Result: Diabetic Neuropathy, Nephropathy & Retinopathy are the micro vascular complications of Madhumeha. These complications are mainly due to Rakta- Medo dushti.

Medovaha& Mootravaha srotasdushti in Diabetic nephropathy cause structural changes in glomeruli. This structural change is corrected by Haridra&Triphala by their rasayana effect. Triphala act as Mehaghna (antidiabetic) by Pachana of vikrit meda. Haridra act as Medoghna (lipolytic);as it possesses laghu, ruksha guna, it reduces sclerosis. There is Rakta dushti in Retinopathy which is marked by retino vascular micro aneurysm & blot hemorrhages. Manjishtha have Pachana (digestive) & Shaman (palliative) effect on Raktagata Kapha-Pitta. It acts as rakataprasadana (blood purifier), vranaropana (wound healing). Suvarnamakshika bhasma is raktaprasadaka, acts on hemorrhagic disorders such as Retinal haemorrhages.
