        abstract = {The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is rapidly increasing worldwide, with India emerging as the “Diabetes Capital of the World.” Although several conventional antidiabetic therapies are available, they often present limitations such as adverse effects, high cost, and inadequate control of disease progression. This has led to an increased global interest in alternative systems of medicine, especially Ayurveda, for safe and effective management of diabetes and its complications. Ayurveda describes Madhumita as a disease comparable to diabetes mellitus, with numerous formulations prescribed for its prevention and management. Among these, Kadaradi Kashaya (or Kadara Khadira Puradi Kashaya) is a classical polyherbal decoction mentioned for its Pramehahara (antidiabetic) properties. Recent pharmacological and clinical studies have demonstrated that ingredients of this formulation exert hypoglycaemic, antioxidant activity, thereby improving the overall quality of life in diabetic patients.},
