Diabetes Diabetes 23 Aug Foot ulcers: A complication of diabetes Do you know that diabetes can cause break down of skin tissues leading to exposure the layers underneath? Yes, this is a complication associated with diabetes and is medically known as diabetic foot ulcers. Wounds in diabetic patients are prone to infection and are often difficult to heal. This is due to the high glucose level in blood and peripheral neuritis. This occurrence is the most common under your toes and it can penetrate deep into your bone. How can Ayurveda help in treating diabetic foot ulcers? Madhumehajanya Dushta Vrana (chronic diabetic wound) occurs due to excess intake of heavy or oily meals & living a sedentary lifestyle. Such lifestyle vitiates the Tridoshas and gets accumulated to block the micro/macrovascular channels which cause increased blood sugar levels leading to diabetic foot ulcers. If diabetic wounds are not treated properly, they might end in the amputation of the limb. In Ayurveda, some herbs are very effective in the healing chronic diabetic wounds. Herbs useful in diabetic foot ulcers (Vran Ropan) 1.Neem (Azadirachta indica)- Diabetic foot ulcers occur due to imbalanced Tridoshas. Neem exerts a direct action on blocked Srotas and balances the Tridoshas. Due to its specific property of wound healing and antiseptic nature, it protects the cells/tissues from damaging along with normalizing the blood sugar level. 2.Karela (Momordica charantia)- It purifies the blood with its natural cleansing action (by unblocking Srotas) and hence useful in lowering down the blood sugar levels. It helps in the regulation of the receptors pathway and helps in metabolism which further prevents the body from tissue damage i.e. diabetic foot ulcers. 3.Gudmar (Gymnema sylvestra)- It significantly shows the hypoglycemic effect by regenerating the pancreatic beta cells that induce sufficient hormonal secretions for reducing blood glucose level. 4.Jamun (Syzygium cumini)- It maintains both Pitta and Kapha Doshas by bringing down the blood sugar levels in the blood. Hence, the blood sugar levels can be naturally regulated without further damage of the tissues. 5.Vijaysar (Pterocarus marsupium)-It helps in balancing the Tridoshas. It also exhibits anti-oxidant activity to prevent cell damage. Therefore, it supports the body to naturally regulate the blood sugar levels.
