Metabolic Disorders and Diabetes Mellitus

In Ayurveda, a number of metabolic disorders associated with the characteristic urinary abnormalities are included under the heading ‘Prameha’. The sanskrut word ‘Prameha’ is derived from the verb ‘Meha’, which means ‘to pass urine’. The prefix ‘Pra’ indicates intensity. Thus, the word ‘Prameha’ means passage of large quantities of urine or passage of urine with one or more components of metabolism, which may or may not be a normal constituent of urine in large amounts. Examination of urine, gives a clue to the diagnosis of the particular type of abnormality. This Text covers various topics like the basic principles of Ayurveda and the classification of metabolic disorders, pathogenesis, treatment  and its application to modern medicine.
