Insulin Plant is a natural remedy for Diabetes

I have given some information about the benefits of honey for Diabetics, and my opinion that type-II diabetic patients can use little quantity of pure and raw honey daily.

In this post I like to share my views about one anti-diabetic plant named INSULIN Plant and its medicinal effects to treat diabetic people. Some of you may know about this plant and may be using it. 

In my view this insulin plant is a medicinal plant that has got medicinal effects to cure diabetes. The leaves of this plant help to build up insulin and that is why it is called insulin plant.

Insulin Plant leaves

The plant has large fleshy leaves (You can see the pictures taken from my Garden) and also big beautiful flowers in yellow and Orange. This plan is native to Southeast Asia, i.e. islands of Indonesia and is being cultivated in India (Himalayan regions) for medicinal purposes.

This plant belongs to the family of COSTACEAE. Consumption of the leaves from this plant is known to lower blood sugar levels. Thereby diabetics who use these leaves report a fall in their blood glucose levels.

One of the studies from Indian council of medical research reveals that the leaves of the insulin plant reduced the fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels in rats. 

This plant is easily available in most of the nurseries and in the villages in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Karnataka and some other parts of India.

How to use?

Diabetics can take two leaves in the morning and two leaves in the evening for one week. The leaves must be chewed well before swallowing.

After one week take one leaf in the morning and one in the evening. Continue this for 30 days and studies say that you can take even sweets in small quantity after completion of 30 days of treatment. Try this and see if this helps you keep away the problems of diabetes.

Is there any side effect if we use this natural herb will be your next question. Few say if it is used for a longer period it may cause some kidney problems. In my opinion any drug if is used for longer period may cause some side effects.  So we have to use for a short period and check the result and then continue if necessary.  However the diabetic patients have to take tests after using this plant and consult your Doctor. It is learnt even some allopathy doctors are recommending this herb along with their medicines. Many people are reporting this as a good medicine to help in diabetes.

There are also some other natural plants or herbs which may help to prevent or to cure diabetes but this INSULIN plant is number one.

Caution: Diabetics when using these kinds of herbs or any medicine kindly note the changes in the body due to low sugar. if you feel sudden giddiness, immediately swallow some sugar or sweets and stop the medicines that you are using for diabetes and immediately consult your doctor. Watchout for any adverse or uncomfortable reactions. Always try out medicines or herbs in small quantities carefully.
