Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder prevalent all over the world. Vamana is the Shodhana procedure which is specific for the elimination of vitiated Kapha Dosha to maintain the equilibrium of Dosha in body. Thus in the present study, Vamana Karma has been selected prior to the administration of Shamana drug. After Samsarjana Krama, Nisha-Amalaki was used as a Shamana drug at a dose of 2 gm thrice a day before meals with water for 30 days. Total 15 patients were registered for the present study in which 13 patients completed the treatment and 2 were dropouts. The efficacy of therapy was assessed on parameters like relief in cardinal signs and symptoms, blood sugar level, lipid profile and other biochemical parameters. After evaluating the total effect of therapy, it was observed that the therapy provided highly significant relief in cardinal signs and symptoms and significant reduction in blood sugar level.
