A Bit About the Disease:-

Diabetes mellitus, or simply, Diabetes, is a deviation from the natural health condition of the body, and is characterized by less than optimum utilization of glucose by the body due to partial or complete lack of insulin produced by the pancreas. The symptoms include excessive urine production, or polyuria, excessive thirst and increased fluid intake, or polydipsia, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss and lethargy. Diabetes is of two types – Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 Diabetes is generally, but not necessarily, a birth defect where the body just doesn’t produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar at normal levels. Type 2 Diabetes afflicts mostly people with excessive weight and the condition is characterized by the inability of the body to use insulin secreted by the pancreas. There is also a less common type of Diabetes – Gestational Diabetes – that occurs in women during the second half of pregnancy and disappears after delivery.

Natural Remedies for Treating Diabetes:-

Type 2 Diabetes is also known as a ‘lifestyle disease’, which simply means that it can be prevented by taking some positive lifestyle improvement measures, and controlled by resorting to multiple natural remedies. The following few paragraphs enunciate some of the effective natural remedies to treat Diabetes.

The first thing you can do is to change your lifestyle from lethargic to a more active one. Daily regular walk and moderate exercise form part of a natural health routine. Physical exercise must be supported by Yoga asanas to be performed under the assistance and guidance of an expert. Remember, Yoga is definitely beneficial for your health, but if performed in a wrong manner, it can also lead to further health complications. The aim is to reduce the weight in a healthy manner and to achieve ideal bodyweight.

Diet restriction is also part and parcel of a Diabetic’s life. Don’ts include alcohol, soft drinks, sugary desserts, fruit-juice, fatty, fried, and cholesterol-rich food. Do’s include vegetables, fruit, fermented whole grains, fiber-rich food, bitter gourd, almonds, and substances high in omega three oils (olive oil, flaxseed oil, fish oil, borage oil).

As an integral part of natural health, plenty of home remedies are also prescribed for the treatment of Diabetes. Some of these include:-

1. Take 1-liter of boiling water and add 3-tablespoons of cinnamon. Simmer for 20 minutes and then, strain the mixture. Drink this mixture daily.
2. Drink watery juice of a small Bitter Gourd every morning.
3. Boil 3-4 fresh leaves of mango tree in the morning and drink.

Undoubtedly, there are plenty more natural remedies available for the treatment of Diabetes. In fact, our traditional knowledge has proven more than occasionally that attainment of natural health through natural means in not only desirable, but also possible.
