Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a medical condition in which the body is unable to produce sufficient amount of insulin to enable a normal glucose uptake by the body cells, thereby resulting in increased blood sugar levels.Type1 diabetic patients produce significantly less amounts of insulin while type 2 diabetic patients cannot cope up due to increased weight and metabolic dysfunction.  Because of this, type 1 diabetic patients usually required insulin injections while type 2 diabetic patients can control their blood sugar with a combination of diet, weight management, exercise, and medications.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for diabetes mellitus involves the proper use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a specific action on the glucose metabolism of the body and which help the insulin-secreting pancreas to discharge its functions in a normal manner.  Treatment needs to be tailor-made according to  the requirements of each individual patient, and may also depend upon the type of diabetes mellitus.  Type 2 diabetic patients usually require medicines both to lower blood sugar, increase insulin secretion as well as reduce body fat and overall body weight.  Type 1 diabetic patients require medicines which specifically act on the pancreas and stimulate it to secrete increased quantities of insulin so as to suit the body requirements.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic medical condition and usually requires lifelong adjustments, so as to minimize symptoms, and carry on a near normal life with the minimum required medications.  Discipline, patience, and strict control of day to day activities as well as lifestyle is a must in the successful management of diabetes mellitus.  Diet regulation, regulated physical activity, and weight control are very important in order to successfully regulated blood sugar, and minimize the chances for long-term complications resulting from diabetes mellitus.  The proper use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines can significantly alter the overall prognosis of diabetes mellitus.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Diabetes Complications

Diabetes mellitus is a medical condition which results in inadequately metabolized and excess glucose in the blood.  This excess glucose causes adverse effects on the entire body, especially on the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, extremities, the gastrointestinal system, and the brain.  Untreated diabetes mellitus can cause numerous complications in the different organs and body systems.  In addition to treatment of diabetes, a large number of individuals affected with diabetes also need separate treatment for the complications of diabetes.


Ayurvedic herbal medicines can be used very effectively to treat complications resulting from chronic diabetes.  The advantage and importance of using Ayurvedic herbal medicines in individuals affected with diabetes is that these medicines are safe for prolonged use, they treat most of the complications successfully, and they have an additional bonus of reducing blood sugar.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines can thus comprehensively treat diabetes mellitus.

Ayurvedic medicines stimulate the pancreas to start secreting adequate amounts of insulin in order to completely metabolize glucose in the blood, so that this glucose can be taken up by the cells of the body and utilised for their benefit.  Ayurvedic medicines also provide adequate blood supply to all the parts of the body so that nourishment in the form of glucose, oxygen, and other nutrients is provided regularly to the entire body.  This prevents degeneration and dysfunction of the various organs and systems in the body.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines also stimulate the important organs like the heart and kidneys as well as the gastrointestinal system to function at an optimum level, so that no dysfunction of the organs or systems is observed.  Regular treatment with Ayurvedic herbal medicines prevents deterioration of vision as well as a degeneration of the nerves.  Complications like neuropathy, intermittent diarrhea and constipation, heart attacks, and kidney failure which can be observed in chronic or untreated diabetes are thereby completely prevented with the regular use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines.

Several Ayurvedic medicines have been proved to conclusively reduce blood sugar levels in diabetic patients and the regular use of such medicines keeps diabetic patients well for prolonged periods.  Most such diabetic individuals can therefore enjoy drug-free holidays, provided they regularly monitor their blood sugar levels.  Ayurvedic herbal treatment is therefore very effective in providing treatment and improving the quality of life of diabetic patients, as well as preventing complications from diabetes.
