Abstract

This article explores the prognostic evaluation of Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus) with respect to Bala Mamsa Kshaya (diminution of strength and muscle mass). In Indriya Sthan regarding the prognosis of disease Acharya Charaka has mentioned Bala Mamsa assesment as a prognostic tool in diseases like Vatavyadhi, Apasmara, Kushtha, Shopha, Udara, Gulma, Madhumeha and Rajayakshma. According to Acharya these diseases become Asadhya in nature because of continuous Bala Mamsa Kshaya and it should be avoided by the physician. With the global rise in diabetes mellitus, understanding traditional prognostic tools can offer new perspectives on disease management. Integrating traditional Ayurvedic prognostic tools like Bala Mamsa assessment into modern diabetes care can enhance early detection and intervention strategies. By recognizing the significance of muscle mass diminution in disease progression, healthcare providers can adopt a more holistic approach, potentially improving patient outcomes and managing complications more effectively.
