Diabetes and its Treatment
People from different cultures will mention different herbs, but the good news is that you have choices. The main benefit of taking herbs for diabetes is lowering blood sugar naturally. You may find that you like the taste of one or more better than the others, or you find the ways in which you can use it (sprinkled on food, steeped in tea or other beverages, concentrated in supplement capsules) more to your liking. You likely will also find that some seem to work better for you as an individual.
As in almost all areas of health, exercise and proper diet can help tremendously for diabetes. That does not mean a heavy exercise regimen nor does it mean a radical weight loss. Moderate exercise and a weight lose of only 5% or slightly more can make a substantial difference (and that holds true for those considered significantly overweight as well as those carrying a few pesky extra pounds.
Treatment:
1. Sprinkle cinnamon on your food for its blood sugar lowering effect - as well as its pleasant flavor. Cinnamon can also lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream, thus also helping to reduce the risk of the cardiovascular complications.
2. Start drinking a few cups a day of chamomile tea. Researchers have shown that chamomile tea taken regularly can help reduce blood sugar levels and block the activity of certain enzymes involved in leading to diabetic complications such as nerve damage, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy in the eye, and kidney damage. Chamomile also helps calm the stress response and fosters better sleep.
3. Take 400 mcg. a day of chromium picolinate makes insulin more efficient helping keep sugar level low. Chromium maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization and can be helpful for people with diabetes and/or hypoglycemia.
4. The onion has hypoglycemic (i.e. low sugar) properties. In Ayurveda, it has been investigated thoroughly for its rasayana property. Along with these properties, onion is also a mild aphrodisiac and it can promote the strength of the body. With all these properties, onion becomes a very valuable food in the treatment of diabetes.
5. One of the most important things to do when you have diabetes mellitus is stick with a regular eating schedule. This can help reduce the stress on your body and help it regulate as well as anticipate when the sugars will be present.
6. Karela Melon is one of the best home remedies for diabetes there is. It gets a lot of attention, and if you can buy it at your local stores, I'd recommend picking it up. For three months continuously, prepare a dish of the bitter melon in ghee. Have this dish once a day. This will definitely help in bringing the blood sugar to a manageable level.
7. Wash a green plantain and peel it, then put the peel in a jar and cover with water. Let sit overnight, and then drink this water three times a day. Lowers your blood sugar level. Keep drinking as needed and change the peel every other day and refill the jar with water.
