Following herbs are effective to treat diabetes, and they also don’t have any harmful side effects:

- Bitter melon (balsam pear)

- Indian Kino also called Malabar Kino, Pitasara or Venga

- Ordinary onion and garlic

- Blueberry leaves

- Ginkgo Biloba

- Cinnamon

Even though every country has some native herbs, most of them originated in china and other Asian countries. One reason is climate – warm and humid it promotes plants growth and it is also a traditional way of living using healing herbs to fight diseases where even modern drugs don’t work. For example a tropical fruit called bitter melon is an effective diabetes herb. If you it fresh or drink its juice it significantly reduces your blood sugar.

Is using diabetes herbal remedies better than conventional diabetes medicine?

Explanation of diabetes herbs popularity is simple; people use herb medicine instead of the traditional drugs because herbs are safe for your health and have minimal side effects. Many people are concerned that herbs don’t cure diseases quickly enough. This is true, herbs work but may take several months to see the effect. Because natural medicinal herbs stimulate your immune system to fight diabetes and that takes time.

Natural medicinal herbs for diabetes are only beneficial if taken regularly and exactly as prescribed. Also remember to finish the course even after you started to feel better. Otherwise you will not gain the full benefit of herbal treatment.

Diabetics whom modern medicine didn’t work prefer healing the natural way using medicinal herbs. The beauty of herbs is that they don’t cause more health problems than they cure, but you still need to administer the right ingredients. It is also greatly important to take the correct among of your diabetes herbs and to do so with right intervals. To know exactly what remedies are best for you, you need to get a professional medical opinion, to whether or not you should use a particular herbal diabetes treatment.

Talk to your doctor, don’t self medicate

Many people have the tendency to self-medicate, because herbal remedies usually can’t do you any harm. However, remember that herbs won’t work if you chose the wrong herb, quantity or treatment.

I want to start practice in diabetes……. Is there any expert guide me planning diabetes treatment for my patients belong to india. . . I want to include herbal treatment in my portfolio. and yes, result should be cent percent with 100 percent commitment

A: There are no herbal cures for diabetes. According to the FDA that has run hundreds of clinical trials and testing for just as many so called herbal cures, non have ever been found to have any significance on treating diabetes. This is one of the reasons that the FDA has not approved any of them for use in treating diabetes. Even things like cinammon, and chromium picolate have absolutely no significant actions in lowering blood sugars. (although some people swear by them) I went to a very reputable chinese doctor for acupuncture and herbal treatment and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks and almost died from it. Herbal remedies may be fine for some things, but diabetes in NOT one of them. I go to diabetic ed. classes every month and have talked to dozens of people who tried herbal treatments with no results, and some actually had adverse reactions. It has also been the subject of a few of our classes..

Q: what is the herbal remedy for diabetes?
A diabetic patient for years has got a wound on his foot. The wound is not getting healed. Due to naturopathic treatment diabetes has come under control without any medicine. Only by cleansing the body internally the count has come down to 80. But the wound, a growth in the wound is not getting cured. The growth part has to be taken out by a surgeon to get the wound cured according to the Naturopathy doctor. Any remedy except surgery ?

A: There is no herbal remedy for diabetes. While some diabetics are able to control their disease with diet and exercise, most need real medication for it.

Diabetics are notoriously slow healers. The patient needs allopathic medicine, not just “herbal remedies”, in order to heal. Otherwise, this patient is likely to have an amputation in the near future. There’s no herbal remedy for amputation, either.

Q: I am diabetic for last about 15 years. Would request for guidance on herbal treatments for Stress Diabetes.?
My blood sugar level goes up in periods of mental stress . I am also on medicines for stress control .

A: There is no herbal cure or remedy for Diabetes.
There is one for stress though, “Kava Kava” but its very potent and if you overdose on it it could hurt your liver.
Go see a Herbalist, explain the stress and they will come up with a solution, then see a Doctor with that solution and compare notes.
Beware taking Magnesium and Chromium as they contain BE’s which will slightly increase to your sugar levels.
Also exercises will help in reducing your Diabetes and stress, try Yoga as it has always helped my stress and Diabetes.

Q: Are there any herbal treatments for type 1 diabetes?

A: Lots. Just from the top of my head (I am working to be a nutritionalist) fenugreek will balance blood sugar levels, chromium is ESSENTIAL for doing the same thing. Without a chromium supplement, diabetes will worsen over time. B-Complex is important, and alpha lipoic acid will slow the progression of the disease and prevent nerve damage. Cinnamon also helps blood sugar.

Q: Is there a natural diabetes treatment?
My mom’s recently have diabetes. I would like to know if we can avoid drugs and just stick with anything herbal or natural?

A: Some diabetics are able to control their disease with diet and exercise and losing weight. Most, however, do need drugs.

Herbs ARE drugs. The thing about herbs is that you will never know just how much of the active ingredient you get when you take herbs, as it will vary according to how the plant was raised. At any rate, while some herbs and spices have shown some promise, for the most part, they only SLIGHTLY decrease blood sugar, if they’re effective at all. And a slight decrease is not enough to avoid organ damage.

Anyone who tells you any differently will usually have some of this magic herb or treatment to sell you.

You might have heard that cinnamon helps diabetes. There was ONE study that showed that it lowered blood sugar. Subsequent studies didn’t show that result, so don’t count on cinnamon to treat diabetes.

Q: Mellit for Cat Diabetes has any one had sucesss with herbal treatments?
My cat hads diabetic symptoms and no bacteria found in his urine. I dont have the money to do a full blood work up so Im going to try him on Diabestes herbal treatment If that fails them I will try insulin. What do you think of herbal treatments
The full work up on blood would be to see if he is in kidney or liver failure. And the vet wants me to sign off to proceed with the insulin because he doesnt have a full knowledge with his condition. He 4yrs old
i cant afford it.

A: Hi Please read my profile an you can email me with aditionakl questions if you want

You should get a full bloodwork done although it is not needed for just diagnosing diabetes. You can get ketodiastic reagent strips from the pharmacy to see if sugar is spilling in the urine. If it is a fructosimine would be needed to confirm or eny diabetes. Blood glucose levels can be skewed due to stress, infection or other factors
Insulin is a hormone the body produces. If your cat has diabetes it is not producing it. There are No herbal treatments or any thing else that will help besides insulin. The shots don’t hurt, are easy to give and cats can even go into remission where they can be diet controlled. Please treat. I will help you every step of the way and even help you save money. Diabetes is not a eath sentence, no quality of life or life span needs to be lost and your cat can live a long happy life with it
The number 1 cause of diabetes—–DRY FOOD You want to feed canned no gravy
More tips
You do not need to leave your cat at the vet for treatment if there are no ketones. cats cannot be regulated at the vets office
Doses should start at no more then 1 unit 2x a day
You do not need or want the prescription foods the vet sells
This is a proactive disease and you need to be in control. I can teach you how

Q: Any natural, holistic, herbal or alternative treatments/supplements for rheumatoid arthritis w/diabetes?
For a young (34), athletic man who is also diabetic.

Q: Does anyone know any kind of pain treatment for Diabetic nerve damage that is natural or herbal?
My mother is 63 years old and has Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, Shingles, Gout, Edema, and Lung Disease. Over the past 14 months she has injured the bottom of her feet , the first injury occur ed when she stepped on an ice cube that was on the kitchen floor. She didn’t slip and she did not fall but the pain that was to come for the next 2 weeks was most excruciating and almost unbearable at times! She could not walk on either foot or bear any weight on them, it was really unbelievable the pain in both feet from so little trauma to the one foot!! About 8 days ago she stepped on a little bitty piece of macaroni on the kitchen floor and has been writhing in pain and unable to walk ever since!! She has been taking Ati van and Tram dole for the pain but its pretty much not doing anything. What Im wondering is if there is any Herbal or natural products to help ease this type of pain??

A: Capcasin Cremes.

These are available Over The Counter at most pharmacies.

Capcasin is the chemical in jalapenos that makes them “hot”. But when rubbed on the hands and feet, it deadens the pain.

But the BEST remedy is to KEEP the blood sugars in the normal range. When the blood sugars are kept in the normal range for long periods of time, the symptoms of diabetes, including the nerve pain, will reduce.

Q: how effective is chinese herbal/natural medicine?
How is the chinese population vs american population in regards to diabetes? longevity? dementia? alzheimers? arthritis? Do the chinese suffer less due to these medical treatments? Is it not as prevalent due to their diet?

A: Chinese Herbal Medicine has been used for thousands of years. A country cannot achieve a population of over a billion if your system of medicine doesn’t work. Our health care system is based on drugs and surgery, so alternative medicine is rarely prescribed. The drug companies hate it.

A: The pathophysiology is basically this (although there’s far more to it)… too high an intake of carbohydrates combined with insufficient exercise resulting in excess triglycerides with resultant insulin resistance, and excess buildup of blood glucose resulting in all kinds of system failures.

This is not an easy thing to adequately answer here . Maybe if you read this: http://www.naturalnews.com/025405.html

A: You need a nurses care plan guide and your nurses diagnosis handbook they will guide you through these. Don’t get all shook up. Just take each step by itself and then move to the next one. I was nervous the first time too. They aren’t that hard after the first couple are behind you.

Q: Stop Frequent Urination, not caused by Diabetes or Prostate?
Hi there, I am a male in my late twenties, early thirties who (mostly during the night) has to use the bathroom quite a bit. It disturbs my sleep and even though I’m down for about 8-10 hours, I still feel miserable when I get up. I have gone to the doctor and been cleared from having diabetes and from having anything wrong with my prostate or even a UTI.

It isn’t an unstoppable urge to go and I certainly have control of my bladder, but it’s almost like a discomfort that won’t go away until I pee… and sometimes it’s the smallest amount that makes me get up in the middle of the night – almost not worth it.

I have heard of herbal things you can take (like green tea extract or something) to help with this problem… is this true? Anyone have any non-medical treatments?

Thanks!

A: Do Keigel (pronounced kee-gal) exercises to help this. Pinch the muscle that you would use to stop the flow if you were actually peeing (try it once when you’re at the toilet) and hold it for 10 seconds. Do this 10 or so times every day – while you’re sitting in the car, or while you’re at your desk working… wherever.

Increasing the muscular control there will alleviate the pressure that your bladder puts on that muscle, which is what makes you feel like you have to go. As an added bonus, it will help give you more control and power in your sexual function.
