A Glimpse Of Chinese Herbs For Diabetes
December 15th, 2007 by admin
The Chinese in the olden days considered diabetes as a wasting and thirsting syndrome, because diabetics suffered both severe thirst and hunger even as they unjustifiably lost weight. It would then appear that the Chinese identified diabetes with its external presentation. However, the interesting aspect of old the Chinese Medicine is that even though they could not determine a diabetes patient’s blood sugar level, they were able to identify herbs that controlled diabetes.
Mai men dong or Ophiopogon is the name of one of Chinese herbs that has equated itself creditably as being effective for the treatment of diabetes. This herb has proven through modern research that it contains medicinal properties that help to repair a damaged pancreas. Ophiopogon is been able to enable diabetes patient’s pancreas that were unable to produce insulin to begin producing insulin by causing the regeneration of the cells that produce insulin in their pancreases.
Then enter Tian hua fen or Trichosanthis, another of the old Chinese Medicinal herbs that has shown significant promise in the treatment of diabetes by reducing the blood sugar of diabetes patients in a recent modern day research. Both Astragalus and Chinese wild yam were also identified as being effective in the treatment of diabetes.
Bittermelon or Momordica Charantia has also been confirmed through modern research to posses the ability to lower blood sugar effectively. The research that provides this evidence were done in both Thailand and China where is was also discovered that Bittermelon could treat AIDS, and Hepatitis C.
A lot more other Chinese herbs are making the waves in the pharmaceutical circles with the potentials, when combined, to treat many other disease. For instance, a Chinese herbal formula known as Ming Mu Di Huang Wan has been used to treat vision problems in China. There are Chinese herbs for improving blood circulation and cause faster healing of wounds. Any herb that improves circulation is quite good for diabetics because the disease slows down patient’s blood circulation..
Though the ancient Chinese were unable to monitor blood sugar levels for diabetic patients then, interestingly modern scientific research indicate that the herbs the Chinese used for treating diabetes patients then were really effective.
Finally, be advised to let your doctor monitor your blood sugar while you take these herbs so that you do not over lower your blood sugar and suffer some other health issues associated with that. And as soon as your blood sugar becomes normal it is better to go off the herbs and begin using diet to control your blood sugar.
