The study was aimed to have a conceptual review of the disease Madhumeha and its treatment in
particular to the use of an herbal drug" Phalatrikadi Kwath" and to compare its efficacy with the control drug (metformin) and placebo through scientific parameters in a double blind clinical control trial. Madhumeha, also known as Diabetes Mellitus is one of the types of Vataja prameha, that has been considered as an incurable disease (Mahagada). Due to indulgence in etiological factors it results in the incomplete formation of Kapha and Meda which further proceeds downward through the channels of Mutravaha srotas and get localized at Basti mukha leading to the symptoms like Prabhoota mutrata (polyurea), Avila mutrata (tubidity of urine) etc. As the disease is Chirakari, it requires an effective treatment which can be continued for a long time without any ill effects. Among the many treatment measures mentioned, Phalatrikadi kwath has been selected in this study and the effect was evaluated. The clinical study includes 50 patients of either sex between 30-60 years of age with Madhumeha (Type2 Diabetes Mellitus) were recruited having range of blood sugar (fasting 126-180 mg/dl, postprandial sugar, 200-250 mg/dl) attending the OPD of G.A.M Puri, Odisha and were divided into three groups. Group I (30 patients) were treated with trial drug (Phalatrikadi kwatha), Group II (10 patients) were treated with control drug (Metformin) and Group III (10 patients) were treated with placebo. All the three groups were recommended with uniform classically described diet (Ahara) & regimen (Vihara). Patients were evaluated in an interval of 15 days for one month. FBS, PPBS with clinical sign & symptoms were assayed. After evaluating the total effects of the treatment, it was
observed that Phalatrikadi kwath along with diet and regimen gave satisfactory relief in comparison
to control drug (metformin)which is an established drug.

Madhumeha, from time immemorial is acting excessive hunger etc. The mortality rate due to as a malady troubling the mankind till the present era Diabetes is high and is ranked 5th among the ten major and continues to increase in numbers and significance causes of death in India. Globally as of 2013, an as it is a multifactorial disease develops due to estimated 382 million people have diabetes worldwide, abnormal interaction of Vata dominant Tridosha with with type2 diabetes making up about 90% of the ten Dusyas[1,2]. Changing lifestyles lead to reduced cases.[5] The rising prevalence of DM is adults globally physical activity and increased obesity. Estimates of the estimated to be 150 million and figured to be double by current and future burden of diabetes are important to 2025[6]. Although the prevalence of type1 and type 2 allocate community and health resources and to DM is increasing worldwide, but the prevalence of type emphasize the role of lifestyles and encourage 2 DM is expected to increase more rapidly in future measures to counteract trends for increasing because of increasing obesity and reduced physical prevalence. Amongst the many dreadful conditions activity. The modern concept of DM implicates the arising because of modern-day living, Madhumeha, a impairment of carbohydrates (Kapha) and fat (Meda), comparable condition of Diabetes Mellitus Diabetes and protein (Mamsa) metabolism. The classical Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which carbohydrate description had not touched the concept of insulin, but utilization is reduced and that of lipid and protein they have wider concept of Agni which includes all enhanced due to deficiency of insulin characterized by enzymes and hormones responsible for all the hyperglycemia.(4) The high blood sugar produces the metabolic activities of the body. Moreover implication symptoms of frequent urination, increased thirst, of insulin in DM has not fully succeeded in clearing the IJAPR October 2015 Vol 3 Issue 10

The chronic nature of diabetes and its tendency Daruharidra (Berberis artistata) root extract to affect various organs and damages the organs very also have potential anti hyperglycemic and antioxidant slowly and on average reduces the life span of the effect that was found in a study done in CSIR, patient by a decade. It has been appropriately termed Lucknow[15].The extract of Daruharidra has strong as "silent killer" and some people call it ‘a disease of potential to regulate glucose homeostasis through complications'. The prevalence of this dreadful disease decreases gluconeogenesis and oxidative stress.

As well as insulin tropic action in longer considered as a disease of rich rather it has been alloxan induced diabetic rats.

It may be due to rapid changes in the physical antihyperglycemic activity can be attributed to its activity and the dietary habits even among the poorer antioxidant activity as it showed the strong DPPH sections of the society. Significant improvement was radical scavenging action in vitro[17].

This Aama reduces the digestive attention as health promoting component in various power and vitiates the three Dosas in the body.
