Patients with type 2 diabetes and the global healthcare system as a whole are very concerned about this condition. Additionally, India is home to a almost 1/4th portion of the world’s diabetes patients, making it the diabetic capital.
Modern medicine offers fast-acting or allopathic medication options, but these drugs address symptoms rather than the underlying cause. Allopathic treatment is based to drugs which have significant side effects over the time.
Ayurveda, yoga, and naturopathy offer a more comprehensive and systemic approach to restoring blood sugar balance, which often reverses the progression of disease in its early stages. Using yoga principles, classical Ayurvedic texts, and integrative lifestyle practices that focus on:
-
Mental balance
-
Tissue nourishment
-
Toxin removal
-
Agni (digestive fire)
An Ayurvedic View of Blood Sugar
According to the classical Ayurvedic texts, diabetes mellitus is linked to “Madhumeha,” a subtype of Prameha in which sweet urine, or madhu-mutrata, is caused by systemic metabolic dysfunction. It usually occurs by:
-
Stress
-
Inactivity
-
Sedentary eating patterns
-
Inefficient waste elimination
The disease is caused by:
-
Poor digestion
-
The accumulation of Ama (metabolic toxins)
-
Disruption of the Kapha and Vata doshas
-
Malfunction of the Medovaha Srotas (channels involved in fat metabolism)
This causes Ojas, the force that provides life and immunity, to progressively decrease, which in turn causes complications of diabetes mellitus.
Blood Sugar Regulating Ayurvedic Herbs
Classical Ayurvedic pharmacology recommends the use of herbs that:
-
Detoxify the body
-
Rectify metabolism
-
Balance doshas
Some key examples include:
-
Gudmar (Madhunashini or the “sugar destroyer”) – Decreases the absorption of sugar and improves pancreatic function.
-
Karela (bitter gourd) – Contains bioactive compounds that can help reduce blood sugar spikes and have effects similar to insulin.
-
Jamun seeds – Long used to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
-
Guduchi (Giloy) – Known for its restorative qualities, improves tissue metabolism and controls immunity.
-
Neem – Its bitter and purifying properties help reduce inflammation and blood sugar.
These herbs may be used as:
-
Powders
-
Decoctions
-
Standardized extracts
…depending on the patient’s constitution and the severity of the ailment.
