Benefits

Why Gluco Health?

Diabetes is a disorder in which the body is unable to control the use of sugar as a source of energy. When Carbohydrates (contained in sugar and starches) are digested, they are absorbed into the blood as glucose. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas is released in the blood stream when the level of the glucose rises and the hormone Insulin enables glucose to be stored and used in the tissues. In diabetic patients, either there is insufficient insulin or no insulin. Thus glucose, which is not used in the body, gets accumulated in the blood and eventually passes in the urine (Glycosuria). The symptoms include frequent passing of large quantities of urine, unexplained loss of weight, Feeling of tiredness and weakness. It can also precipitate high blood pressure, heart attack and may eventually paralyze the kidneys. Eyesight may also get affected. The worst part is that there is no cure for this disease with science today.

Ayurvedic Concept

Even though modern science claims their is no cure for diabetes mellitus, according to Ayurveda, if treatment is given at the early stages, the person may be cured completely. But he or she has to control his diet. With a balanced diet that meets the nutritional needs of the person, along with some exercise, glucose levels remain under control. And in chronic cases, where the person is taking insulin, after a long treatment, he may not be dependent on insulin but may have to take oral/herbal medicine to keep glucose level under limits and regular blood tests and checkups. Chemicals (Allopathic Medicine) control the blood sugar level faster but fails to provide relief to other problems associated with the diabetes where as herbal remedies take time to show the improvement in disease (Blood glucose level) but provides maximum relief from the other ailments present with this disease. Sufferers feel more energetic and, in chronic cases where the sufferer is totally dependent on insulin, after long-term use can decrease his insulin intake.

The ancient Indian physicians described not only the sweetness of urine as one of the major symptoms but also the relationship of the disease with disturbance of the 5 sheaths of the body–Annamaya Kosha (Food Sheath), Pranamaya (Breathing techniques in Yoga), Kosha (Energy Sheath), Manomaya Kosha (Mind Sheath), Vijnana Maya Kosha (Intellectual Sheath) and Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss Sheath). All classical texts describe prameha. The word prameha derived from the root mih sechane meaning watering which means dilution of everything in the body.

Aetiology

Foods that increase Kapha (Water), Meda (Fat) and Moothra (Urine) are the etiological factors for Prameha (Diabetes).

What is Ayurveda?
