Natural remedies for diabetes.

Natural remedies for diabetes.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus is aimed at eliminating existing symptoms without affecting the cause of the disease. Typically, therapy includes:

compensation of carbohydrate metabolism;
prevention and treatment of complications;
normalization of body weight;
patient education.

Herbal preparations are successfully used to compensate for carbohydrate metabolism. They help to increase the alkaline reserve and increase the utilization of glucose by tissues, reducing the level of glycemia. Herbal sugar lowering agents are non-toxic, have almost no side effects and do not accumulate in the body. That is why their use is possible throughout life.

PLANTS FOR DIABETES

A group of tonic herbal preparations has a hypoglycemic effect: ginseng, eleutherococcus, golden root, zamaniha. However, in hypertensive patients, these drugs should be taken with caution, and blood pressure should be controlled.

The most common uses to lower blood sugar levels are:

ordinary blueberries (decoction of leaves and berries);
wild strawberries;
walnut leaves;
burdock root;
chicory root;
elecampane root;
field horsetail grass;
deaf nettle;
dandelion root;
black elderberry flowers;
knotweed grass;
bean flaps;
peppermint leaves.

The leaves and fruits of blueberries contain inulin, which is great for treating mild diabetes. With the development of diabetes, blueberry shoots are used for treatment, from which infusions, tea, decoctions are prepared. Blueberry extract evens out the glucose level and keeps it within acceptable limits for a certain time.

The fruits and leaves of wild strawberry contain significant amounts of insulin-like and hormone-like substances. They normalize blood sugar levels and improve the overall well-being of diabetics.

Walnut leaves are most often used for type II diabetes mellitus and at the initial stages of the development of pathology. They contain vitamins C, B1, P; tannins, fatty acids, phytoncides. Biologically active substances normalize blood glucose levels and neutralize vascular spasms.

Burdock root contains the glycosides arctin and arctigenin, which have a beneficial effect on the metabolism and conversion of carbohydrates. In addition, the plant contains the polysaccharide inulin. It regulates the plasma sugar concentration, decreasing its value.

Elecampane roots are recommended for use in diabetes mellitus, because it contains bitterness, which promotes the production of insulin by the pancreas.

To lower sugar levels, use a decoction of rhizomes with elecampane roots. 1 tbsp. l. dry crushed raw materials are poured with a glass of boiling water and cooked over low heat for about 30 minutes. Use 1 tbsp. l. three times a day before meals.
For both types of diabetes, it is advisable to consume chicory daily. The extract from this plant contains the polysaccharide inulin, which allows you to maintain a stable level of glucose, avoiding sudden changes in its concentration in the blood.

The action of nettle is aimed not so much at reducing the level of glucose in the blood, as at maintaining the normal functioning of those organs that suffer from diabetes. Sodium contained in nettle leaves stimulates the production of insulin and is actively involved in metabolic processes; magnesium — enhances the secretion of insulin and its absorption by cells; vitamin PP — is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels; B vitamins, together with magnesium, improve the absorption of insulin and help reduce the dose of sugar-reducing drugs.

Bean shells have a proven hypoglycemic effect. Their principle of action is to protect beta cells from destruction, stimulate insulin secretion, optimize the transport of glucose to adipose and muscle tissues, and regulate the release of glucose from the liver.

An infusion of beans, flax seed and hawthorn fruit will help improve well-being and lower glucose levels. 30 g of each of the ingredients are mixed in an enamel bowl, 0.5 liters of boiling water is poured and insisted in the heat for 10 hours. Strain and take before meals 100 ml three times a day.
Thanks to the complex of biologically active substances, peppermint will help reduce blood sugar levels.
