*Dr. Pradnya D. Bharati and Dr. Vrinda Kaknurkar

Abstract

Medoroga and Prameha both are lifestyle disorders. Ayurveda is a science of life. Healthy lifestyle is explained by describing Dincharya, Ratricharya, Ritucharya, Aharvidhivisheshayatana etc. Pradnyaparadha leads to lack of self- discipline and thus unhealthy life style is adopted, which finally leads to many life style disorders. Medoroga and Prameha are two among many. Medoroga is a disease of Medovahasrotas. And it is interesting to know that Medovahasrotodushti lakshanani are nothing but Prameha poorvarupani. And thus it raised my interest to study Medoroga and Prameha simultaneously with comparison. It was further found that aetiology, prodromal clinical features and to certain extent Pathyapathya advised, in both these diseases show similarities. Medoroga which is Medovahastrotas diseases if ignored may lead to Prameha. Charakacharya has already mentioned this by stating Prameha poorvaroopani as Medovahastroto dushti lakshanani. We can thus say that Medoroga is Nidanarthakar Roga of Prameha

Keywords: Medovahasrotas, Medoroga, Prameha.
