Panchakarma
Panchakarma is a detoxification and rejuvenation process that plays a significant role in Ayurvedic diabetes management. It involves five main therapies designed to remove toxins, restore balance, and improve metabolic function:
-
Vamana (Therapeutic Vomiting): Eliminates toxins from the upper gastrointestinal tract and helps reduce Kapha dosha, often associated with obesity in diabetics.
-
Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Cleanses the liver and intestines, improving metabolism and nutrient absorption, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.
-
Basti (Medicated Enema): Administers medicated oils or decoctions rectally, enhancing insulin sensitivity, digestion, and balancing Vata dosha.
-
Nasya (Nasal Administration): Involves administering herbal oils through the nose, clearing sinuses, and potentially helping manage stress, which can impact blood sugar.
-
Raktamokshana (Bloodletting): A procedure for removing a small amount of blood to reduce toxins in the body, particularly useful for complications like diabetic ulcers.
