<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
''Prameha'' is a set of complex clinical disorders characterized by frequent abnormal micturition, with the etiology involving genetic predisposition as well as improper diet and lifestyle. The clinical conditions described in ''prameha'' have much in common with diabetes mellitus. In the chapter dealing with the treatment for the alleviation of ''prameha'' following topics have been discussed: Etiology of the disease; ''doshas'' and ''dushyas'' involved in the pathogenesis of the disease; Curability and incurability of the disease; Signs and symptoms of the disease; Two types of ''prameha'' patients; Three categories of therapy; viz. ''samshodhana'' (elimination therapy), ''samshamana'' (alleviation therapy) and ''nidana parivarjana'' (avoiding causative factors); Disadvantages of over depletion; Eatables prepared of barley, ''mantha'' (thin gruel) and decoctions for the cure of ''prameha''.
Treatment of ''prameha'' includes, medicated oil, medicated ghee, various recipes of linctus, food preparations; good quality ''asavas'' (fermented drinks) having known therapeutic utility; and different methods of exercise, baths, unctuous and fragrant applications. Though ''prameha'' is widely accepted as description of diabetes, it covers various types of urinary disorders.
