DIABETES MELLITUS
60% of world population are afflicted with this disease. Environmental factors, improper diet habit, lack of exercise, mental stress play a vital role to trigger this problem. Mild form of non insulin diabetes mellitus and DM due to lack of insulin sensitizers could be manageable with Siddha medicines. Advantage of these medicines is believed to be preventing onset of further complications related to DM owing to its hypoglycaemic effect, hypolipidaemic effect, and anti-oxidant effect and by the enhancing effect on microcirculation. Nisamalaki, Abhraga chenduram, Aavarai kudineer, Seenthil kudineer, Vengai kudineer, Nilavembu kudineer, Madhumega choornam and Santhigiri’s Meninokki fulfils abovementioned activities.
