April:- With
the increasingly rapid pace of life and degrading health habits, stress and diabetes
has become a part of the life of 21st century man. Both stress
and diabetes are fatal individually, however when combined together can
instigate health loss internally as well as externally.
Stress is one of the most common
syndromes today. Though a human body needs stress hormones to live well and
adapt well to different situations in life, but at the same time too much of
stress over an extended period of time can disturb the bodily functions and
make us prone to infections and chronic diseases like diabetes, heart diseases
and arthritis. Stress shares a very close relationship with and Type 2
diabetes. Medical research has shown that stressful situations can trigger the
development of Type 2 diabetes. Anxiety, sleeping problems, anger, and
hostility are also associated with an increased risk for the development of
Type 2 diabetes.
Our age old traditional medicine
system – Ayurveda, offers
multifold solutions to the modern age diseases like diabetes. In classic
Ayurveda, diabetes is called ‘madhumeha/ prameha’, a disorder due
to improper diet,erratic or sedentary lifestyle and obesity. It describes
diabetes as a hereditary disease passed on by a diabetic family member. The
solution to Diabetes (Prameha/Madhumeha) has been described based on a diabetic’s
body type. It suggests adopting a healthy and active lifestyle along with
medication and diet as the body stamina and vitality. There are various
ayurvedic herbal preparations that provide good relief in patients with
diabetes and stress. One such formulation is Dabur Madhurakshak Activ which is a unique combination of
potent ayurvedic herbs for people with diabetes or at pre-diabetes stage. It
contains herbs like Amla, Karela, Gudmar, and Jamun. Researched by CCRAS,
Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, the combination of these herbs have
been found in reducing blood sugar and diabetes related complications and
improving health in people with diabetes.
The manuscripts of Ayurveda
encapsulate the effect of stress on health through the concept of‘Manovikaras’.
An important part of the body’s immune system, Manovikaras, is a
substance found within all cellular tissues and the mind. It is primarily
responsible for providing the mind with stability and contentment. It is widely
believed that lifestyle changes like increasing physical activity and
changing dietary patterns are a necessary part of stress and diabetes
management. For stress related symptoms, there are various herbal preparations
available Ayurveda; one such unique preparation is Dabur Stresscom, a lipid based
formulation that contains Ashwagandha which is well researched herb for
managing stress. It reduces the serum cortisol, improves immunity and helps the
body to better manage various types of stress. Ayurvedic solutions help reduce
stress and attain optimum health and peace of mind.
The model of Ayurveda advices all of
us to lead a life that is balanced and in harmony with our surroundings. It
helps manage diabetes and stress by practicing a combination of
corrective Aahar (diet), Vihar (exercise),
