Are There Really Diabetic Hebal Remedies

Today people with diabetes also consider alternative medicines and treatments to control their diabetes. There seems to be many Diabetes Herbal Remedies and nutritional supplementation available to diabetes suffers. There is a lot of evidence pointing to the positive affect of specific diabetic herbal remedies and nutrition. It has been found through studies that diabetes herbal remedies have helped those with diabetes cut down on their medication or prevented many individuals from becoming diabetic. Diabetic herbal remedies, along with diet and lifestyle changes have brought about significant results in the fight to control diabetes. Using diabetic herbal remedies have shown decreases in sugar glucose levels and have also shown a decrease in organ and tissue damage associated with diabetes.

Here is a list of some basic Diabetic Herbal Plants and their effects on diabetes. Pterocarpus marsupium (Indian Kino, Malabar Kino, Pitasara, Venga) is a tree plant. The gum resin looks like dried blood. The bark of this tree has been used for centuries in East Indian traditional Medicine. It is used in treating diabetes. The flavonoid found in the bark and an herbal extract of Pterocarpus marsupium has shown to regenerate functional pancreatic beta cells. The pancreas beta cells are where insulin is made in the body.

Gymena Sylvestre helps the pancreas produce insulin in type 2 diabetes. It also helps the insulinï¿½s ability to lower sugar levels in the blood in both type 1 and 2 diabetes. Users of this Diabetic Herbal therapy claim that it reduces their cravings for sweets. Diabetes suffers use approximately 500 milligrams of Gymena Sylvestre as Diabetic Herbal extract.

Using one serving of Blueberry leaf as a diabetic herbal treatment is said to have a lasting effect for several weeks. The active ingredient in the Diabetic Herbal remedy is myrtilllin, a type of vegetable insulin. It helps improve eye damage caused in diabetes as well as the integrity of the capillaries. Some people even use an injection of blueberry leaf as 1 gram a day. It is however 50 times weaker than real insulin and should not be used that way as a diabetic herbal treatment without the supervision of a health care professional.

Asian Ginseng is a common diabetic herbal ingredient in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been shown to help increase the release of insulin from the pancreas and increase insulin receptors. This in turn, has a blood lowering effect. 200 milligrams a day of ginseng extract in a study recently showed an improvement in control of blood sugar levels in type 2 Diabetes.

Bilberry has shown to lower the risks of Diabetic complications with the eyes. Ginko Biloba the memory herb is a very effective Diabetic Herbal Remedy for early stage Diabetic Neuropathy. Cinnamon increases the conversion of glucose to energy by twenty times.

One Diabetic herbal remedy I came across can be made into a powder and put into #00 capsules. In fact this formula is good for all pancreatic problems: 1 part uva ursi 1 part goldenseal 1 part elecampane 2 parts dandelion root 2 parts cedar berries 1 part fennel part ginger One pill should be taken after every meal.

Blueberry leaf tea is also a good diabetic herbal recipe that is simple. You take either 1-teaspoon dry or three teaspoons of fresh blueberry leaf and steep it in boiling water for approximately 15 minutes. You can add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder if you wish. You can drink three Â½ cups per day.

I found a lot of diabetic herbal remedies one can use at home to help control their disease. This does not replace a medical doctor, nor do I suggest that these types of diabetic herbal remedies be used without your doctorï¿½s knowledge. I think you can use these as compliments to your conventional health regimen in your fight against diabetes.
