Author : Dr. Ashwini Misal and Dr. Shivani Dhurgude
Abstract :
The patient's urine (mutra) acquires traits resembling honey (madhu) in the illness known as "Richman's Disease" or "madhumeha." Modern science has drawn comparisons between it and Diabetes Mellitus. An absolute or relative deficiency in insulin secretion, insulin activity, or both causes diabetes mellitus, which is a metabolic disorder affecting the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. A 56-year-old woman was admitted to the female kayachikitsa ward after experiencing signs of diabetes mellitus, including Prabhūta mūtrata (polyurea), Kshudha vrudhi (polyphagia), pipasa vrudhi (polydipsia), Dourbalya (general weakness), Paridaha (burning sensation), and kandu (itching). Basti karma has been described as one of the successful panchakarmas used to treat a wide variety of illnesses. Basti has proven to be successful at managing prameha. Consequently, the patient in this trial was treated with Madhutailika basti, which was effective in curing Madhumeha.
