Diabetes - How Can Homeopathy Help?

The pancreas secretes the insulin hormone, the proper functioning of which combats the adverse effects of rising glucose levels in the blood. Hence homeopathic medicine concentrates mostly on healing and improving the functioning of your pancreas which in turn leads to efficient insulin production.

Losing weight may not always be a happy thing! If you have unintentionally lost about 5 kilograms in less than 6 months, then it is definitely a cause of concern. People with diabetes have insufficient insulin production which prevents the body cells from absorbing glucose from the blood and use them as energy. When that happens, your body consumes the fat and muscles to generate energy from them, leading to rapid weight loss. Your homeopath may prescribe you Gymnema Sylvestre, which activates the insulin hormone and can help you to gain weight and feel energetic.

Sweet potatoes have a very low glycaemic index (Glycaemic Index refers to the rate at which carbohydrate turns into sugar in blood) and contain 26 grams of carbohydrates of which 3.8 grams are essential fibres. Hence, consuming sweet potatoes in modest amounts keeps your blood sugar level in the healthy range and the fibre content enhances your metabolism.

This is because of the stress it causes you! Stress lowers the metabolism rate in your body, making you burn less number of calories and increasing the risk of obesity. Obesity causes the release of fat molecules into the blood which affects insulin production and your body s ability to respond to insulin, thereby causing Diabetes. Moreover, stress enhances cortisol production which increases glucose distribution in your blood leading to Type 2 diabetes. Your homeopathic physician may suggest you Syzygium Jambolanum which efficiently works to reduce the blood sugar level in your body.
