Prediabetes is one of the major healthcare issues in the present times owing to its impact on the quality of life and risk of diabetes mellitus and other micro and macro-vascular diseases. It is a state of intermediate hyperglycemia which is a reversible state from where an individual can progress to diabetes or revert to normalcy. The reversal is majorly by employing diet modification, lifestyle management and timely detoxification and rejuvenation therapy to repair the impaired metabolism. . Prediabetes according to the Ayurvedic perspective falls under the umbrella of Santarpanottha Vikara and can be understood as the premonitory stage of Prameha i.e. Purvaroopa or a clinically reversible stage with good prognosis i.e. Kaphaja Prameha. Prameha is Kapha Pradhana Tridhoshaja Vyadhi and Shodhana is the main line of treatment in such conditions, particularly Vamana. Considering these, comparative clinical study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Vamana Karma using Madanphala (group A) and Ikshvaku (group B) in prediabetes management. Procedural and disease-specific parameters (FBS, PPBS, HbA1c) were evaluated. Following intervention, both groups exhibited a significant reduction in blood glucose levels. Group A demonstrated superior outcomes, with a mean reduction in FBS by 11.7 mg/dl, PPBS by 19.9, and HbA1c by 0.32, all statistically significant (p < 0.05).In conclusion, both interventions proved effective, but Madanaphala emerged as a preferable choice for Vamana compared to Ikshwaku, considering both Rogagnatha and Karmukata. This study highlights the potential of Ayurvedic approaches, emphasizing tailored treatments for prediabetes to mitigate its impact on individuals' well-being.
