Have we entered a new era? What does that mean? In the past, if I had an ailment, I was looking to get rid of the problem as quickly as possible. And usually take some drug to alleviate the pain or problem. Maybe you think of this route as I did.
I am still looking to get rid of my disease as fast as possible BUT, I am looking for some alternative to drugs. Same thing with diabetes. I have had high blood sugar levels. By using a natural diabetes treatment I was able to lower both my blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C. For me this is the only way to go.
Here is your list of herbs for natural diabetes treatment.
asian ginseng
Asian ginseng is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine as a natural treatment for diabetes. It has been shown to enhance insulin release from the pancreas and increase the number of insulin receptors. It also has a direct blood sugar lowering effect. A recent study found that 200 mg of ginseng extract per day improved blood sugar control and energy levels in type 2 diabetes (NIDDM).
Pterocarpus Marsupium – (This sounds like the name of a possum)
The tree is the source of the Kino of the European pharmacopoeias. The gum resin looks like dried blood (dragon’s blood) (how appetizing). This is often used in India as a natural treatment for diabetes. The flavonoid, (-)-epicatechin, extracted from the bark of this plant, has been shown to prevent alloxan-induced beta-cell damage in rats. Both epicatechin and a crude alcohol extract of Pterocarpus marsupium have been shown to regenerate functional pancreatic beta cells. No other drug or natural agent has been shown to perform this activity.
wild gymnema
Gymnema helps the pancreas in the production of insulin in type 2 diabetes. Making this herb an effective natural treatment for diabetes. Gymnema also improves the ability of insulin to lower blood sugar in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It decreases cravings for sweets. This herb can be an excellent substitute for oral medications to lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. Some people take 500 mg per day of gymnema extract.
Fenugreek
Experimental and clinical studies have shown the antidiabetic properties of fenugreek seeds. The active ingredient responsible for fenugreek’s antidiabetic properties is found in the defatted portion of the seed, which comprises the alkaloid trogonellin, nicotinic acid, and coumarin.
Two good friends to have: onion and garlic
Here are two easy-to-find natural diabetes treatments. Go see the pantry. These two bulbs have been effective in having a blood sugar lowering action.
The effects were similar in raw and boiled onion extracts. Onions affect hepatic glucose metabolism and/or increase insulin release and/or stop insulin destruction.
Onion extract was found to lower blood sugar levels during oral and intravenous glucose tolerance. The more onion extract used, the better the results. Beneficial effects were also seen even at low levels used in the diet (eg, 25 to 200 grams). Raw or boiled onion made no difference to the results. Onions affect hepatic glucose metabolism and/or increase insulin release. This can also prevent the destruction of insulin.
The bonus you get from using garlic and onions is their beneficial cardiovascular effects. They have been found to lower lipid levels, inhibit platelet aggregation, and are antihypertensive. Therefore, the liberal use of onion and garlic is recommended for diabetic patients. Two great natural treatments for diabetes.
Just be careful not to get too close to people when using these foods.
blueberry leaves
Bilberry anthocyanosides increase capillary reliability, inhibit free radical damage and improve the quality of the vascular system. In Europe, it is used as an antihemorrhagic agent in the treatment of eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. I’ve heard for a long time how good blueberries are. As a natural diabetes treatment it makes perfect sense to me.
A mixture of the leaves of the cranberry has a long history of popular use in the treatment of diabetes. The myrtillin compound is apparently the most active ingredient. Upon injection it is somewhat weaker than insulin but is less toxic, even at 50 times the therapeutic dose of 1 g per day. For weeks, one dose has proven to be an effective natural treatment for diabetes.
Blueberry
Bilberry may reduce the risk of some diabetic complications, such as diabetic cataracts and retinopathy.
ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba extract may be useful in the prevention and treatment of early-stage diabetic neuropathy.
Cinnamon – Triple effectiveness of insulin
The benefits of using natural diabetes treatments compared to the use of medications are many. Two are; they are safer to use and solve the problem without the side effects that often accompany medications. You may need to experiment with these alternative remedies to find the one that works best for you. Be responsible with your care.
You have been given a list of at least seven natural treatments for diabetes. I have had success using some of these herbs. I hope you do too.
