Diabetes or diabetes mellitus is a disease tormenting many these days. The advent of modern technology and craze for high profile life style is the root of several serious ailments including diabetes. The patient suffering from diabetes has an increased glucose level in blood. Our food intake supplies us with carbohydrates which get converted in to glucose. The hormone insulin secreted by pancreas breaks down the glucose and aids the metabolic process by making the glucose enter in to body cells and energizing the body as a whole.



When the cells of the pancreas become incapable of producing sufficient insulin or when body cells become resistant to insulin, glucose collects in blood and soon the level shoots up resulting in diabetes. There are three major types of diabetes: Type1, Type2 and Gestational diabetes. Type1 diabetes occurs when the amount of insulin produced by pancreas falls short of the body's requirement of insulin. Type2 diabetes occurs when body cells become non-responsive to insulin or do not take in insulin in the amount they should have taken in.



Gestational diabetes is the result of pregnancy. Glucose levels in blood rise during pregnancy in some women. Heredity, obesity, stress, over-intake of carbohydrates, nutritional deficiencies, and any other disease causing damage to pancreas are diabetes-triggering factors. Diabetes needs timely diagnosis and treatment, or else it may cause serious damage to heart, kidney, eyes, liver and nervous system.



Symptoms



1. Frequent urination2. Increased hunger3. Increased thirst4. Fatigue5. Loss of weight6. Blurry vision7. Palpitation8. Constipation9. Yellowish urine with a sweet acidic odor10. Itching around genitals



Herbal treatment for diabetes

1. Onion and garlic have excellent sugar-reducing properties.



2. Bitter melon or balsam pear juice supplies the body with insulin like polypeptide-p and thereby lowers blood sugar.



3. Fenugreek seeds, rich in nicotinic acids and alkaloid trigoneline, prove very effective in treating diabetes.



4. The holy basil is a highly beneficial herb in treating diabetes.



5. Ivy gourd leaf extracts are quite effective in treating retinal disorders due to diabetes.



6. Fully grown curry leaves are an effective cure for congenital diabetes and obesity.

Diabetes mellitus is a medical condition in which the capacity to produce insulin in the body is marginally or significantly reduced. Because of this condition, glucose uptake by the body cells becomes deficient, and blood sugar levels increase. Type 1 diabetic patients produce little or no insulin, and hence need insulin injections to control their blood sugar. Type 2 diabetic patients can control their blood sugar with a combination of diet, weight management, exercise and glucose-lowering medications.



Diabetes mellitus is known in Ayurveda as "Madhumeha". Ayurveda describes the pathology of this disease as resulting from a disturbed "Meda, Kleda and Kapha". It is believed that all the body tissues lose their vitality because of this condition.



Type 1 diabetic patients who are dependent on insulin injections should monitor their blood sugar and continue the injections regularly. Type 2 diabetic patients may be able to control their blood sugar with Ayurvedic medicines and other measures like diet restrictions and weight control.



Traditional Ayurvedic formulations useful in diabetes are: Arogya Vardhini, Vasant Kusumakar Rasa, Chandraprabha Vati, Prameha Gaja Kesari, Lodhrasava, Khadirarishta, Jambvasava, Trivanga Bhasma, and Suvarna Makshik Bhasma. Herbal medicines useful in this condition are: Haridra (Curcuma longa), Nimba (Azadirachta indica), Karela (Momordica charantia), Saptakapi (Casearia esculenta), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), Khadeer (Acacia catechu), Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Patol (Trichosanthe dioica), Vata (Ficus bengalensis), Udumbar (Ficus glomerata), Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Bilwa (Aegle marmelos) , Gudmar (Gymnema sylvestre), Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum), Asana (Pterocarpus marsupium),Shilajit (Purified Bitumen) and Kumbha (Leucas cephalotes).



Most of the herbal medicines mentioned above reduce blood sugar gradually, and stimulate the body to secrete insulin on its own. These medicines also act on the "Meda" and "Kapha" tissues, reduce "Kleda", and restore body vitality. Thus they act on the basic pathology of this disease. Taken for long periods, these medicines may help to reverse the disease process in diabetes, and give long lasting relief, or sometimes, even a permanent cure. Unlike modern medicines, medical emergencies like hypoglycemia (a sudden lowering of blood sugar) are not seen with the use of herbal medicines.



Long-term complications of diabetes include diseases related to the eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart, brain, intestines, sexual organs, skin and feet. Ayurvedic medicines are very effective in preventing or significantly reducing symptoms related to these complications, and are useful in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Ayurvedic medicines used specially for this are: Tapyadi Loha, Kaishor Guggulu, Agni Tundi Rasa, Vish Tinduk Vati, Kanchnaar Guggulu, Trayodashang Guggulu, Ekanga Veer Rasa, Vaat Gajankush Rasa and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis).



Thus, Ayurvedic medicines are useful both for reducing blood sugar and for treating long-term complications. These medicines can be used independently or as additional therapy to modern medicines. Ayurvedic treatment can significantly reduce the morbidity (severity of disease) and mortality (death rate) associated with diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is inadequate metabolism of glucose in the blood because of a reduced production of insulin. This results in excessive glucose in the blood which has an adverse effect on the entire body. Diabetes mellitus results in complications which affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, gums, nerves, skin, extremities, gastrointestinal system and the brain. This article deals with the Ayurvedic treatment of different complications resulting from diabetes.

These medicines need to be given on a long term basis and are very useful in reducing cholesterol, lipids and atherosclerosis.



Diabetes can cause inflammation and damage to the kidneys, resulting in nephropathy and kidney failure in the long run. In order to prevent renal damage and failure, medicines like Gokshuradi-Guggulu, Punarnavadi-Guggulu, Chandraprabha-Vati, Gomutra-Haritaki, Gokshur (Tribulus terrestris), Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia), Saariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Bhrungraj (Eclipta Alba), Shilajit (Purified bitumen), Apamarga (Achyranthus aspera), Deodar (Cedrus deodara) and Patol (Tricosanthe dioica) are used.

Diabetes affects the central nervous system by disturbing the blood supply to the nerves, thereby causing inflammation and damage to the nerves. This can be prevented or treated using medicines like Tapyadi-Loh, Ekang-Veer-Ras, Dashmoolarishta, Vish-Tinduk-Vati, Yashtimadhuk, Kuchla (Strychnos nuxvomica) and Nirgundi (Vitex negundo). This pathology also affects the gastrointestinal system, manifesting as alternating diarrhea and constipation or abdominal distention. Medicines used to treat these symptoms are: Kutaj-Parpati, Panchamrut-Parpati and Suvarna-Parpati.



People with diabetes are more prone to skin diseases and injury to the extremities, specially the feet. This can be prevented using medicines like Arogya-Vardhini, Maha-Manjishthadi-Qadha, Gandhak-Rasayan and Panch-Tikta-Ghrut-Guggulu. Adequate hygiene needs to be maintained and wounds need to be treated properly till they heal completely. Chronic depression is another common problem related to diabetes which can be treated using medicines like Laxmi-Vilas-Ras, Shrung-Bhasma, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Vacha (Acorus calamus). Maintenance of oral hygiene is important and medicines like Bakul (Aconitum ferox), Kattha (Acacia catechu), Lavang (Carophyllus aromaticus), Supari (Areca catechu) and Elaichi (Elettaria cardamomum) are used to keep the gums clean and reduce inflammation and infection.



Needless to say, all the above mentioned medicines can have maximum therapeutic effect only if there is an adequate control of diabetes mellitus. Medicines like Haridra, Amalaki, Mamejva (Enicostemma littorale), Gudmar (Gymnema Sylvester) and Vijaysaar (Pterocarpus marsupium) can be used for this purpose.

Diabetes is more common among obese people and the elderly. This chronic metabolic disorder prevents your body to use glucose partially or completely. More often than not, is characterized by a high concentration of glucose in the blood.

Natural herbs have been used over the ages to manage blood-sugar levels in humans, without using insulin. Only recently has cat and dog diabetes become a problem due to lack of exercise combined with improper food habits. Here is my list of four healing herbs you can use to help your furry diabetic friend.



Cat and dog diabetes are common in North American pets, with the majority of pet owners turning to natural treatments for pets with diabetes. Using natural diabetic treatments for cat and dog diabetes allows owners of pets with diabetes to naturally lower blood glucose levels, reverse insulin resistance, stimulate natural insulin production and avoid painful injections - all with no side effects of any consequence.



The successful treatment of dog diabetes lies in four primary herbs whose beneficial actions have stood the test of time: Turmeric root, Gymnema sylvestre, Bitter Melon, and Fenugreek seeds. Steeped into a tea or as a natural herbal extract, each herb has its own properties to treat cat or dog diabetes and keep the animal in good health while balancing blood-sugar.



A major herb used for treating dog diabetes, turmeric root, is part of the ginger spice family. The herb has a slightly bitter flavor but also a hot peppery flavor with a mustard smell. It is also known as Indian Saffron or Curcuma longa and is native to tropical South Asia.



Turmeric Root plays a major role in combating insulin resistance, inflammation and a reduction in body weight. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, used in India for thousands of years. Turmeric has been used as a general pain reliever, to aid digestion, an antibiotic, a natural antiseptic, and for many years has been known for its anti-inflammatory properties. There are numerous health problems that respond well to turmeric besides dog diabetes. These include



Alzheimer's Disease
Arthritis
Colon cancer
Cystic fibrosis
Inflammation-related obesity
Insulin resistance
Liver problems
Melanoma
Pancreatic cancer
Rheumatism
Type 2 diabetes



Gymnema sylvestre is part of Ayurvedic herbal medicine, nicknamed the "destroyer of sugar." Chewing on its leaves reduces the taste of sugar in foods that enter the mouth. It originated from the tropical forests of central and western India, Australia and tropical Africa, and has been used as a natural diabetic treatment for close to two millennia. Only recently has Gymnema sylvestre entered the United States and Europe. Clinical studies show that Gymnema is an effective dog diabetes treatment, reducing blood sugar levels in dogs over time.



Bitter Melon
In 2008, a study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica gathered four compounds from fresh bitter melon that was found to activate the enzyme AMPK. This is important because the enzyme AMPK is a protein that regulates fuel metabolism and enables glucose uptake to treat both human and dog diabetes with no known side effects.



"We can now understand at a molecular level why bitter melon works as a treatment for diabetes," said Professor David James, Director of the Diabetes and Obesity Program at Garvan. "By isolating the compounds we believe to be therapeutic, we can investigate how they work together in our cells." Without technology and advances in science, analyzing something as simple as bitter melon and how its compounds work on dog diabetes could never be done.



Bitter melon, also called bitter gourd, is grown in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. It has been a traditional remedy for diabetes mellitus in the Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, lowing blood sugar in type 1 and type 2 diabetes (in its extract form). In addition to dog diabetes, bitter melon is also used for



Anticancer
Antiviral
Cardio-protective
Constipation
Gastrointestinal disease
Immunomodulation
Digestive aid



Fenugreek seeds are used as an herb and a food spice. It is primarily grown in India, with many people eating them like sunflower seeds. More commonly, Fenugreek seeds are used in the famous Curry dish or to taste as salt and pepper.



Used for dog diabetes and in people, in proper doses fenugreek seeds will reduce active hyperglycemia. The compound's powers are in its seeds. Some diabetics report good results soaking the Fenugreek seeds overnight to make a couple cups of morning and evening tea, achieving a drop of 20 to 30 BS points.



Fenugreek seeds, Turmeric root, Gymnema sylvestre and Bitter Melon make up the legendary formula for Primalix Blood-Sugar Balance, an herbal extract trusted by pet lovers everywhere for cat and dog diabetes.

If your dog's blood has too much cortisol in it, it's called canine Cushings disease. While having cortisol in your dog's blood is normal, the adrenal glands will produce cortisol when it becomes stressed, and having too much produced all the time is a health risk for your beloved pet.



While there are multiple symptoms that can occur with your dog having Cushings disease, the most commonly known symptoms is unusual fur loss. Some of the other symptoms include lethargy, excessive urination, and over drinking.



The main cause of Cushings in dogs is from tumors growing on the adrenal glands. These tumors will force the adrenal glands to overproduce too much cortisol for its system to handle. Your dog can be treated with surgery or medications for this, but these usually leave unwanted after affects and can actually cause a slew of other problems as well.



For some people, they want their dog's quality of life to be higher than it would be if it was to go through surgery or taking medications on a daily basis. Because of this, these pet owners choose to go an all-natural route with herbal treatments. When it comes to herbal treatments for Cushings, the herbs are given in combinations to help treat all the symptoms and not just one.



For example, you might give your dog an herb that helps with liver function as Cushings can cause liver issues as well. This will also help boost your dog's immune system to help fight off the cortisol attack as well.



Although you should consult with your vet about your dog's particular case of Cushings, you can complement its treatment with things such as burdock, licorice, and wild rose. You can also give it Dandelion, scleranthus, and Borage to help with its persistent cortisol affliction. Make sure that your dog doesn't have an adverse reaction by giving it small amounts to start out with.

If your dog has hypercortisolism, or hyperadrenocorticism, it may sound scary. So, you should learn all you can about it, in order to understand it better. For a start, you should know that it's commonly called Cushings Disease and that Cushings Disease in dogs can present itself in lots of different ways.



On a physical level, Cushings Disease could cause your dog to urinate frequently or seem extremely thirsty, for example. He or she might also pant more than a normal dog would and could even lose patches of fur for no apparent reason.



Cushings can also affect your pet's mood. Since they don't feel well they could become very lethargic and low-energy. They might not seem to care at all that you are even there, when they used to jump at the chance to do things with you.



What is Cushings Disease Exactly?



Well, Cushings Disease in dogs is a disease that affects the dog's adrenal glands. It's an endocrine disease, which affects the levels of cortisol and cortisone that your dog's body produces. Cortisol and cortisone are steroids that your dog's body produces naturally but, when over-produced, they can lead to some major health problems for your pet.



Tumors in the pituitary gland or adrenal glands are the main causes of Cushings Disease in dogs. Modern medical intervention can also cause it, though. For example, if your dog has a different health condition and is taking prednisone, it can cause them to develop Cushings, as can other medications.



Treatment of Cushings:



Since your dog's liver is very susceptible to damage from over production of cortisol and cortisone, untreated Cushings Disease really puts their liver at risk for disease and, possibly, total shut down. Cushings can affect your dog in other ways, too, though. For example, it can cause heart trouble for your pet, as well as an increased risk of diabetes.



Luckily, there are treatments for Cushings Disease in dogs. Before you consider traditional medication as a treatment, though, remember that many of them have harsh side-effects. In fact, your dog's Cushings might have been caused by medication that he or she was taking in the first place, as mentioned earlier.



Instead, you might want to consider some natural alternatives. First, you should talk to your vet about changing your dog's diet. A lot of processed foods are not good for your pet. So, you may need to take a natural approach to feeding, as well as Cushings treatment. You could also discuss herbal remedies and supplements. There are lots of supplements and herbs that are designed to support a dog's adrenal glands.



When it comes to herbal treatments, you have a lot of options. Some, such as hepar or arsenicum, are designed to treat certain symptoms of your dog's cusings. Some, though, are designed for more of an over all effect. burdock, dandelion and astragalus are among some ofthe most common homeopathic options for treating Cushings Disease in dogs, but be sure to talk to your dog's vet about the best treatment for your furry friend's individual case.

Diabetes in canines is pretty much the same as with human diabetes-it is inconvenient and potentially crippling. While most diabetes mellitus cases are caused by inherited abnormalities in the dog's system-there are ways wherein you can manage the dog's condition well. When you do, you are bestowing on him the great gift of a normal and happy life despite the disease.



The main proponents of an effective dog diabetes treatment are: regular insulin therapy, monitored exercise and maintaining a healthy diet. Insulin injections are needed because the very nature of this disease is the deficiency of insulin production in the body. Find out the proper way of handling and storing these medications if you're planning to do it yourself. Exercise aids in the better absorption of insulin-thus improving the blood sugar levels of the canine.



A healthy diet ensures that the animal receives all the nutrients it can get to boost his immune system-equipping the canine to keep infections and other diseases that can aggravate his condition at bay. An overweight dog is more prone to diabetes so careful monitoring of substances and calories is vital to the canine's health.



Because diabetes is so prevalent in the dog communities, studies are constantly being made to improve the way we deal with this ailment. An effective canine diabetes herbal treatment can actually be available for the responsible pet owner that will further improve the diabetic canine's chances of having a better quality of life.



What are some of the natural ingredients that are helpful to this particular disease? Chromium successfully balances cholesterol and blood sugar levels in the body. Karela is renowned for helping stimulate insulin production-an ability shared by the herbs Gurmar and Bilberry. Bilberry is also attributed to improving circulatory systems-an important factor in diabetes maintenance.



Bejak is a common ingredient found in natural diabetes supplements. It reduces glucose in the blood and aids various urinary problems. A healthy urinating habit as well as a strong bladder is valuable to the diabetic animal. Cinnamon is found to be an excellent substitute for insulin.
