INTRODUCTION
Diabetes mellitus is a common
chronic metabolic disorder prevalent all
over the world. Although diabetes has
been a known morbidity since time im-
memorial, its incidence has been growing
notably in recent years. The rising preva-
lence of diabetes is closely associated with
industrialization and socio-economic de-
velopment. Some 382 million people
worldwide1
, or 8.3% ofadults, are esti-
mated to have diabetes. About80% lives in
low- and middle-income countries. Ifthese
trends continue, by 2035, some 592 mil-
lionpeople, or one adult in 10, will have
diabetes. Thisequates to approximately
three new cases every10 seconds or almost
10 million per year.

ABSTRACT
Diabetes is a disease known from the dawn of civilization. Sedentary life style, Lack
of exercise, Faulty food habits and improper medication and urbanization precipitate the dis-
ease. The ancient Ayurveda classics texts namely the Samhitas of Charak, Sushruta and
Vagbhataand the subsequent treatises have invariably given detailed description of the dis-
ease Madhumeha (Diabetes mellitus), its causes, types, pathology and the line of manage-
ment and treatment both preventive and curative. In present study,drugs were selected with
the help of textual references of Rasendra Sara Sangraha prameha Chikitsa-1 (Harishankar-
Ras) and Sushruta Samhita Chikitsa sthana11-8 (Khadir-KramukaKwatha).30 clinically di-
agnosed patients were randomly divided into 3 Groups of 10 each. In Group A, 10 patients
were administered Harishankar Ras in dose of 125 mg twice a day with luke warm water in
empty stomach for 30days. In Group B, 10 patients were administered Khadir-Kramuk Kwath
for 30 days in the dose of 40 ml twice a day in empty stomach and in Group C, 10 patients
were administered Harishankar Ras 125 mg twice a day in empty stomach with luke warm
water and Khadir-Kramuk Kwatha 40 ml for twice a day in empty stomach for 30 days. From
outcomes of this study it can be said that the proposed medicines Harishankar Ras and Kha-
dir -KramukKwath shows positive response on various parameters of Madhumeha (Diabetes
Mellitus Type II) which indicates that these drugs have good Madhumehaghna (Antidiabetic)
effect when used alone or as combine therapy; where results were more marked.

with diabetes in India currentlyaround 65.1
million is expected to rise to 109.0 million
by 2035 unless urgent preventive steps
aretaken. The so called “Asian Indian Phe-
notype”2
refers to certain unique clinical
and biochemicalabnormalities in Indians
which include increased insulin resistance,
greater abdominal adiposityi.e., higher
waist circumference despite lower body
mass index, lower adiponectin and higher
highsensitive C-reactive protein levels.
This phenotype makes Asian Indians more
prone to diabetesand premature coronary
artery disease. At least a part of this is due
to genetic factors.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that
occurs when thebody cannot produce
enough insulin or cannot use insulin effec-
tively3
. Insulin is a hormone producedin
the pancreas that allows glucose from food
toenter the body’s cells where it is con-
verted intoenergy needed by muscles and
tissues to function.A person with diabetes
does not absorb glucoseproperly, and glu-
cose remains circulating in theblood (a
condition known as hyperglycae-
mia)damaging body tissues over time. This
damagecan lead to disabling and life-
threatening healthcomplications.
According to etiological factors,
Clinical features and pathogenesis, Mad-
humeha can be correlated with Diabetes
Mellitus.
Material and Methods:
Selection of Cases:The study was con-
ducted on 30 clinically and pathologically
diagnosed patients of Madhumeha (DM
Type II). The selection of patients was
made randomly from OPD/IPD of Arogya-
shala, National Institute of Ayurveda and
SSBH, Jaipur (Raj.).
Inclusion Criteria: Diagnosed and con-
firmed cases of Diabetes Mellitus type II,
on the basis of the laboratory investiga-
tions of age group of 20-60 years and pa-
tients willing to sign the consent form.
Exclusion Criteria: Patients having DM
Type I [IDDM], Patient of DM Type II
who is on Insulin therapy, any type of Ma-
lignancy, DM with complications, patient
having any serious illness, FBS
[>200mg/dl], PPBS [>250mg/dl] and
Hypertension.
Subjective parameters for assessment4, 5,

:Prabhoot mutrata(Polyurea), Pipasa
(Polydypsia), Avil mutrata(Turbid urine),
Sharira Gaurava(Heavyness in body),
Tandra (Drowsiness), Hastpaadtal
daah(Burning sensation in palm and
sole),Kara Pada Suptata(Numbness in
palms and sole)Saad(Lethargy) and Pan-
duvarna Mutra(Yellowish white urine)
were assessed before and after of trial
study.
Objective parameters for assessment:
Routine hematological, erythrocyte sedi-
mentation rate, renal function test, liver
function test, blood sugar level:fasting and
2 hour post prandial, glycosylated hemog-
lobin and urine routine & microscopy were
recorded in all patients before and after of
trial study.
Diet and restrictions: No diet and restric-
tions were advised.
Trial Drugs: The raw material was pur-
chased by National Institute of Ayurveda
Pharmacy, Jaipur. Both trial drugs were-
prepared in theNational Institute of Ayur-
veda Pharmacy,Jaipurby following clas-
sical guidelines.Composition of both trial
drugs isshown in Table 1.
Grouping and Posology: A total of 30
patients were randomly grouped into A, B

Observations and Results
Effect of therapy on cardinal symp-
toms:The results of therapeutic trial reveal
that patients ofgroup-A showed statisti-
cally significant changes in the symptoms
ofSaad (P<0.05), Kara Pada Daha
(P<0.05) and Kara Pada Suptata (P<0.05)
while in rest other parameters result were
statistically insignificant. In patients of
group B, showed statistically highly sig-
nificant changes inSaad (P<0.01). Statisti-
cally significant changes was found in
Prabhoot Mutrata (urine frequency)
(P<0.05), Avil Mutrata (P<0.05), Pandu-
varna Mutrata (P<0.05), Kara Pada Daha
(P<0.05) and Kara Pada Suptata
(P<0.05).In patients of group C, showed
statistically highly significant changesin
symptoms Prabhoot Mutrata (P<0.01),
Saad (P<0.01), Tandra (P<0.01), Kara
Pada Daha (P<0.01) and Kara Pada Sup-
tata (P<0.01).
Effect of therapy on objective parame-
ters: The results of therapeutic trial on lab
parameters reveals that the patients of
group A showed statistically no signifi-
cant (P>0.05) changes in Hb%, TLC,
ESR, Fasting Blood Sugar, Blood Urea,
Serum Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT,Urine
Sugar, Urine Protein and GHb. While sta-
tistically significant (P<0.05)change was
found in PPBS.In patients of group B
showed statistically highly significant
(P<0.01) changes in FBS and Urine sugar.
Significant changes(P<0.05) in PPBS and
ESR.While statistically no signifi-
cant(P>0.05)was found in rest other pa-
rameters.In patients of group C, showed
statistically highly significant(P<0.001)
changes in Fasting blood sugar and Post
Prandial blood sugar. Group showed
highly significant(P<0.01) results in
Hb%, and Urine sugar. Significant re-
sults(P<0.05) for ESR and GHb while sta-
tistically no significant(P>0.05) changes
were found in TLC, Blood Urea,
Sr.Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT and Urine
Protein.
The insignificant results in the
Blood Urea, Sr.Creatinine, Urine pro-
tein,SGOT, SGPT and indicate thatrenal
functionsand liver functions were normal
and Harishankara Ras and Khadir-
Kramuk Kwatha does not cause any hepat-
ic and renal impairment.

A COMPARATIVE AND COMBINED EFFICACY OF HARISHANKAR RAS AND KHADIR-KRAMUK KWATH IN MADHUMEHA DIABETES TYPE 2

  • 1. A COMPARATIVE AND COMBINED EFFICACY OF HARISHANKAR RAS AND KHADIR-KRAMUK KWATH IN MADHUMEHA (DIABETES TYPE 2) Nariyal Vikas1 , Sahu Ajay Kumar2 1 Ph. D. Scholar, 2 Assistant Professor, PG Dept. of Kayachikitsa, National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic metabolic disorder prevalent all over the world. Although diabetes has been a known morbidity since time im- memorial, its incidence has been growing notably in recent years. The rising preva- lence of diabetes is closely associated with industrialization and socio-economic de- velopment. Some 382 million people worldwide1 , or 8.3% ofadults, are esti- mated to have diabetes. About80% lives in low- and middle-income countries. Ifthese trends continue, by 2035, some 592 mil- lionpeople, or one adult in 10, will have diabetes. Thisequates to approximately three new cases every10 seconds or almost 10 million per year. According to the Diabetes Atlas 2013 publishedby the International Di- abetes Federation, the number of people Research Article International Ayurvedic Medical Journal ISSN:2320 5091 ABSTRACT Diabetes is a disease known from the dawn of civilization. Sedentary life style, Lack of exercise, Faulty food habits and improper medication and urbanization precipitate the dis- ease. The ancient Ayurveda classics texts namely the Samhitas of Charak, Sushruta and Vagbhataand the subsequent treatises have invariably given detailed description of the dis- ease Madhumeha (Diabetes mellitus), its causes, types, pathology and the line of manage- ment and treatment both preventive and curative. In present study,drugs were selected with the help of textual references of Rasendra Sara Sangraha prameha Chikitsa-1 (Harishankar- Ras) and Sushruta Samhita Chikitsa sthana11-8 (Khadir-KramukaKwatha).30 clinically di- agnosed patients were randomly divided into 3 Groups of 10 each. In Group A, 10 patients were administered Harishankar Ras in dose of 125 mg twice a day with luke warm water in empty stomach for 30days. In Group B, 10 patients were administered Khadir-Kramuk Kwath for 30 days in the dose of 40 ml twice a day in empty stomach and in Group C, 10 patients were administered Harishankar Ras 125 mg twice a day in empty stomach with luke warm water and Khadir-Kramuk Kwatha 40 ml for twice a day in empty stomach for 30 days. From outcomes of this study it can be said that the proposed medicines Harishankar Ras and Kha- dir -KramukKwath shows positive response on various parameters of Madhumeha (Diabetes Mellitus Type II) which indicates that these drugs have good Madhumehaghna (Antidiabetic) effect when used alone or as combine therapy; where results were more marked.

Nariyalvikas Et Al: A Comparative And Combined Efficacy Of Harishankar Ras And Khadir-Kramuk Kwath In Madhumeha (Diabetes Type 2) 2766 www.iamj.in IAMJ: Volume 4; Issue 09; September- 2016 with diabetes in India currentlyaround 65.1 million is expected to rise to 109.0 million by 2035 unless urgent preventive steps aretaken. The so called “Asian Indian Phe- notype”2 refers to certain unique clinical and biochemicalabnormalities in Indians which include increased insulin resistance, greater abdominal adiposityi.e., higher waist circumference despite lower body mass index, lower adiponectin and higher highsensitive C-reactive protein levels. This phenotype makes Asian Indians more prone to diabetesand premature coronary artery disease. At least a part of this is due to genetic factors. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when thebody cannot produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effec- tively3 . Insulin is a hormone producedin the pancreas that allows glucose from food toenter the body’s cells where it is con- verted intoenergy needed by muscles and tissues to function.A person with diabetes does not absorb glucoseproperly, and glu- cose remains circulating in theblood (a condition known as hyperglycae- mia)damaging body tissues over time. This damagecan lead to disabling and life- threatening healthcomplications. According to etiological factors, Clinical features and pathogenesis, Mad- humeha can be correlated with Diabetes Mellitus. Material and Methods: Selection of Cases:The study was con- ducted on 30 clinically and pathologically diagnosed patients of Madhumeha (DM Type II). The selection of patients was made randomly from OPD/IPD of Arogya- shala, National Institute of Ayurveda and SSBH, Jaipur (Raj.). Inclusion Criteria: Diagnosed and con- firmed cases of Diabetes Mellitus type II, on the basis of the laboratory investiga- tions of age group of 20-60 years and pa- tients willing to sign the consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Patients having DM Type I [IDDM], Patient of DM Type II who is on Insulin therapy, any type of Ma- lignancy, DM with complications, patient having any serious illness, FBS [>200mg/dl], PPBS [>250mg/dl] and Hypertension. Subjective parameters for assessment4, 5, 6 :Prabhoot mutrata(Polyurea), Pipasa (Polydypsia), Avil mutrata(Turbid urine), Sharira Gaurava(Heavyness in body), Tandra (Drowsiness), Hastpaadtal daah(Burning sensation in palm and sole),Kara Pada Suptata(Numbness in palms and sole)Saad(Lethargy) and Pan- duvarna Mutra(Yellowish white urine) were assessed before and after of trial study. Objective parameters for assessment: Routine hematological, erythrocyte sedi- mentation rate, renal function test, liver function test, blood sugar level:fasting and 2 hour post prandial, glycosylated hemog- lobin and urine routine & microscopy were recorded in all patients before and after of trial study. Diet and restrictions: No diet and restric- tions were advised. Trial Drugs: The raw material was pur- chased by National Institute of Ayurveda Pharmacy, Jaipur. Both trial drugs were- prepared in theNational Institute of Ayur- veda Pharmacy,Jaipurby following clas- sical guidelines.Composition of both trial drugs isshown in Table 1. Grouping and Posology: A total of 30 patients were randomly grouped into A, B and C. Group A (n = 10) received Hari- shankar Ras in dose of 125 mg with luke warm water, Group B (n = 10) received Khadir-Kramuk Kwath in dose of 40 ml and Group C (n = 10) received Harishan-

In patients of group B, showed statistically highly sig- nificant changes inSaad (P<0.01). Statisti- cally significant changes was found in Prabhoot Mutrata (urine frequency) (P<0.05), Avil Mutrata (P<0.05), Pandu- varna Mutrata (P<0.05), Kara Pada Daha (P<0.05) and Kara Pada Suptata (P<0.05).In patients of group C, showed statistically highly significant changesin symptoms Prabhoot Mutrata (P<0.01), Saad (P<0.01), Tandra (P<0.01), Kara Pada Daha (P<0.01) and Kara Pada Sup- tata (P<0.01). Effect of therapy on objective parame- ters: The results of therapeutic trial on lab parameters reveals that the patients of group A showed statistically no signifi- cant (P>0.05) changes in Hb%, TLC, ESR, Fasting Blood Sugar, Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT,Urine Sugar, Urine Protein and GHb. While sta- tistically significant (P<0.05)change was found in PPBS.In patients of group B showed statistically highly significant (P<0.01) changes in FBS and Urine sugar. Significant changes(P<0.05) in PPBS and ESR.While statistically no signifi- cant(P>0.05)was found in rest other pa- rameters.In patients of group C, showed statistically highly significant(P<0.001) changes in Fasting blood sugar and Post Prandial blood sugar. Group showed highly significant(P<0.01) results in Hb%, and Urine sugar. Significant re- sults(P<0.05) for ESR and GHb while sta- tistically no significant(P>0.05) changes were found in TLC, Blood Urea, Sr.Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT and Urine Protein. The insignificant results in the Blood Urea, Sr.Creatinine, Urine pro- tein,SGOT, SGPT and indicate thatrenal functionsand liver functions were normal and Harishankara Ras and Khadir- Kramuk Kwatha does not cause any hepat- ic and renal impairment.
