iabetes mellitus was reported to be responsible for 11% of the total global adult health expenditure and 5.1 million deaths.
80% of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries. India becomes top in South East Asia region
with 65.1 Million diabetic people with a prevalence of 9.09%. Traditionally in India, Diabetes was controlled by indigenous
Ayurvedic Health Care System. In Ayurveda, the disease is diagnosed as Prameha and effectively managed by its unique
principles. Ayurveda identify various Dosha, types for
Prameha
with different prognostic considerations. Among the three
Dosha, sub-types of
Prameha
,
Kapha
is curable, Pitta is mitigatedly manageable and
Vata
is incurable. The psychosomatic
constitution (
Prakrti
) of an individual also plays an important role in progression, prognosis of disease and response to the
treatment.
Pitta prakrti
constitutions are more prone to stress and stress itself is a cause for manifestation of hyperglycemia. A
cross sectional study was carried out to find out the association of stress and hyperglycemia in Pitta predominant constitution
and it was demonstrated in the particular
Prakrity
(p<0.001). In routine clinical practices, the famous
Pitta
alleviating drug
Mahaatiktakam
decoction was found to be effective in hyperglycemia especially when associated with stress. A clinical trial
was conducted to find out the efficacy of the decoction in stress associated hyperglycemia seen in diabetic patients of
Pitta
predominant constitution and the outcome was highly significant (p<0.001). The paper attempts to explore the utility of
Dosha
and
Prakrity
based considerations in the management of diabetes mellitus through Ayurveda.
