ABSTRACT
The science of ageing, or Ayurveda, teaches us the principles and guidelines for leading long, healthy lives. Ayurveda has a great role in maintaining a healthy life, followed by Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta, and Achara Rasayana, as well as recommendations for a balanced diet. Few individuals can follow them properly in the current scenario. As a result, there has been a significant rise in lifestyle diseases, among them Prameha. Prameha is a group of urinary disorders that is particularly marked by frequent and abnormal urination. According to Acharya Charaka, if you do not take care of all types of Praemha, everyone changes into Madhumeha according to time. The color or taste of urine becomes honey, like in Madhumeha. Prameha has been extensively described in various Ayurvedic classics, viz., Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Sngraha, and Madhav Nidan. Prameha has 20 types. In modern science, we know Madhumeh as diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders marked by a high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia).
