Diabetes Treatment: Get the disease under control with natural remedies

In Germany, more and more people are suffering from diabetes. Many do not know about their illness for a long time. After diagnosis, sufferers are often treated quickly. But in many cases, a healthier lifestyle is enough to get the so-called "diabetes" under control.

More and more people are suffering from diabetes

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of diabetic patients worldwide has been rising massively for years. In Germany, the disease continues to increase. "In addition to the large number of more than 6 million sufferers, there will be about 300,000 more patients annually. Most are suffering from type 2 diabetes, which is still diagnosed many years too late and contributes to the very high "unreported" - which is estimated at up to 2 million, "it says in the" German health report diabetes 2017 ". Not all patients need medical treatment. Often enough natural means to get the disease under control.

Risk factors for diabetes

The main risk factors for type 2 diabetes are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and overweight or obesity.

However, these factors do not play a role in type 1 diabetes. Rather, it is due to misdirected immune system reactions that destroy the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.

According to experts, this results in an absolute insulin deficiency and the body can no longer metabolize the blood sugar. In type 1 insulin syringes are the standard therapy.

Overweight and regular exercise

Type 2 usually recommends a healthy lifestyle first. Often already losing weight can normalize insulin levels again.

Regular exercise also helps to lower high blood sugar. Sports such as jogging, Nordic walking, cycling or walking or dancing are also available.

In addition, scientific studies have provided evidence that certain foods can have a positive effect. A study showed that broccoli lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetics.

Positive experiences with medicinal plants

The 57-year-old Marika Ruft from Gusow in Brandenburg swears by wormwood, dandelion and yarrow. "These plants promote digestion. The bitter substances in it take the appetite for sweets, "said the baker in a message from the news agency dpa.

The diabetic has been dealing with medicinal plants since becoming aware of her illness and can now also get something out of stinging nettles.

"They are great for draining the body. As a tea in combination with peppermint and apple pieces you can enjoy it, "said the woman from the district Märkisch-Oderland.

The Brandenburgerin wanted after the diabetes diagnosis according to own data not only medications swallow, but something for themselves and their body do.

Together with her husband and the association "Über Land" she set up a show garden for medicinal plants in a community garden.

There "information panels on the use of the individual plants pointed, in the garden these plants are then available to take away," it says in a message.

Use centuries-old experiences from nature

A great role model for this "diabetes garden" is the journalist Hans Lauber from Cologne, who initiated the first diabetes gardens after his own illness, in order to show how "sugar can be tamed naturally", explained the marketing expert, who also has several books on opportunities and risks the natural pharmacy has published for supportive diabetes treatment.

"These gardens are an important means of education and prevention. Those affected are given clues as to what kind of diet they can use to fight their type 2 diabetes, their desire for the healing power of nature is aroused, "according to Lauber dpa.

The head of the public health service Märkisch-Oderland, Steffen Hampel, also believes that using centuries-old experiences from nature is fundamentally a good approach. But just because something is green does not necessarily mean it's healthy.

"What works there are also chemical substances - and they have side effects that are often not talked about," warned Hampel in the agency report. He points to possible liver damage, phototoxicity or allergies.

He also knows: What really helps in the chronic metabolic disease diabetes, is a change in lifestyle towards exercise and a healthy diet. (Ad)
