Abstract

Introduction: Even though the scientific world has conducted extensive studies on Madhumeha but couldn’t find a safe and effective therapy or medicine for this disease, in Ayurveda we offer several treatment modalities. In the treatment of Sthoola Madhumeha, Vamana and Virechana therapies are good result oriented, controls the blood sugar level and prevent further complications without any side effects. Vamana and Virechana Karmas are advised in Madhumeha patients having good body strength and those who are Sthoola. Objectives: To evaluate the comparative effect of Vamana and Virechana Karmas in Madhumeha (NIDDM). Methods: This study includes 2 groups, 15 patients in each group. In Group-A, 15 patients received Vamana and in Group-B, 15 patients received Virechana. Results and Conclusion: In Group A (Vamana), 08 patients got Good response (53.33%), 07 patients are got Moderate response (46.66%) and in Group B (Virechana) 03 patients got Good response (20%) and 12 patients got Moderate response (80%), no patient had Poor response in both the groups.
