Diabetes (Sugar) - Unani Care in Amroha
Type 2 diabetes is very common in India and often starts silently. Over the years, high blood sugar can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and - in men - erections. Good control of sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol prevents most of this damage.
At Hashmi Dawakhana, Amroha, Unani care for diabetes (ziabetus) is given alongside your diabetes medicines, never instead of them. Our hakims focus on diet, weight, activity, digestion and complications such as weakness and burning feet, and we work with your blood reports. Do not stop insulin or diabetes tablets on your own - it can be dangerous.
Common signs and symptoms
- Passing urine often, especially at night
- Feeling very thirsty or hungry
- Tiredness and weakness
- Slow-healing cuts, frequent infections or itching
- Burning, tingling or numbness in the feet
Possible causes

How Unani medicine approaches it
In Unani medicine, diabetes (ziabetus) is linked to weakness of the kidneys and liver and to impaired digestion. Unani care aims to support blood sugar control through diet (tadbeer-e-ghiza), regular activity, weight management and individually prescribed formulations, and to ease complications such as fatigue and nerve discomfort.
Unani care is a support, not a replacement. Insulin and diabetes tablets prevent serious complications; some herbs can lower sugar further, so blood sugar must be monitored when anything is added. We check your reports and keep your treating doctor informed.
