Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism- the way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that views health and disease as a dynamic balance between the mind, body, and spirit. According to Ayurveda, three fundamental energies govern our physical and mental health- Vata (wind), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth). An imbalance of these energies is thought to be the root cause of all diseases. According to Ayurveda practitioners, diabetes is caused by an imbalance of the wind element in the body, characterized by high levels of acidity in the body. This results in problems with metabolism, digestion, and absorption of nutrients.

Ayurvedic treatments for diabetes have been used in Kerala for many years, and recent studies have shown that they are effective in curing the disease. The state’s warm climate and abundance of Ayurvedic practitioners make it an ideal destination for those seeking this type of treatment. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to health, and its focus on balancing the body’s energies can be beneficial for those with diabetes.

As per Ayurveda, diabetes is caused by one of these reasons-

1. Blocked Paths (Avarana), due to the rise in fat levels in the body.
2. Exhaustion of tissues (Dhatukshaya)

Symptoms of Diabetes

1. Urinating a lot more than usual
2. Excessive thirst
3. Unexpected weight loss
4. Increased appetite
5. Blurry vision
6. Extreme fatigue
7. Increased sensitivity to infection

As Ayurveda is a holistic science, it not only delves into managing the disease but also alleviates the symptoms at its core.
