Role of Aahar in prameh as a preventive measure and as a treatment- A conceptual study

Abstract

About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes. The majority of people having diabetes are living in low and middle income countries. 1.5 million Deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year. Ayurveda had well-explained about ayurveda well before 5000 years. In this article I had explained diet with its proper qualities, which can help to prevent and treat diabetes. Diet with more sweet, sour, salty taste and hot, oily, sticky, heavy character enhances prameha symptoms. Diet with dry, light, with all rasa, helps to cure prameha. Yava, honey, bitter vegetables, wood apple, bitter cucumber, small grains, old cereals, play key role to reduce diabetes symptom, and also to break the dibetes formation chain. To follow diet rules as explained in Charaka vimansthan are also very important in case of prameha.
