Noted doctors, professionals and scholars in the discipline of Ayurveda will present papers on patho-physiological aspects of diabetes and recent trends and advances in Ayurvedic diagnoses and treatment.
“The rapid and large increase of Type-2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions and the SSCASRH, through this National Seminar, aims to bring focus on and enable a better understanding of Ayurveda’s contributions in the discipline of diabetic treatment and care”, says Dr. Prof. Sarbeshwar Kar, Chairman, Organizing committee, Madhumeha Jignasa.
A very significant aspect of the seminar proceedings will be the management of diabetic complications through the various branches of Ayurveda, especially in the management of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic ulcer, and the proven benefits of Ayurvedic detoxification processes, lifestyle changes, yoga and diet management in delaying onset of complications. Gestational diabetes - another vital area of concern - will also be discussed.
The holistic approach of Ayurveda stresses appropriate diet management and the adoption of proper regimen to support the efficacy of medication in improving the health and well-being of diabetic patients.
