Herbal and Botanical Innovations for Healthy Glucose Levels

Herbal and botanical innovations should not be discounted when it comes to keeping healthy glucose levels. Since they are part of nature, they have natural ingredients that effectively give advantageous benefits that contribute to keeping us generally healthy.

Using herbal and botanical remedies of achieving healthy glucose levels is one of the most effective ways of treating diabetes. While these natural treatments have “miraculous” healing powers, one should still consult the experts and should not directly substitute them to existing medications.

The following are discovered by botanical and science research which are said to be great contributors to healthy blood glucose levels:

Bitter melon

Bitter melon has shown ability to enhance the cell’s reaction to glucose, control insulin effect and enhance the release of insulin. Furthermore, it helps normalize fasting glucose, lower triglycerides and bad cholesterol (LDL).

Cinnamon

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dr. Richard Anderson discovered that cinnamon’s significant use is normalizing and regulating glucose. Cinnamon has been discovered by herbal and medical innovations to being capable of lowering cholesterol and triglycerides by reviving the ability of the body’s other cells and fats to react to insulin.

American Ginseng (AM)

American Ginseng contributes to lowering blood glucose levels, controlling diabetes and reducing other risks like hypertension, hyperlipidemia. It also improves the control of insulin resistance. It shows effective ability to change the rate of nutrient absorption in the small bowel.

Garlic

Allium sativum, more known as garlic is noted to offer good effects in circulation of blood, has antioxidant properties and slows insulin degradation. So far, there are still few studies that prove the positive effects of garlic to blood sugar levels; but the results are positive.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera is one great herbal and botanical innovation that contributes to lowering diabetics’ blood glucose levels. It is a household plant that looks like a cactus. It exists generally everywhere and known to treat burns, heal wounds and are used as after-sun lotion. Aloe vera is regarded as a healing herb and its gel and sap which are taken from the leaves’ inner portion are used to treat diabetes traditionally.
