High blood sugar levels over time can damage the nerves, especially in the feet and legs, and sometimes in the hands and other parts of the body.

How Ayurveda Understands It
Madhumeha (with Vata involvement)
In Ayurveda, diabetic neuropathy is understood as a complication of Madhumeha (diabetes) in which aggravated Vata Dosha affects the nerves due to long-standing metabolic imbalance and tissue depletion.
This may lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning sensations, pain, or weakness in the hands and feet.

Gudmar, Vijaysar, Meshashringi, Ashwagandha, Amalaki (Amla), Guduchi
