Treatment for Diabetes With Popular Herbs

Diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce enough use of insulin. The cause of diabetes then continues to be a mystery, and although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise so appear to play roles. It is a metabolic disorder that characterized by hyperglycemia and other signs just as distinct from a single illness or condition. Diabetes can cause many complications and plant derivatives to help in the treatment of diabetes that should certainly not be discounted.
Although numerous "miracle herbal cure" companies exist, and champion the ability of herbal compounds to supplement insulin as a treatment; these should not be seriously taken at face value without thorough research and consultation with experts. That is not enough to say that some of the following herbs really do not have properties that some diabetics will find beneficial. The herbs and plant derivatives listed just below have largely been employed traditionally by native people in the treatment of diabetes, in the areas in which they grow.

Indian gooseberry, a rich source of vitamin C just serves as the best home remedy for diabetes. Take 1 tbsp of gooseberry juice and mix it with a cup of bitter gourd juice. Consume the mixture daily for about 2 months.

Yemeni med: Soak 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds (Hilba) in 1 cup of water at night. Drink the water in the morning on an empty stomach and eat the seeds. Very good for diabetes because it works like insulin.

Bitter Gourd - Make a watery juice of a small Bitter Gourd (remove seeds) and drink every morning. Bitter Gourd also helps to clear pimples and maintain a good skin, and is good for de-worming the intestines.

The fenugreek plant has been used as a treatment for diabetes for around hundreds of years. Fenugreek is a proven hypoglycemic in numerous studies performed on animals, though not enough studies that have been done on humans to definitively prove the hypoglycemic effect. Fenugreek contains three compounds: rigonelline, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, and fenugreekine. The trigonelline works by slowing glucose absorption from the intestinal tract and so preventing spikes in patient blood levels after meals. The 4-hydroxyisoleucine, on the other hand, directly just appears to stimulate the production of insulin by the pancreas.
