya MM (Hexosis) (defect of Hexose
transport or active Na+-glucose co-transporters
(SGLT) and the facilitative glucose transporters)
even though not new a condition, where the
glycosuria is observed with out rise of blood sugar –
shareera kleda because of filter disturbances in the
kidney
In the management of MM the role of Vanga and
Vatsaka are memorable
13-8-2007 doctorksrprasad@gmail.com 31
32. Present trends of utilising hypoglycemic
agents to regulate the disease may give
temporary hypoglycemic conditions but the
understanding of the “Vikara Vighata Bhava”
and utilising them in right way offers the MM
management in full length.
Much to confer on Madhumeha and Diabetes
and to unveil – a never end saga
