1.Introduction:
Dr. Saranya, a graduate of JSS College, witnessed extraordinary diabetes reversal cases during her internship at SLNS Nature Cure Hospital. Motivated by these results, she urged her mother, Mrs. Angayarkanni—who had long struggled with diabetes and related complications—to undergo a transformative 20-day naturopathic treatment under Dr. Karthik Reddy’s expert care. The outcome was life-changing: Mrs. Angayarkanni achieved normalized blood glucose levels, dramatic relief from symptoms, and a revitalized quality of life, marking a powerful testament to the effectiveness of holistic healing.
2.Patient Informtion:
Patient Name: Mrs. Angayarkanni
Age: 50 years
Condition: Diabetes Mellitus (6 years)
Mrs. Angayarkanni has been managing Diabetes Mellitus for the past six years, accompanied by symptoms like burning sensation and pain in both feet, increased thirst and appetite, weakness, hair fall, sleeplessness, allergies, knee pain, lumbago, and lipidemia. She has experienced hyperhidrosis since birth, swelling of the upper eyelid for eight years, and weight loss for four years.
In 2019, she consulted Dr. Ragavan at Annai Hospital, Madurai, where she was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and started on anti-diabetic medications. Continuing this treatment until 2023, she then sought further care at K.R.S Hospital, Madurai. Her medical history includes a hysterectomy and oophorectomy in 2015 and a right metatarsal fracture in 2021. She has a family history of diabetes on her maternal side.
After 20 days of holistic treatments, Mrs. Angayarkanni’s blood glucose levels normalized, and she experienced significant relief from her symptoms. Under Dr. Karthik Reddy’s guidance, her medications were progressively tapered off. She noted reduced burning sensation, normal appetite, relief from body tightness, improved sleep, and a weight loss of about 5 kg. She felt refreshed, happy, and comfortable, attributing her improved health to the hospital environment, regular yoga classes, and diet modifications.

7.Conclusion:
Mrs. Angayarkani’s journey demonstrates the transformative potential of holistic interventions in managing chronic conditions like Diabetes Mellitus. After dedicated and comprehensive treatment, she experienced remarkable relief from her long-standing complaints. Her blood sugar levels normalized, alleviating the burning sensation and pain in her feet. Her energy levels improved significantly, reducing weakness and addressing the constant thirst and appetite issues. With improved hormonal balance and better nutrient absorption, her hair fall ceased, and her sleeplessness was replaced with restful nights.
The swelling of her upper eyelid, which had persisted for eight years, reduced considerably, restoring comfort and confidence. Her hyperhidrosis, a lifelong struggle, became manageable, allowing her to feel at ease in her daily life. The allergies that had troubled her diminished, and the pains in her knees and lower back (lumbago) subsided with effective interventions. Her lipid profile also improved, aiding in weight stabilization and restoring her vitality.
The marked decline in ABG and fasting blood sugar levels further validates the role of natural practices in achieving metabolic balance. This case exemplifies how personalized, holistic care can lead to substantial health improvements, reducing dependency on medications and enhancing overall quality of life.
