Introduction to Diabetes:

Recognized as a chronic disease worldwide, diabetes dysfunctions the body from making any or enough insulin which results in an increased blood sugar levels. It is basically a metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to make proper use of glucose. Known as “Madhumeha” in Sanskrit, it is a type of vataja prameha that can be co-related to Diabetes. It leads to a variety of complication to the body organs especially for the nerves, heart, eyes, kidneys and blood vessels. Types of diabetes are associated with type 1, type 2, pre-diabetes, gestational (pregnancy) diabetes and other types. In Ayurveda, 20 forms of diabetes are recognized from which 4 are due to Vata dosha, 6 from Pitta, and another 10 are caused by Kapha, but mainly it is because of the Kapha Dosha.

Causes of Diabetes According to Ayurveda:

  • Diet including sugar, fats, potatoes, rice believes to increase Kapha Dosha.
  • Lack of exercise
  • Mental stress and strain
  • Excessive sleep etc

Symptoms include:

  • Loss of Weight
  • Blurry Vision
  • Certain Skin Infections
  • Palm and Sole Burnings
  • Always Feeling Hungry
  • Excessive Thirst

Role of Ayurveda in Healing Diabetes

Diabetes can’t be reversed. Even the use of allopathic medicines ruins the condition. Ayurveda is said to be a natural healer since ayurvedic treatments help promote health and prevent further decline. It works with all the natural routines to cure, heal, and prevent diseases from recurring again.

“Nidana Parivarjanam chikitsa”

Treatments for diabetes are chosen based on the dosha or the causative factors. Ayurveda believes in eliminating the root cause of disease which is the main step in treating a disease. Because of the above-mentioned causes, agni is disturbed resulting in provoking the kapha dosha which vitiates the fat, muscle and watery elements (medas, mamsa and udaka) of the body and which further causes prameha that is predominant of various doshas. If untreated eventually becomes madhumeha over a period of time.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Diabetes

Meal plans are the cornerstone of managing diabetes. It is mainly the balanced diet with a few modifications and proper spacing between food intakes. It includes lessening of the fats, salts, alcohol, and caffeine in the diet.

  • Regular exercise in any form like yoga or gym is a must. Try to walk as long as you can. Basically, the purpose is to burn the extra calories that we intake all day long.
  • Asanas like 'Paschimottanasan' and 'Halasan' etc. are effective.
  • Each and every body frame has some set of body weight measures. Find out yours and follow a strict schedule to fit in the scale.
  • Try to reduce stress by opting for meditation at least once a day.
  • Avoid sleeping during daytime instead occupy yourself in some sort of physical activities.

Many of the natural herbs, veggies and fruits are recommended to take on a regular basis as well. Amla juice, Triphala juice, Cinnamon powder added with water, Bitter Gourd (Karela) juice, Jamun seeds powder with lukewarm water, snake gourd, Methi seeds soaked, crushed in water are considered the optimal solutions for those who are not interested to go on medications.

Cosmetic dentistry is, for the most part, used to allude to any dental work that enhances the appearance of teeth and gums.

 

It essentially centers around dental improvement in shading, position, shape, size, arrangement and general smile appearance.

 

There are two types of procedures which involve dental aesthetics -

1. Prosthodontics

2. Orthodontics.

 

Cosmetic dentistry includes endodontics and periodontics.

 Different types of options can be found under cosmetic dentistry:

1. Bonding, porcelain veneers (laminates), crowns (caps), gum grafts can be added:

An enamel-like material is added to the tooth surface in the process of bonding. It is then brought into shape, hardened and polished.

 

It helps in improving the smile. Veneers are ultra-thin, specially crafted porcelain overlays that are fortified directly to the teeth.

 

They are a possibility for shutting gaps, improve the shape, or change the shade of teeth that don't react well to the brightening methods.

 

In most of the cases, some level of the tooth needs to be reduced to get ideal outcomes.

 

The dental implants consist of three parts- The device made up of titanium which is inserted into the bone, the abutment, and the crown or caps.

 

The abutment is the main connection between the implant and the crown. Mostly the crowns last till 15 years.

2. Enameloplasty

Tooth reshaping evacuates parts of the enamel to enhance the structure of the tooth.

It might be utilized to amend a little chip or to adjust the length, shape or position of teeth. In case of Tooth Size Discrepancy, it can be utilized to amend abnormal or unreasonably long teeth.

 

The expelled enamel cannot be replaced and may sometime uncover the dentin. It is called enameloplasty, odontoplasty stripping.

 

This technique offers quick outcomes and can even be a substitute for braces.

While numerous brightening choices are presently accessible, including over the counter items, dental practitioner prescribes the procedure for helping stained teeth.

 

Laser brightening is also a teeth brightening procedure in which gums are secured with rubber and a bleaching concoction is smeared on the teeth.

 

The emission of the argon laser, which is planned to quicken the way towards fading, is then anticipated upon the teeth.

 

This laser enacts the bleaching compound and helps the teeth stain in fading. Laser whitening is said to be six times more compelling in teeth brightening.

4. Orthodontics:

Straightening of teeth and improving the face structure:

Basically, orthodontics deals with the position of the teeth and jaws.

 

It indulges in their diagnosis, prevention, and rectification. The treatment of the abnormal alignment of the tooth can take up to 1-2 years with braces being altered every 4-8 weeks.

Braces are used to align the crooked tooth with its perfect place.

 

The continuous pressure over the teeth slowly results in the change of the bony tooth socket with time. Braces can be used in both children and adults to improve their smile.

 

There are different types of braces such as the clear plastic ones which are invisible, or the multi-colored ones.

 

Some braces are put behind the teeth to keep it out of the view.

5. Gingivectomy:

Gingivectomy is a dental strategy in which a dental specialist or oral specialist, remove some portion of the gums in the mouth.

Sometimes the tooth roots are exposed due to gum recession. This can further create complications such as cavity or tooth loss.

 

To improve the aesthetics of the gum, by gum grafting the healthy gum tissue is moved from one part of the mouth to the other.

 

 Smile improvement can have sensational outcomes on your general appearance; even the slightest advance can help increase your confidence, and influence you to smile more.

 

A lot of people are just too scared to visit a dentist. But that too has a solution. Nowadays dental specialists use dental sedation to make the procedures easy.

 

The usage of anaesthesia helps calm the patients and thus gives a way to better and faster treatment.

 It has been found that people rate smile as the second most attractive feature after personality. So if your teeth are not the way you wanted them to be, then don't worry.

 

Present day cosmetic dentistry, with the above techniques, can give you a superior smile. But before choosing to experience any restorative technique, it's essential to know the advantages and hazards and what you can expect amid the procedure.

 

Get enough information about what it will cost, how much experience your dental specialist has with the system, and whether any extraordinary maintenance will be required later.
