Natural Diabetes Treatments

By making your pancreas healthy again, you can potentially solve the majority of diabetes problems. This will take time, and if you currently take insulin shots or pills, you will need to work closely with your doctor or primary care provider during the healing process, because your medications may need to be adjusted as your health improves.

The first way to start dealing with diabetes problems is to change how you eat. If you haven't done so already, you should eliminate simple carbohydrates and sugars from your diet. A low to moderate carb diet works well for regulating blood sugar levels, and many people have actually been able to completely go off insulin shots just by taking this one simple step.

The next natural step you'll want to consider, is using herbs designed to help heal and strengthen the pancreas. One effective combination includes Goldenseal, Juniper Berries, Uva Ursi, Huckleberry Leaves, Mullein, Comfrey, Yarrow, Garlic, Capsicum, Dandelion, Marshmallow, Buchu, Bistort and Licorice. You can just take one of each of these every day, but it will be easier if you find a local herbalist to mix a combination formula for you instead.

If you are borderline diabetic, or you want to experiment slowly with natural remedies for the problem, try taking just Goldenseal by itself. This is a natural source of insulin, and should not be taken by hypoglycemics. Again, diabetics should talk to their doctors about this if they're taking prescribed insulin, because the combination can be dangerous.
