One of the best natural supplements to help control type 2 diabetes is Costus Pictus (you can read about it on Google). The leaves of the plant have the ability to help control and normalize blood sugar levels. Research has shown that the plant extract also contains the same properties and can be consumed in a powdered form as well. There are numerous growers of the plant in India, however according to my knowledge, the only people that have a certified product with a food licence to sell the powder are a farm based in Tamil Nadu. The contact person is a gentleman by the name of Manu and he can be contacted @9881976661

Drink camel milk if available. One liter contains as much as 30 units of insulin which bypasses stomach acid and gets metabolized. You should be able to get it from commercial vendors if you live in the Middle East, Pakistan, India. https://mendoza.com/blog/?p=3317
https://defeatdiabetes.org/camel-milk-helps-prevent-diabetes/ Oramed Pharmaceuticals is entering into phase 3 [final stage] clinical trials in the production of oral insulin pill/caps for both T1 & T2 diabetes. Hopefully they will go onto the market in the near future. https://www.oramed.com/

Herbpathy Research Team

Shaheen,

PCOS is a disease in which ovaries are not able to produce eggs, which causes menstruation obstruction. It is also linked with insulin levels, high levels of insulin leads to PCOS as it encourages the rise in levels of testosterone in women.

But there is no link of Insulin Plant with PCOS. For PCOS the best remedy is Manjakani ( Quercus Infectoria ) and Shatavari ( Asparagua Racemosus ). Buy tinctures of both the herbs. Take 10 drops of each in half a glass of water. Take Shatavari in the morning and Manjakani in the evening.
These herbs help to maintains the monthly ovulation which automatically treats the PCOs

For other remedies or more information, you can visit our PCOS page in disease section. Please let us know the results after 1 month.

Can I use insulin leaves to reduce my weight? I am non diabetic .
 
Sohmit Dutt
15 Dec 2015
Neha dear.

I do not know why do you want to use this herb to reduce weight. There are a number of things you can do to reduce herbs. Insullin Plant ? I don't think so, it has got anything to do with over weight.
For reducing weight, drink green tea daily, early morning.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily. Eating 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight.

Have you heard of a fruit called Avocado. This is a great fruit, which helps in reducing weight. It will suppress your hunger, reduces the urge to eat and will help to shed off extra calories, that too without any side effect. Take care of your diet, do not go for dieting at all. Regular exercise is a must to keep your body in shape.

Goodbye.

Dear Navya, You can try some simple home remedies for Skin pigmentation. Take a potato cut it in a slice, put a drop of water on it. Rub it on the affected area. Leave for 15-20 minutes and then rinse. One more thing, you can use is Aloe Vera gel. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel on the affected area. Wash it off after 20 Minutes. One more important thing is to apply sunscreen lotion when ever you go into direct sun light. Sun light worsens the condition, so you have to avoid it as much as you can. With Regards

Currently I am taking pharmaceutical drugs for high sugar level namely sitagliptin phosphate metformin
HCL. every morning, while metformin (without sitagliptin phosphate) every noon and late afternoon.
A friend introduced to me the 'insulin plant" to chew one leaf in the morning and one leaf in the afternoon.
May I know if said herbal plant could be taken with pharma drugs without adverse effects.?
 
Herbpathy Research Team
07 Jan 2016
Dear Josue, Yes, Insulin Plant does give relief from symptoms of Diabetes. But it is an interim relief. To get an aid for a long time, it is suggested that you take Gudmar. It is super effective Herb in curing Diabetes. Be careful, if you take it with other medicines. Since it is known to drastically drop the sugar levels, so you might need to reduce your dosage of pharma drugs. You need to keep a check on your sugar level. Buy Gymnema Sylvestre ( Gudmar) tincture from a homeopathic store. Start by taking 5 drops in a glass of water, once a day. Keep a check on the sugar levels. Observe, if you feel better, dosage of tincture can be increased and dosage of other medication can be decreased. Try this for a month, by adjusting the dosage level. Please check Diabetes in the disease section of this website. For any doubts, write back to us.

Dear R. R. Kamble Asthma is a disease of Respiratory System. It is a recurring disease.
But, do not worry, it can be controlled. Chew 2 Insulin Leaves daily in the morning, do this for 30 days, it will provide relief from Asthmatic attacks. Garlic is a superb Herb in controlling it. The Herb has anti-asthmatic properties, which provide great relief.
Take 3 or 4 Garlic cloves . Put it in hot water. Steep for 10 minutes. Let it cool and then drink. Follow this for 20 days.
Bitter Gourd-- Take out the juice of Bitter Gourd. Add paste of Basil and honey to it. Stir well. It will cure asthmatic attacks. Fig is a fruit very effective in controlling Asthma. Soak some dried figs in water, overnight. Eat them in the morning on an empty stomach. Also, drink the fig water, in which the figs were soaked.

My suggestion to your father is take Gymnema Sylvestre tincture. Take 10 drops before every meal.
Also give him, Land Caltrops tincture. Its botanical name is Tribulus Terrestris. Take 10 drops 3 times in a day. These herbs will take care of his kidneys and blood sugar. In the mean while check his Diabetes daily. And when the level goes down, reduce the doses of other medicines but not the herbal.

Insulin Plant is a curative Herb. If a person is not suffering from Diabetes, then it must be some other disorder that he/she wishes to cure with this Herb.

There are other Herbs which can be taken if the person is not diseased and these Herbs can even be taken for life-- Amla, Punarnava, Shisandra, Gojiberry, Basil, Shatavari, etc.

I am insulin dependent since 2007 and taking insulin injection once a day metformin tablet once a day. Recently I have grown madhunashini plant in my garden and started taking 2 - 3 leaves per day in the morning with beneficial effect. Now I would like to grow this insulin plant in my garden for its medicinal use. From where can I get such medicinal plant?

Dear S. narain For back pain and fatigue, Take Guggul capsules. known as mahayograj guggal. Or take Ashwagandha capsules, one capsule on alternate days. try this for 15 days first. To reduce weight, drink green tea, everyday. Take 2 to 3 cups in a day.
Avocado fruit is a great fruit that burns extra fat. Eat 2 to 3 avocadoes in a week. other herbs are : fennel, onion seed oil with honey can be taken every morning and evening.
Take a teaspoon of kalaunji oil ( onion seed ). Add 2 teaspoon of honey to it. Stir well and eat it. Do it in the evening also, before going to bed.

Dear Joseliet
I don't think so that Insulin Plant has got to do anything with Breast Cyst. Why don't you try Fagonia Tea ( Dhamsa ). You can search this herb and it is one of the best remedy for Breast Cancer. You can try this for 1 month and get your test done.

You should visit the herb Ginkgo Biloba. Because, this is your cure. A super effective herb for you it is. take one capsule ( 60 mg ) everyday for a month. But, before that check the herb and read the "Side effects" section of the herb, if you suffer from any of the symptoms given there, do not take it. Check the Ginkgo Biloba Page first.

Insulin Plant does give relief from symptoms of Diabetes. But it is an interim relief. To get an aid for a long time, it is suggested that you take Gudmar. There is only one herb by the name Insulin Plant
.It is super effective Herb in curing Diabetes. Be careful, if you take it with other medicines. Since it is known to drastically drop the sugar levels, so you might need to reduce your dosage of pharma drugs. You need to keep a check on your sugar level. Buy Gymnema Sylvestre ( Gudmar) tincture from a homeopathic store. Start by taking 5 drops in a glass of water, once a day. Keep a check on the sugar levels. Observe, if you feel better, dosage of tincture can be increased and dosage of other medication can be decreased. Try this for a month, by adjusting the dosage level. Please check Diabetes in the disease section of this website. For any doubts, write back to us. NO, a non diabetic person must not take Gudmar or Insulin Plant.

Insulin Plant is good for diabetic people. But, I do not think it should be taken when you already are taking so much allopathic drugs.
The dosage of the drugs need to be reduced in order to take the plant. Despite of taking these many drugs, your sugar level is not under control.

Then why do you wish to take this plant ? I mean, just like that ?
You can take it, not for more than 15 to 10 days I suppose. This plant is known to damage the kidneys, if taken for long period and if the dosage is exceeded. If you want to take her to boost your metabolismm or immunity, take Indian gooseberry, Punarnava and Basil

take Berberis Vulgaris tincture for 20 days.
Start by taking 3 drops in a glass of water, increase the dosage from 3 to 5 and then 5 to 10.
You need to closely monitor your sugar levels. If you think that the reading is too low , then yu can decrease the intake of your allopathic drug and adjust the amount of homeopathic tincture accordingly. This has shown great results in lowering the sugar levels. Please share your feedback after 20 days.

Hi.

My friend is 60 years and struggling with diabetic neuropathy. He gets pain due to damage on nerve endings.
I can see in the comments that you most often suggest other herbs for treating diabetic conditions.
He is currently taking some homeopathic remedies for a while, but doesn't seem to do much, except being very costly. But who knows, he might get worse if he stop taking it.
I make cannabis butter, and gently massage to relieve his pain.

I just got back from Indonesia and took with me I bag of dried insulin leaves.

What do you think? I really appreciate your knowledge and hope you can suggest something..

Also, is it likely that this condition is not reverseable, and that we should focus on managing instead of curing?

Thanks

Bijaya.
Insulin Plant is very effective to cure Diabetes, if it suits your, then you may continue to take it for a month. For Fatty Liver, it is suggested that you take Half teaspoon of Kutki Powder every day after breakfast with a glass of water.
This herb can be taken for one week.
Do not increase the dosage on your own.
Also, we advise you to start with Milk Thistle capsule, one everyday for a month. Evion is vitamin E capsules, you may continue to take them. And Esomac 400 is primarily used to cure Peptic Ulcers. So, you must avoid foods that are acidic in nature.

If she is already taking medicines for Bp, then it wold not be safe to try herbs, if she wants to, then she would have to reduce the dosage of the allopathic drugs she is taking. For Diabetes, she may continue to take Metformin and can also start taking Jarul herb in warm water. Gudmar is another very effective herb to cure Diabetes.
Please make sure that her readings are monitored regularly.

One of the best natural supplements to help control type 2 diabetes is Costus Pictus (you can read about it on Google). The leaves of the plant have the ability to help control and normalize blood sugar levels. Research has shown that the plant extract also contains the same properties and can be consumed in a powdered form as well. There are numerous growers of the plant in India, however according to my knowledge, the only people that have a certified product with a food licence to sell the powder are a farm based in Tamil Nadu. The contact person is a gentleman by the name of Manu and he can be contacted @9881976661

Herbpathy
22 May 2017
Yes, it can be. But you need to be very cautious while taking it. Keep a regular check on your sugar readings. If you see, the readings are normal, then you can decrease your dosage of allopathic drugs. You will have to adjust the dosage as per the readings. Else, the sugar level may fall beyond the normal. So, that is why we advise everyone to monitor the sugar level, if they take a antidiabetic herb with additional allopathic drugs.

Yes, You may take Insulin Plant decoction for a month. one cup, daily
Keep a check on your sugar levels. Also, I believe you already are taking Metformin tablets to control the sugar levels. Just adjust the dosage of the herb according to the reading. If you feel the sugar level is dropping too fast, then you may skip the medicine or decrease the dosage .

Although Insulin Plant is used to cure Diabetes, but if you take it for a prolonged period, it may pose a threat to Kidneys. For Kidney Disorders, give her Land Caltrops capsules, one daily for a month. Also, try Varuna Capsules.

For Liver, it is suggested that you take Half teaspoon of Kutki Powder every day after breakfast with a glass of water. Insulin Plant is a beneficial herb for Liver, and Kidneys, you may take it. Your husband may also try Galega Officinalis. This is one of the best herbs for curing Diabetes.

My mom has been a type 2 x 25yrs, and had lung cancer her diabetes is very hard to control even with diet, she takes insulin and metformin was wondering if it might help her also.
 
Marilyn

Insulin Plant and Berberis Vulgaris might help her. But, since she is already taking Metformin and Insulin, she needs to keep a note of her sugar readings while taking the herbs and then adjust the dosage accordingly.

No. instead of taking BGR capsules. it is suggested that you take Galega Officinalis mother tincture, 5 drops added to half a glass of water, every day for 15 days. Monitor the sugar readings and then adjust the dosage of the remedy accordingly. It is suggested that you go for a regular walk, and buy an acupressure kit or a device for your feet.

Hi,
All of my family members are having type 2 diabetes, but luckily I'm not having it yet.
But I know I have a risk of having it in the future.
Will it reduce the risk of getting diabetes, if i consume insulin plant leaves without having diabetes or will it weaken the insulin generation in my body and increase the risk of diabetes?
I recently started taking about 10 leaves as a salad once in every day. Is it too much?

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate your service :)

Maui,
Cooling and freezing is not a problem when handling plants. They retain their properties. The problem is heating. If you are extracting its juice and adding it to the icecream, no problem. But if the process includes boiling or heating you will have to research and see at what temperature the properities change.

Well Sara, if this herb is not making much difference to your readings as you are taking medicines along, you can check Gurmar herb known as Gymnema Sylvestre-mother tincture. Take 3 drops in a glass of water. Be careful of your readings. It is known to be very effective for Diabetes. If you taking allopathic medicine, do not stop them without consultation. Reduce the allopathic dosage only after consultation with your Heath care practitioner.

Could you please suggest cure so that atleast insulins can be stopped
 
Herbpathy
29 Jul 2020
Dear Varun
Please try Gurmar herb ( Gymnema Sylvestre )- Take it in Homeopathic tincture form. It is most effective herb for Diabetes and is known to drop the sugar levels drastically.
Take 3-4 drops in a glass of water after meals. Keep a check on your sugar readings. Reduce the dosage if it drops more than required. Also, take Jamun Vinegar, Karela Juice daily. It is also very effective.
If you are already taking medications for diabetes, keep a thorough check on the readings after giving Gymnema Sylvestre. Start by giving 2 drops initially.
Write back for any queries.

Hello, I have LADA which is Diabetes 1.5. It's a rare Autoimmune Diabetes. I currently take insulin daily and with meals. My question is can I take insulin plant or Black Seed Oil and Karela in small doses while reducing my insulin and Metformin so that I can taper off my Medication? My doctor does not believe in Herbal remedies but I do. I figure since I'm on small doses of insulin and have been controlling it with food for the most part, I should be able to slowly transfer to more Herbal remedies. Your thoughts will be much appreciated :)
