ABSTRACT

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), correlated as Madhumeha in Ayurveda, is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, polyuria, and associated systemic complications. This case study reports the Ayurvedic management of a 43-year-old female patient presenting with Madhumeha, hypothyroidism, and fatty liver. The patient exhibited classical diabetic symptoms including polyuria, polydipsia, dysuria, and recurrent headache. Ayurvedic interventions focused on balancing Kapha and Vata dosha, correcting Agni (digestive fire), and clearing obstructions in Mutravaha srotas (urinary channels). Ayurvedic formulations comprising Gurmar (Gymnema sylvestre), Karela (Momordicacharantia), Neem (Azadirachtaindica), and Jamun (Syzygiumcumini) were administered, selected based on their Rasapanchaka properties of Tikta and Kashaya rasa, Laghuguna, and Katuvipaka, which collectively regulate blood glucose metabolism, stimulate insulin secretion, and detoxify the body. After three months of treatment, marked clinical and biochemical improvements were noted. Symptomatic relief included reduction of polyuria and polydipsia, complete resolution of dysuria and headache, and enhanced overall well-being. Biochemical analysis revealed a significant reduction in HbA1c from 11.3% to 6.2%, reflecting improved glycaemic control. This case underscores the importance of Ayurvedic principles with contemporary medical understanding to develop sustainable, patient-centered approaches for diabetes care. Further clinical studies and research with larger cohort is recommended to validate these findings.
