Madhumeha is stated as a condition, where the patient is afflicted with honey like micturition. It is also expressed as one among the Vatadosha predominant Prameha exasperating medodhatu. In the nidansthan of Susrut samhita it’s announced as an incurable consequence to all Pramehas, those who are therapeutically neglected. Acharya Charak decodes Madhumeha as an upshot of Ojakshaya. Amidst the controversies regarding the word Prameha & Madhumeha, acharya Charkrapani comments them as synonymous to each-other & also signifies the word Madumeha which denotes all the Pramehas specifying Madhumeha just as the word “Trina (grass)” refers to trina in general & also as the specific one in the Chikitsasthan, Carak samhita. Starting from etio-pathophysiology to the clinical manifestations a Madhumehi has much-more in common to share with that of the hormone Insulin affiliating metabolic disarray, Diabetes mellitus (DM). Countless herbal medicines & formulations apart from other treatment modalities have been narrated meticulously in most of the classical treaties for remedying Madhumeha-Prameha by restituting Oja-Medodhatu-Vatadosha and to recoup the rest dosa-dusyas especially Vasa-Lasika-SharijaKledo; since in Indriyasthan of Carak Samhita, Madhumeha is designated as irremediable in case of Balamamsakshaya (i.e loss of strength-&-muscles). Formulated or solitarily herbs like Amalaki-Haridra from the Shrestha/Agrayadravyas; other drugs viz. Guduchi, Kiratatikta, Meshasringi, Vidanga, Parijata, Pippali etc. including some Visha-Upavishas like Bhallatak-Dhatura etc. convey the Agnideepana, Vatanulomana & Rasayan effect by facilitating the hypoglycemic, rejuvenating, antioxidant, immune modulatory actions; to aid in treating Madhumeha (Diabetes mellitus) by sensitizing & enhancing bodily metabolisms.
