Diabetes Mellitus
According to Ayurveda, diabetes can be traced to an imbalance of kapha energy, which is comprised of the elements earth and water. Holistic practitioners attribute the development of diabetes to a decrease in the digestive fire, or "agni," and thereby a diminished ability of the body to metabolize energy and eliminate toxins.
