WHAT AYURVED SAYS ABOUT DIABETES ?
In Ayurveda,Β diabetes is referred to as ” Madhumeha“. Because madhu means sweet and Meha means pee, diabetes is referred to in Ayurveda as “sweet urine”. The term was developed from the order of diabetic urine, which is similar to honey. Ayurveda describes each person as a special synthesis of their doshas. The Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata and pitta are dry and airy doshas, while Kapha is chilly, slimy and heavy dosha.
- Health problems are brought on by each Dosha’s imbalance. Diabetes is brought on by an imbalance in kapha dosha. Ayurveda makes use of medications that are made from various plants . These drugs helps the pancreas, which makes insulin, by mending and fortifying this organ.
- Allopathic drugs on the other hand, cause the pancreas to over work and eventually weaken it. After taking oral medicine for a few years, a diabetic patient has to take insulin.

This emphasizes the requirement for robust stroke care, treatment and rehabilitation systems nationwide in addition to greater prevention. The frequency of strokes has grown and will continue to rise as a big section of the population ages. Any age can experience a stroke, and younger individuals are experiencing them increasingly frequently.
The number of Canadians living with stroke has risen to 878,000 as more people are surviving stroke. Stroke is one of the main causes of adult disability, half of stroke survivors in Canada require assistance with everyday tasks including bathing, eating, dressing, etc.
WHAT IS STROKE ?
Stroke is a potentially fatal disorder in which there is insufficient blood flow to a portion of the brain. This condition is frequently brought on by a clogged artery or brain hemorrhage. Without a constant blood flow, the damaged area’s brain cells begin to die from oxygen deprivation. To avoid irreversible harm or death, this condition must get early medical care since it is life-threatening.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF STROKE?
The three stroke major types of strokes are :
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Because the consequences are transient, it is also known as a Mini-stroke. This is often brought on by a brief reduction in blood flow to specific area of the brain.
- Ischemic Stroke : This type is characterized by diminished blood flow to brain as a result of blood vessel obstruction or constriction. Blood clots are the principle cause of blood vessel obstruction or narrowing. Plaque, which are fatty deposits in the arteries, may be the source of the clots.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke : This occur when blood arteries inside the brain or on its surface burst or leak, causing bleeding inside the brain or surrounding it. The leaking causes swelling and pressure, which harm the brain’s cells and structures.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF STROKE?
Ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes causes may varies.
Ischemic stroke causes includes :
- Clotting disorders
- Heart defects like ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect.
- Atherosclerosis
- Micro-vascular ischemic disease
- Atrial fibrillation

- Brain tumors
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS OF STROKES?
Certain factors tends to increase the risk of the stroke in individuals. The factors includes :
- High cholesterol
- Type 2 diabetes
- Alcohol abuse
- High blood pressure
- Smoking or other forms of tobacco use
- Drug abuse
- Migraine headaches
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF STROKE?
Stroke symptoms varies depending upon the area affected. The common symptoms experienced by individuals includes :

AYURVED APPROACH
In Ayurved stroke can be correlated with Pakshaghata. The vata dosha in the body becomes vitiated as a result of prolonged exposure to etiological causes. The vitiated vata travels to and lodges in the brain. Vata imbalance results in srotas (channels) and sanyu( tendons) drying up, which impairs movement and reaction in the vata-affected region.
The goal of Ayurveda treatment is to increase the blood flow to brain to reduce impact of stroke like numbness, weakness or paralysis. Ayurvedic treatment also helps to improve general health, muscular strength and tone, and cognitive function by stimulating and renewing brain cells.
