There are perhaps millions of people in this world suffering from high blood glucose or Diabetics. While medicines can keep things in control to a certain level, there is no permanent cure for diabetics in modern medical science. So does Ayurveda really have the power to heal Diabetics?

Diabetics  is a condition where there is Sugar level fluctuations in the body, due insufficient insulin production by the Pancreas or the body-cells not responding properly to the insulin produced. Prolonged diabetics can adversely affect organs functions in the body and in worst cases may lead to loss or vision, strokes, heart-attacks, kidney problems and many other serious health implications.

Ayurveda claims to provide alternative treatment for chronic illnesses, including diabetics.  Ayurvedic practitioners create individualized diet, exercise, and lifestyle as well as procedural, medicinal, and herbal prescriptions in order to bring their patient’s doshas into optimal balance to heal disease in them.  Here are some commonly used Ayurvedic treatment patterns.

Diet: A special diet prepared keeping in mind the patient’s dosha is believed to help them balance their dosha and achieve optimal health benefits.

Yoga Exercises: Certain yogic asanas like Bhujangasana (Cobra pose)Trikonasana (the triangle pose)Shalabhasana (Grasshopper/Locust pose) Vakrasana (Twisted pose) have proven to be beneficial for people suffering from diabetics

Medication: Certain natural herbs that are used in the medication of diabetic patients like Cinnamon, Bitter melon, Milk thistle, Fenugreek, Gymnema are highly beneficial for the condition.

Besides the above there are many other lifestyle changes, like regulating sleep pattern, drinking water from a copper vessel, meditation – aid in the cure of diabetics. The holistic approach of Ayurveda has cured many patients from this incurable disease and curbed the sugar levels in serious cases. Hence it can be rightly said that Ayurveda has the power to cure diabetics.
