Ayurveda has described main cause of Diabetes due to lack of exercise, consumption of excess food having ushna, snigdha & guru nature. Moreover the food that increase kapha, medhas & mootra are also main factors for diabetes.
The management of diabetes differs from patient to patient according to their body constitution & prevailing dosha (viz. kapha, pitta, vata etc.) however according to ayurvedic text, Vijaysar herb balances Kapha, Pitta & Vitta therefore this is important herb for controlling blood glucose among diabetes patients.
