Pranam WRT: "There was one herbal juice manufactured in HP in large medical shops like Medplus, Apollo etc in Chennai two years. Large stocks The medicine was concentrated and to be added with water and consumed in the morning. Many said blood sugar levels reduced wonderfully . I was one among many purchases. Initially what a wonder- blood sugar levels reduced by30 points in the first bottle... But later the effect reduced and became nil reduction. I use the excellent empty bottles after cleaning to keep drinking water. I checked the bottle for effects. There was no word printed in microscopic letters that was good to reduce blood sugar levels. Still medical shops concentrate. But the quantity on display is less. If any body requires they would get if stock is exhausted.Gopalakrishnan KR MANAGING DIABETICS WRT Mr G’s herbal water
1 Managing diabetes is not tough, only if you have timed your diet and exercises well. *A healthy diet, exercises and a fit lifestyle could easily help control your unstable blood sugar levels and reduce the symptoms of this lifestyle health condition. While there are medications that may help control diabetes, there are certain home remedies that could also keep the blood sugar levels in check.* We have such wonders hidden in our kitchens and gardens. *Some **herbs* <https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/10-dried-herbs-you-must-have-in-your-kitchen-cupboard-1439762>* are said to help manage diabetes, the healthy way.* We tell you some of the herbal drinks you could prepare at home to ensure a healthy body. *Make sure you compliment them with a balanced diet, physical activity and lead a fit and healthy lifestyle to see effective results. Also, do consult a doctor before making any such changes in your life to avoid any complications.* *Herbal drinks to manage blood sugar levels:* *1. Ginseng tea* Known for its immunity-boosting and disease-fighting benefits, this Chinese herb has many studies that have proved positive for diabetes. *As per the researchers, ginseng tends to slow down carbohydrate absorption; increases the cell's ability to use glucose; and increases insulin secretion from the pancreas.* You could prepare ginseng tea in the morning to keep blood glucose levels in check. While ginseng is available in tablet and powder forms, it is best to consume it in fresh form. *2. Aloe vera tea* According to a study published in the *journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics*, aloe vera could help improve HbA1c levels in people with type-2 diabetes and reduce fasting plasma glucose levels in those with prediabetics. *Aloe vera has long been used as a herbal medicine to treat and manage most health conditions. It is used in its raw form; all you need to do is to let the sap dry and then steep it into water. Drink the elixir and bring some stability in the blood sugar levels.* *3. Sage tea* *Sage has shown to have the ability to boost insulin activity in diabetics. All you need to do is simply pour a cupful of boiling water over a tablespoon of sage leaves and steep to the desired strength before straining out the leaves. *Drinking sage tea in the morning could be more effective. Make sure you consult a doctor before switching to any of these remedies, as consuming both medication and these herbal drinks simultaneously could drop your blood sugar levels significantly, further causing unwanted complications.

Ayurveda has many tips that could help you through.Diabetes Mellitus is a condition that hinders your body's ability to respond to insulin, which eventually leads to abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, leading to spiked blood sugar levels. Diabetes is one of the most common health conditions faced by millions across the world. The startling figures and data from the WHO call for an immediate attention of even those who do not have diabetes yet but have symptoms. The first WHO Global report on diabetes demonstrates that the number of adults living with diabetes have almost quadrupled since 1980. India had an estimated 31,705,000 diabetics in the millennium year, which is estimated to grow by over 100% to 79,441,000 by 2030.Managing diabetes is tough but in no way is it impossible. Scientists across the world are working round the clock to come up with ways and medicine that could reverse the condition without any side effects. There are many ways in which you can manage your diabetes and untimely blood sugar fluctuation like by maintaining a healthy diet. Ayurveda has many tips that could help you through. In Ayurveda, diabetes <https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/how-to-control-diabetes-naturally-5-remedies-to-control-your-sugar-levels-1847527>is referred to as '*Madhumey,*' and as part of its treatment, Ayurveda, too, suggests avoiding excess intake of sweets and simple carbohydrates. It is imperative to include more green and leafy vegetables. Some bitter and healthy herbs like aloe-vera are also instrumental in managing diabetes. 1. In Ayurveda, there are three fundamental *doshas: Vata, Pitta* and *Kapha,* and good health is considered to be a perfect state of balance between these three *doshas*. Ayurveda expert Dr. Vasant Lad explains diabetes' development as a result of the "diminished functioning of *agni* (digestive fire), which may trigger high blood sugar levels. Here are a few home remedies that the book suggests: - Mix one part of *guduchi,* a part of *shardunika*, a part of *kudki *and 2 parts of *punarnava* and mix them well into a diabetic-friendly herbal mixture. Drink this herbal mixture for two to three times a day and consume with warm water.- *Turmeric Treatment:*According to Dr. Vasant Lad, increasing the intake of turmeric in the diet <https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/8-unexpected-ways-to-use-turmeric-1776681> is also beneficial in diabetes management.-*Drinking Water In Copper Vessel:* Since time immemorial, drinking water from copper vessel has been considered very healthy for overall functioning of body. According to Dr Vasant Lad, reviving this practice may help prevent fluctuation of blood sugar levels. The water stored in a copper vessel is called 'Tamra Jal' and it helps in balancing all three doshas. "Put one cup of water into a copper vessel at night and drink the water in the morning." (Also ) 2. According to Ayurvedic experts, diabetics should definitely have a stock of methi dana in their homes. You can consume methi dana sprouts or drink fenugreek water first thing in the morning. 3. Bitter Is Better: In addition to refraining from sweets, loading up on bitter ingredients like hemp seeds, bitter gourd, amla and aloe vera have also been found effective in managing and controlling diabetes 4. According to Dr. Om of Kerala Ayurveda, "all ailments in Ayurveda are due to some imbalance in an individual's *doshas.* Type 1 is described as an imbalance of the *Vata *(air and wind) *dosha.* Type 2 is an excess of the *Kapha* (water and earth)* dosha. *Eating regimented meals that contain less fatty foods thrice a day is very important. Try to avoid dairy products and opt for skimmed milk and low-fat yogurt. Ginger tea helps stimulate digestion, which is very beneficial in reducing the excess *Kapha* in your system." 5. Use Your Spices Wisely: There are many spices that have shown antidiabetic properties. For instance, asafoetida, turmeric, cinnamon, mustard and coriander, use them in your meals, drinks and manage diabetes naturally. If you are diabetic and are considering an Ayurvedic way to fight it, get in touch with a certified Ayurveda expert to learn more about natural ways to deal with the condition. Do not make any drastic dietary changes on your own. Always consult certified experts around you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4 Worrying too much about the diabetic treating iut as a disease is unwelcome; at the same time, carelessness will break the life too. Diabetic arises only because of over-eating, eating everything, Drinking, like drinks as water and so many factors, where Genetics is the last; and tension and stress is the first cause even without genetics. It teaches a human to behave like a Brahmin described in the ancient scriptures. Teaching humanity the system of life. As Corona is teaching now. Diabetic treatment is mainly controlled only by the exercises and control in food habits and timings. Medicine is 3rd. Ayurvedic is safe; Allopathic has side effects as the age goes by with the diabetic. System of self-realisation. As a matter of fact I had seen many living beyond 90 years perfect, of course with some intermittent problems as any normal human undergoes who is said to be healthy. Karma is final. My Father in law, diabetic since 40 years old, died at only 92. The Doctor's prescriptions he got were reduced, surprising the doctor. As I had seen him after our marriage, his daughter and himself, he used to be a walker all the way everyday. Took least medicine; enjoyed the food , even had payasam and sweets then and there; but every morning and evening he would take a walk as far as from T Nagar to Triplicane, My;apore with only a water bottle in his packet. One day prior to his death in the hospital , I told the doctor that he is diabetic; but to our surprise the reading was 89 < par. Without problem he went off. I am not making fun of the medicines. Or being careful. But had any one watched, the treatment from day one of a diabetic, the treatment and the dosages varied and increased from Tabs to Insulin to 10 units to 80 units to maintain the normalcy. It means that all treatments will show initially a favourable result and increase slowly, because the human forgets the usual feeling of happiness and goes back to the maintenance system. Exercising liberally is the best medicine. Herbs will work. But when we retard, we are defenceless.
