Abstract:-

Diabetes ‘The Silent Killer’ is projected to be seventh leading cause of death in 2030 as per WHO. Prevalence of diabetes in India also rises rapidly thus, India is considered as Diabetic capital of the world. In long term, patients of diabetes suffer from lot of complications such as Diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardio myopathy etc. In Ayurveda Diabetes Mellitus comes under the umbrella of ‘Prameha’ which is included among the ‘Ashtamahagada’. One of the unique features of Prameha is the involvement of multiple Dooshya’s in its Samprapti. Various Dooshyas related with all the three Dosha’s will manifest in 20 types of Prameha’s. Due to involvements of multiple Doodhya’s there are number of Upadrava’s associated with Prameha. All the Prameha’s if not treated will terminally become Vataja Prameha with definite signs of Dhatushaya and Oja kshaya called as Madhumeha. Thus in present study literary research has been done to study etio pathogenesis, complications of Prameha (Diabetes mellitus) and its Ayurvedic management.  Different treatment modalities in Ayurveda will help to prevent the complications of the Prameha and especially Shodhana Chikitsa (Panchakrma) is very beneficial.

Key Words: Diabetic retinopathy, Nephropathy, Neuropathy etc
