Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders in which increased blood sugar level is caused due to inadequate insulin secretion, diminished tissue response to insulin, or both. It is predicted to rise of global incidence from 366 million people to about 552 million in the next two decades. It is a leading cause of death, disability and carries a large socioeconomic burden globally. The etiological factors and symptoms of Diabetes mellitus can be compared with Madhumeha, a type of Prameha in Ayurveda. Acharya Charak described it under Santarpanajanya vyadhi. Diet plays an important role in etiopathogenesis of Prameha. Hence Pathyakara ahar has major role in preventing the type II Diabetes. Among all Pathya, Yava/ Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the best Ruksha santarpan dravya described in Prameha Chikitsa by Acharya Charak. Many research studies conducted on it concluded that Yava should be used as food & medicinal preparation in any form for management of the lifestyle disorders (Santarpanjanya vyadhi) mainly Diabetes, Hypercholestrolemia and Obesity. The present paper aims at putting forward the importance of Yava in the prevention and dietary management of Prameha.
