Abstract

Panchakarma (Five fold therapeutic methods of Ayurveda) has immense potential in the context of tackling
the lifestyle disorders with special reference to Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus). Ayurvedic Panchakarma
procedures have been becoming popular of late and its usefulness in prevention and management of lifestyle
disorders especially the Madhumeha may be one of the reason. It is therefore essential to recognize the
potential of Panchakarma therapy of Ayurveda and convert into mainstream treatment. As a prelude to this,
an attempt has been made to present the Ayurvedic textual references describing the multidimensional utility
of Panchakarma especially the shodhana (Purificatory therapeutic methods of Ayurveda) in the prevention
and management of Madhumeha. Efforts have been also made to hypothesize the mode of action of this
therapeutic plan. It is proposed that prior to pharmacological intervention i.e., either Ayurveda or modern
anti-diabetic management, shodhana might be extremely useful in terms of rendering the body highly
responsive to the interventional methods. Potential areas of research have also been suggested
