Madhu means "sweet," and Meha signifies "excess urination" (atipravritti/ Bahula Avila Mutrata).Madhumeha is a clinical condition identified as one of the forms of Vataja Prameha in Ayurveda.[1] Avil Prabhuta Mutra is Prameha's main feature.[2] Madhumeha is induced by Dhatukshaya and manifests as a thin and asthenic individual as a result of Oja loss or imbalance. The vitiated Kapha and Meda in Margavaranjanya Madhumeha obstruct the path of Vata. The obstructed Vata becomes vitiated again and transports Ojas to Basti, manifesting Madhumeha. [3] Madhumeha is associated with a comparable condition. Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome characterised by abnormal metabolism and hyperglycemia caused by a lack of insulin secretion or a combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production.
