Diabetes is an incurable disease that requires adherence to a specific diet, lifestyle, and medication regimen throughout one’s life. All necessary medications are prescribed by a doctor. Treatment of diabetes with folk remedies enhances the action of medications and helps maintain blood sugar levels within acceptable limits. However, it does not replace medical treatment. Let’s consider the most popular and effective folk methods that can help reduce the amount of medication.
Treatment of diabetes with wild rose
Rosehip is well-known for its vitamin composition, especially its high vitamin C content. Rosehip is also capable of reducing blood sugar levels. Let’s prepare an infusion:
- Wash, dry, and finely chop five rosehips.
- Pour a glass of boiling water over them and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for five minutes.
- Infuse for four hours. Strain. Take three times a day half an hour before meals. Course duration: one month.
Treatment of diabetes with garlic-horseradish brew
This simple recipe normalizes blood sugar levels within a month.
- Wash the horseradish root well but do not peel.
- Finely chop and place in a one-liter glass bottle.
- Crush nine cloves of garlic and add to the bottle with horseradish.
- Pour fresh beer over the mixture.
- Infuse for ten days in a dark place. Then strain. Take one teaspoon three times a day for the first two days. After that, take one tablespoon before meals. Course duration: one month.
Infusion of birch buds and yeast against diabetes
Twice a day, eat two teaspoons of raw, peeled yeast. Simultaneously, take an infusion of birch buds, one-third of a glass each time.
- Pour two tablespoons of birch buds with two glasses of boiling water.
- Infuse for six hours. Then strain. In autumn and winter, drink half a glass of sauerkraut brine. The treatment is prolonged: several months.
Lowering sugar with white beans
Soak three white beans in half a glass of cold water overnight. In the morning, eat the beans and drink the water.
Treatment of diabetes with bay leaf
Place ten average-sized bay leaves in a glass jar. Pour three cups of boiling water over them. Infuse for three hours. Drink half a glass three times a day.
Walnut and diabetes
For the recipe, you need partitions from ripe walnuts. Pour forty grams of raw material with two glasses of boiling water and simmer over low heat for an hour. Take a quarter of a glass in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.
Treatment with oats
Pour a hundred grams of ripe oats with three cups of boiling water. Place on a water bath for fifteen minutes. Then remove from heat and leave for another forty-five minutes. Strain and transfer to a glass container. Add enough boiled water to make the total volume 600 milliliters. Close the container with a cork. Store in the refrigerator for no more than two days. Take half a glass warm three times a day before meals.
Treatment of diabetes with herbs
Some herbs are capable of lowering blood sugar levels. All infusions are prepared as follows:
Pour two tablespoons of the herbal mixture into two cups of boiling water.
Boil for fifteen minutes in a water bath.
Infuse in a thermos for one and a half hours.
Strain and bring to the original volume with boiled water.
Take half a glass three times a day half an hour before meals. Now, let’s look at the herbal mixtures themselves (the proportions of ingredients are indicated in parentheses):

Gasoline treatment for diabetes
For treatment, only aviation gasoline is suitable. For a month, every morning, you need to take a teaspoon of purified “fuel.” Wash it down with sea buckthorn or sunflower oil, half a tablespoon.
How to purify aviation gasoline yourself? Pour it into a jar with “Extra” salt. Infuse for a day. Then carefully pour the gasoline into another container, trying not to disturb the salt. Strain the “fuel” again through cheesecloth.
Unconventional methods for treating diabetes
They are effective at the initial stage of the disease when it is still possible to normalize blood sugar levels through diet and physical activity. Unconventional methods will help achieve results faster. However, they can only be used after consulting a specialist.
Acupressure
The procedure cannot be combined with the intake of insulin-containing medications. That is, acupressure is contraindicated for patients with type 1 diabetes. Twenty-three points on our body help reduce blood sugar levels. Massage can be done independently, but it’s best to use the services of a professional. The recommended course is twelve sessions, conducted in the first half of the day. Attention! If dizziness or weakness occurs after the session, acupressure is not suitable for the patient.
Yoga
This is the oldest method of self-regulation of the psyche and physical health. In diabetes, dynamic and breathing exercises are performed to normalize the functioning of the endocrine system, nervous centers, and the entire body. Clearly, without a knowledgeable instructor, it cannot be done.
Ayurveda
This methodology can be described as certain hand movements. These movements are called mudras. In diabetes, the “life-saving” mudra is performed. Sit in the lotus position, facing east. Relax all the muscles of your body. Place your elbows on your knees. Touch the bases of your thumbs with the pads of your index fingers of the same hand. Straighten your little fingers. Join the remaining fingers’ pads. Be persistent in finding an effective recipe!
