Contd…

Nidana panchaka helps in prevention - before

manifestation of disease or avoids further progression
after onset of disease.
Contd…

• As explained earlier, ahara vihara, manasika nidana

leads to madhumeha.
• Everything is due to disturbance in the agnivyapara/
metabolism abnormality.
• Concept –insulin – remains untouched ,but concept
of agni –includes –all enzymes/harmones responsible
for metabolism.
Contd…

Therefore the verse which explains

“Hitahitam sukham dukham……..”

cha.su.1.

Should be understood properly.

Eg:
Guru, snigdha, madhura ahara
and drava annapana.
i.e. Rich or heavy diet/ rich protein
diet decreases fat use and dietinduced
thermogenesis.
Rich diet aided with sweetened
drinks(coco and north dish) further
decreases fat use and diet induced
thermogenesis.
Sura/alchohol:
Decreases body fat burning
ability by 73%.

Excess alchohol-forms
acetaldehyde .

Metabolism works hard to

detoxify it rather burning
calories.
Contd…

Diwaswpa /swapna sukha /

Alasya/Ekasthanasana.

Decreased metabolic activity.

Elevated fat store and glucose

level.
.
Contd….

Present trend of food habits.

Refined foods:
The Metabolism becomes
more active and work hard for
breaking down the nutrients and
ends up in excess sugar and fat
store.
Contd…

Yoghurt-
Less protein in body ends up in
breaking down muscles to
access the nutrients .

less muscle mass and disturbs

the metabolism.
Contd…

Restorant fried food: Gives guilty pleasure

Fried in trans fats/partial hydrogenated oil
Leads to abdominal obesity and weight
gain.

Frozen meals:
Loaded with sodium , hydrogenated oil
etc and packed tray with BPA ends up in
weight gain ,disturbed metabolism.
Contd…

Farmed Beef:

Alters the bacterial flora

of gut leads to disturbed
digestion.
 Stress
Acute:

feeding suppression.

HPA AXIS .

CRH release anorexigenic effects.

Contd…

Chronic stress over consumption

Increased visceral adiposity and weight gain.

It may be due to chronic release of Glucocorticoids

and neuropeptides.
Contd…

Due to indulgence in nidana –whenever patient

approaches :

Differentiate with raktapitta .

Diagnose- madhumeha.
And categories it.
Contd…

1)According to vyadhi bheda.

• Adibala Pravrutta--genetically influenced :

Pumsavana and sadvritta palana.

• Janmabala Pravrutta-rasakruta –pregnant ladies

habits-juvenile diabetes : Pathya ahara,vihara.
Contd…

• Doshabala Pravrutta- amsahaya and pakwashaya

samutha.
Agni vyaishamya - normalize the agni .

• Sanghatabala Pravrutta-external – injury instrumental

/ animal—viral DM—krimija?.
Contd…

• Kalabala Pravrutha-seasonal variations –agni

vaishamya.

• Daivabala Pravrutta - external factors - sudden /

communicated bacterial/ infectious origin—treat
accordingly.

• Swabhavabala Pravrutta -untime schedule—

gestational - samskrita ahara vihara.
Contd…

2)Sahaja:
• Mata pitru beeja doshakrit.
Generally such patient will be krusha, alpa ahara
ashini, bhramana sheela : samskrita ahara vihara.
• Apathya nimittaja:
Due to ahita ahara vihara , just opposite to sahaja
madhumeha : pathya ahara sevana.
Contd…

3) If a person passes excess and turbid urine:

• Dhatu kshayaja-vata.
• Over nourishment –kapha.

4)Sthoola –balavan—samshodhana- after samshodhana

santarpna/rasayana.
• Krusha-paridurbala-sa bruhmanam.
 According to Gender?

Streenam prameha na bhavanti iti,

tatha |
Rajah prasekam narinam masi masi

Dalhana ||(esrogen-
protein anabolism)..
Contd…

• Research findings suggest that girls with youth-onset

diabetes may need the additional intervention above
and beyond their diabetes treatment to improve their
menstrual health.( medical press endocrine society-
2018).
• Long periods-type 2 diabetes.
(ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles)
Contd ….

• Among women with oligomenorrhea before diagnosis

of diabetes, the frequency of type 2 diabetes was
significantly higher in obese subjects than in their
non-obese counterparts.
• Several studies have reported an increased prevalence
of amenorrhea and other menstrual irregularities in
diabetic women.
Contd…

• Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are also

associated with having an irregular menstrual cycle.
• The mechanism of insulin action on the ovaries leads
to hyperinsulinemia resulting in excessive androgen
production, leading to menstrual cycle disturbances
and decreased fertility rates(DMJ journal).
Contd…

• Patient may visit first ayush centre without any aid of

modern drugs or with treatment of modern medicine
like oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin etc.
• Concept of treatment should encircle around to
achieve near normal metabolism and closer glucose
control kept normal.
Contd…
