Natural Remedies & Herbs for Diabetes
Several herbs may help in managing symptoms associated with diabetes, including the control of blood sugar levels.
Aloe
Animal research and preliminary controlled human trials have found that Aloe vera,
either alone or in combination with the oral hypoglycemic drug glibenclamide, effectively
lowers blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.
The typical amount used in this research was 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of aloe gel
per day.
Cayenne
Double-blind trials have shown that topical application of creams containing 0.025 to 0.075%
capsaicin (from cayenne [Capsicum frutescens]) can relieve symptoms of diabetic
neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the extremities caused by diabetes). Four or more applications per day may be required to relieve severe pain. This should be done only under a doctor’s
supervision...
