Randomized controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Shatapushpadi Basti in the management of Prameha (Diabetes mellitus)

Nidanas (etiological factors) of Prameha according to Ayurved are said to be ’Asyasukham’ (sedentary lifestyle), ’Swapnasukham’ (excessive sleep), intake of ’Kaphakar ahara’ (food that causes vitiation of kapha dosha ), which collectively leads to Prameha. Predominant factors contributing to Prameha samprapti are kapha dushti (vitiated kapha dosha) which leads to agnimandya (decrease digestive fire) which further leads to Kleda utpatti and this kleda causes Strotorodha (obstructive pathology). To break this etiopathology, Ayurved has explained panchakarma,out of them one is basti . Achraya charak explained pramehaghana  basti in siddhisthan ,12th  adhyay. Selection of basti chikitsa in Prameha which contains contents of opposite Gunas (properties) of Prameha pathology may help break its pathology. So here Shatapushpadi Basti is selected.
