Introduction
Madhumeha is a clinical entity described in Ayurveda as one of the types of Vataja Prameh. Regarding this disease Ayurvedic scholars have mentioned that in Madhumeha urine is sweet, slightly turbid and pale in colour just like honey. Acharya Vaghbhata has also mentioned that each and every part of the body is sweetened in this disease.
Describing the Prameha, it has been mentioned that it is a group of disorders in which there is increased frequency of micturi-tion, the volume of urine is also increased and the urine becomes tur-bid. Acharyas have explained that in Madhumeha there is vitiation of Vata Kapha Pradhana Tridosha associated with Meda and other Dhatus along with Ojas as Dushya which comes out of the body through Mutravaha Srotas.
