Experience Better Diabetes Management with These 4 Herbs

Modern medicine is a wonderful thing, especially in emergency cases when new diagnostic tools and technology can help save someone’s life. But, more often than not, when it comes to preventing or managing chronic illnesses conventional treatments can be lacking.

Take diabetes for instance. Conventional wisdom says that managing diabetes means regulating blood sugar levels. Most industry doctors are constantly telling their patients to check blood sugar and take this or that medication to regulate it.

But the problem with this modern thinking is that it is a symptoms-only approach to health and well-being. This is where a holistic approach can do wonders. Instead of focusing on blood sugar levels as a measure of success and putting the entire blame on the pancreas’ inability to create enough insulin (when it’s most likely a whole-body deficiency), holistic treatments are powerful because they can restore the body’s ability to heal itself.

Actually, science is even now starting to question whether diabetes is solely about controlling blood sugar or does it have more to do with the body’s regulation of the hormones insulin and leptin and how well it makes use of available energy. “Diabetes is the end point of deranged sugar and carbohydrate metabolism,” according to Dr. Larry Wilson, M.D.. In fact, the term “diabetes” may turn out to be an umbrella term for a cluster of symptoms that are not yet fully understood by medical science, all the more reason to take an alternative whole-body approach to care and management of the disease.

Studies have demonstrated that diabetes management can be benefited from a variety of herbs, particularly the following four:

Gymnema Sylvestre

The Hindi’s fun name for this powerful herb is the “sugar destroyer.” This plant is considered one of the most powerful herbs that can be used for the regulations of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Gymnema can reduce the craving for sweets, and studies have shown its ability to stimulate the production and secretion of the body’s own insulin. It does this by regenerating the pancreas’ beta cells. Though further studies of the herb are pending, so far no negative side effects have been demonstrated and it appears safe to take on a daily basis.

Ginseng

The Chinese have been using ginseng for thousands of years and it is an herb you have probably heard of before. But did you know it can increase the release of insulin from the pancreas as well as the number of insulin receptors present?

One study of the herb indicated that just 200 milligrams per day over the course of 8 weeks improved blood sugar control, body weight and energy levels in Type 2 diabetics.

Gingko biloba

Not only is it a lot of fun to say, it is highly effective in increasing blood flow throughout the body making it an important element in the treatment of vascular insufficiency which is common among diabetics. Poor circulation can ultimately lead to amputation in diabetics.

Clinical studies have shown Ginko can prevent diabetic retinopathy (a common diabetic eye disease which can lead to blindness) in diabetic rats and may, therefore, be similarly effective in human patients.

Nopal leaves

Found throughout parts of Mexico and traditionally served with eggs, in salads or part of a stir-fry dish, Nopal leaves have been found effective in treating everything from cancer to cardiovascular disease to cholesterol levels to improving blood sugar levels.

Besides herbs there are other nutritive solutions to help you manage your diabetes and you most likely have them in your kitchen right now.

Increasing the amount of onions and garlic you eat may not be appreciated by your family and friends, but it will be by your body. Onions and garlic contain allyl propyl disulfide (APDS) which helps your body use insulin more efficiently.

And, as long as your doctor or nutritionist is supervising your diet, increasing the foods that contain magnesium and chromium can also be beneficial, as studies have shown these minerals may help improve insulin and overall metabolic function. Foods rich in chromium are: brown rice, cheese, meats and broccoli. Foods rich in magnesium are: seafood, nuts and grains, green veggies and legumes.

If managing your diabetes the natural way makes sense to you, then you most likely would want to know about a 100% natural protocol that could completely reverse the root cause of your blood sugar imbalance.
