A Single Case Study on Madhumeha w.s.r. to Diabetes Mellitus Type II

Abstract

Over 90% of people were suffering from Diabetes Mellitus Type II, which is driven by socio- economic, demographic, environmental, and genetic factors. It is possible to reduce the impact of diabetes by taking preventive measures for type 2 diabetes and providing early diagnosis and proper care for diabetes specifically. These measures can help people healthy living without any complication. As said in Ayurveda, to lead a good life, health is priority through Ayurveda concepts it is necessary to maintain health and in case of a diseased state gaining back the normal health. It can be correlated with Madhumeha which is one of twenty types of Prameha in Ayurveda. A 39 years old male patient presented in OPD of Kesar Ayurveda & Health care, Dehradun, Uttarakhand on 25 Jan, 2026 with generalized weakness since 3-4 months. Examination, investigations and history lead to Madhumeha. The Panchakarma (Ayurvedic purification methods) claims the management of all the metabolic disorders hence this work may provide the specific evidence for the clinical studies as well. The proposed case is aimed to explore the particular mechanism and, to make this therapy more evidence based. Hence, it was hypothesized that Panchakarma‑based intervention such as Virechana Karma (therapeutic purgation) may help in the management of the Madhumeha. The study was conducted to explore the effect of Virechana Karma. So patient was treated under the Virechan karma procedure.
