Abstract
Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia of India provides a comprehensive framework for managing diabetes mellitus through dietary interventions tailored to an individual’s dosha body constitution to optimize health outcomes this study assesses the efficacy of ayurvedic dietary approaches for diabetes mellitus focusing on the dietary guidelines specified in the ayurvedic pharmacopoeia central to these interventions is the use of hypoglycemic foods and medicinal herbs such as Curcuma longa(Turmeric) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) which are analyzed for their impact on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity fenugreek seeds rich in soluble fiber attenuate the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates thereby stabilizing blood glucose levels turmeric active component curcumin exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that enhance insulin function ayurvedic principles also advocate for mindful eating and avoidance of foods that disturb dosha balance reinforcing a holistic approach to diabetes management moreover this study compares modern nutritional strategies for diabetes management with ayurvedic dietary guidelines to identify potential synergies the findings suggest that integrating ayurvedic dietary principles into contemporary medical practice could provide an adjunctive strategy for managing diabetes mellitus and improving overall health outcomes however further rigorous research is necessary to validate these benefits and integrate ayurvedic dietary strategies into global diabetes care protocols.
