Prameha is further classified into 20 varieties based on physical abnormalities of urine. One of its varieties, Madhumeha can be regarded as Diabetes Mellitus. To understand the varied management principles and medications that can be used to manage the Prameha, a detailed review was done on Bhaisajyaratnavali. It is a unique classical text book of Ayurveda, which gives a complete picture of Ayurveda pharmaceutics. This Materia medica was written by Shri Govind Das in-19th century AD.
