ayurvedic treatment for diabetes

[ayurvedayogashram]

In diabetes, the body does not process properly and use certain
foods, especially fats and carbohydrates. Glucose is a simple sugar
that is the main source of energy for the body's cells. The human body
normally converts carbohydrates to glucose. To enter cells glucose
needs the help of insulin which is a hormone produced by the pancreas.
When a person doesn't make enough insulin, or the body is unable to
use the insulin that is present, the body can't process the glucose,
and it builds up in the bloodstream. The presence of high levels of
glucose in the blood or urine is usually a clear sign of diabetes.
Over a period of time, unhealthy changes can occur in different body
organs of a person with diabetes, including damage to the kidneys.

People with pre-diabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher
than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. This
condition raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart
disease, and stroke.

Diabetes is a disorder of the body's metabolism. It is a chronic
health condition where the body is unable to produce insulin and
properly break down sugar (glucose) in the blood. As a result, the
level of sugar in the blood is increases very much. Body can't convert
food into energy because of a lack of insulin, or because of an
inability to use insulin. When we eat, the pancreas automatically
produces the right amount of insulin to move glucose from blood into
our cells. In people with diabetes, however, the pancreas either
produces little or no insulin, or the cells do not respond
appropriately to the insulin that is produced.

Different types of diabetes
Type 1 - Juvenile onset Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is also known as
insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM), tends to occur in young adults and
children. In Type 1 diabetes, the body produces little or no insulin.
People with IDDM must receive daily insulin injections.

Type 2 - Adult onset Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is also known as non-
insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), usually develops in people over
the age of forty. It may also develop in people who are overweight.
Many are not aware that they have the disease. The pancreas produces
close to normal amounts of insulin, but the body is unable to use it
properly. Many people with Type 2 diabetes do not respond normally to
their own or to injected insulin - this is called insulin resistance.

Ayurveda & Diabetes
According to Ayurveda the balance of 3 energies- Vata, Pitta and Kapha
(Kinetic, Thermal and Potential energy) in the body is a disease free
state whereas their imbalance causes diseases. In Ayurveda, imbalance
in Vata and Kapha is considered as root cause of diabetes. Herbs in
our kit control bothVata and Kapha and thus good in controlling sugar
levels. In the mostly cases agni is almost diminished
