Blood sugar problems are common in both sexes, and diabetes affects people of all cultures, religions and countries. While allopathic medicines help keep diabetes in control, they do not offer a permanent cure. Many people also have problems in regulating their blood sugar levels with such medicines, and this is exactly why more and more individuals are opting for naturopathy treatment for diabetes. Read on and find out how naturopaths used various natural ways to offer a permanent cure for blood sugar problems.

Herbs are one of the main remedies for diabetes, and most naturopathic centers stress on the use of herbs such as Cheldonium, Syzgium cumini and Gymnema for treating blood sugar problems. Fig leaves, Guduchi, mango leaves, cinnamon and aloe vera are some other plants that are commonly used for lowering sudden spikes in sugar level in the bloodstream. Many of these herbs, other than curing diabetes, also help reduce high cholesterol, high blood pressure and various other common health problems.

It has been scientifically proven that the consumption of at least 600 mg Vitamin C on a daily basis can help keep the blood sugar levels normal. More than Vitamin C supplements, naturopaths recommend the use of natural fruits rich in Vitamin C, such as Amla or Indian Gooseberry, lemons and oranges. All citrus fruits are rich sources of this vitamin. Other than stabilizing high blood sugar levels, Vitamin C is also effective in boosting immunity. As is well-known, diabetics suffer from impaired immunity. Regular consumption of Vitamin C helps boost the immune system of even chronic diabetics.

Naturopathy treatment for diabetes in India also consists of exercises, such as Yoga, which are known to be very effective in helping the pancreas secrete the hormone known as insulin that is important for regulating sugar levels in the bloodstream. Various studies have confirmed that regular practice of Yogic postures such as Plough Pose, Half-Spinal Twist, Twisted Pose and Bow Pose squeeze the abdomen and stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin. Pranayama or breathing exercises and meditation also helps reduce stress, which is known to be a major cause for rise in blood sugar levels.

Naturopaths also recommend several changes in the lifestyle of diabetics, to bring about a holistic development in their condition. Diabetics are advised to eat high fiber diet, drink more water, consume fewer amounts of beverages such as alcohol and avoid refined flour, deep fried food and sweet fruits. They are also advised to go to sleep and wake up at regular hours. In other words, they are recommended a definite sleep-wake cycle which can beat stress and help diabetes sufferers and keep their glands and organs in good health.
