Effect of Pramehantak Kashaya & Kapikachchu Churna in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy - A Case Study
Nowadays, diabetes mellitus is a prevalent medical condition. Physical inactivity and the hectic, stressful lifestyle of the modern world are major contributors to diabetes mellitus. Uncontrolled high blood sugar in diabetic individuals can harm nerves and impair their ability to communicate, which can result in diabetic neuropathy. The patient seen in the Kayachikitsa OPD at the Shri N.P.A. Government Ayurved Medical College and Hospital Raipur CG is the subject of this study. Patients complained of lower extremity discomfort, numbness, burning, and tingling that had gotten worse over the previous two years. A five-year history of diabetes mellitus is part of the past medical history. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the diagnosis made after a patient's complete medical history and physical examination. Based on the Doshas and Dushyas involved, this research explores the likely Ayurvedic correlation of this ailment. Pramehantak Kashaya and Kapikachhu Churna, two Ayurvedic medications, were used to treat this patient with success. According to the results, 50% of the burning sensation in the hands and feet, 67% of the tingling sensation, 100% of the numbness, and 50% of the pain in the lower limbs were relieved. Results for every symptom were really significant. Thus, it can be said that Pramehantak Kashaya and Kapikachhu Churna are quite beneficial for diabetic neuropathy sufferers.
