home remedy for reducing sugar

hsparekh profile image

have sugar checked. keep overnight in a glass of water one ladies finger (bhindi) (cut at both the ends and sliced through the length) and drink it next morning. No other intake for next 30 minutes. Do it for a month or so and have the sugar checked again. You should observe good change (reduction) in your sugar level. This is a proven home remedy.

my recommendation : Any home remedies can be tried but never ever stop medicines. Guess most of the remedies could be a case of faith, coincidence and effect which is unique to each individual.. Very often, when u take any new step, you become conscious and start regulating - which will have a complementary effect.

I'm not ready to experiment with my body on these so called medicines. These are pure humbug. I believe in English medicines only.

Dear Mr. Vishwanathji:

I am glad you have been using this bhindi remedy for keeping your sugar level under checks. Pl do let me learn as to how long you have been using it, be it on and off. Are you aware of others who may be using it too!

hsp

I had tried it. It is not possible to drink the fermented bhindi . It is like glue and it tastes so badly that one can not take it. Atleast I had puicked? It is impossible to try this home remedy.

hi, can u pls tell me we have to drink only that water. or we have to eat that also?

The Allopathic medicines are the only reliable for treatment. Continuous research is conducted in Allopathy and new and new medicines are introduced. Continuous research and constant up gradation is done. Even though Ayurveda was there in India for thousands of years it couldn't control or cure any disease.Ayurveda couldn't cure such minor diseases as small pox, diarrhoea and hepatatis,Hundreds of patients used to die every year for want of medicine. It's only after the arrival of Allopathic medicines that diseases could be controlled.

Home medicines are some times effective, but after a variable time it becomes in effective.Also there is no calibration of doses.results are unpredictable.Strict monitoring of blood sugar is required.

The normal medicines should I think continue alongwith home remedy.In case sugar really falls,doses can be reduced.

1)It is true that alopathy is based on scientific research&stands the test (SCRUTINY)of repeatability.But the very word Alopathy implies "The other diseases",which means you can expect Side Effects.But in acute cases when survival is of utmost importance, & WHERE SURGICAL INTERVENTION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY(acute appendicitis,injuries arising out of accidents,etc)there is no escape from alopathy.It is true that since about 70's,Most of the Doctors are hand in glove with the mere Profit oriented Pharma Industry,peddling Superfolous drugs & lowering the threshold limit of most of the pathological parameters,which create huge new market for many proprietiory drugs.If a remedy is available in any other system of Medicine,the alopathy pharma industry snatches the opportunity,somehow gets hold of the know how,(piliagirism?) refines the same,gets the Medical profession to endorse same after so called Clinical trials & release the Exhorbitantly priced "NEW" drug to the Market reaping windfall profits

2) Ayurveda was the only system known to Mankind say about 2000 years back.India was the centre of excellence, & even Greek patients,who could afford the cost of travel (Land route)landed at the door step of the Great Sushruta in Kashi waiting for their turn,for months on End.But sadly we lost the knowledge may be about 800 to 900 years back.The written texts etc available in ancient University libraries were burnt down by the senseless Muslim Invaders,thus depriving the Mankind the fine knowledge.The few Highly kowledgeble Doctors either out of selfishness or fear of the knowledge being diluted,misunderstood & exploited by the average students they got,never passed on the kowledge.as a result today we have ayurvedic Doctors who have M.D. Degrees,do not know for example the Naadi jnana.(Pulse reading)in totality.The correct procedure of purification(Puta-that takes about 48 days in many cases of BHASMA Preparations to remove the toxic elements is not known or not adhered to by Ayurvedic medicine

manufacturers,because of commercial considerations.Yet for many chronic diseases the prevalent residual knowledge as practised by the very few competent Ayurvedic doctors remaining,Ayurvedic treatment is best,particularly for diseases of the gastro Intestinal tract(digestive system-Particularly LIVER).But avoid taking Commercially prepared Metal Bhasmas,if prescribed.Once Ayurveda thrived on Surgery & Sushruta is known to have performed complicated brain surgeries.Administration of Anaesthesia was done by competent Anaesthetists.But today the Ayurvedic Doctors Shun Surgery even in cases where it is absolutely necessary,claiming they have medical remedy for all ailments(without resorting to surgery) & mislead Gullible Public.

Many fly by night operators peddle so called Ayurvedic Medicines,extracting exhorbitant price.Unfortunately there is no sstatutory Regulator to take note of Bogus claims made in news paper advertisements & punish the guilty

3)Homeopathy (whose basic postulation is believed to be of Atharvana Veda Origin)is good for Chronic diseases requiring constituitional remedies.

4)In Modern era,it is necessary for the common man to be careful.One should be knowledgeble to choose the appropriate system of medicine.

I am interested to learn if there is an organization who may take up the representation to authorities for creating systematic and patient friendly modalities for practicing Vaidyas, Hakims and homeopaths so that they would be more answerable and responsible to patients. Would any of consumer societies be interested to take up this challenging assignment? What may Amir Khan (Satyamev Jayate) have to comment on this aspect of mobilizing the authorities for public interest? How to GO ABOUT???

Dear

I have been using it for past one week, it is odorless , gives a feeling of well being and satiety. Understand it is rich in fibre and other substances good for the body.I am sure it will reduce my sugar levels, I will check my BG only after 15 days . Medicines may be reduced/ discontinued on doctor's advice

I am on LCHF diet.

Absolutely right. Without stopping regular medicines one may take chance. There is NO harm in trying it, He should have given Blood sugar figures, How much they had changed.

I will give it a try and will get my fastening sugar level checked after a week which are in 175-200 range for last 6 months checked fortnightly intervals. If it slips below that I will agree to the benifits otherwise skip it. Any medicine/remedy taken empty stomach means it has to go in to blood stream to cure and other diabetic medicines taken with meals means slowing/ lowering the process of sugar entering the blood stream.

Friends trying this remedy since last week and I feel it is still premature to come to a conclusion. My random glucometer reading used to vary anywhere between 135 to 230. I regularly monitor my sugar level once daily. Lately, have seen a decrease in my sugar level. But will surely let you all know after two more weeks.

Note: I was not meshing the bhindi in the water and simply consuming the water in which the bhindi was soaked over night. I still am continuing with a tab of Glaynase MF post breakfast. Followed by the mandatory multivitamin.

Dear Mr Sundeep,

Did you try yourself ? After how many days you got any results? How long since you were diagnosed being Diabetic? Please let me know. will be thankful.

sundeepd profile image
sundeepd in reply tolohit

Dear brother,

i am not a diabetic but i have gone through the literature of the aloevera called barbadensis miller this particular type has maximum medicinal properties in it within two to three month there might be a situation where Dr. might ask you to reduce the medicine dose and after some time he may ask you to stop the medicine.

this will happen as because aloevera has many properties in it which stimulates the pancreas to increase the insulin with this it will rejuvenate the whole body system with increased immunity.

The interest and participation to this subject is really encouraging. There is no need to debate whether Ayurvedic/home remedies or Allopathy is better. We have seen tons of such stuff on the web anyways and is known. Each person has his/her right to choice and can do as they wish. The information given is for approaching the issue from another angle. If it does any good, it is good, otherwise no harm in imbibing Okhra in any form. After all it is a vegetable many people are consuming as part of their food. Even a small ray of light is valuable for a person suffering from Diabetes.

Chaudhariji: Thanks for the response. I am no doctor nor expert on the ailment.

Pl do check with your doctor for satisfactory and dependable suggestions.

I believe these home remedies need to be considered as supplementing measures to achieve a bit faster results for keeping sugar levels under checks. They may help reduce prescription medicine dosage also.

2-3 lady fingers is fine. Someone is taking even 5! Keep monitoring your sugar levels. This is a must.

Not only diabetics, but also every other non-diabetic normal persons are also dieing

Diabetic Mellitus is a genetic disease for which there's no permanent cure. It's defect or insufficiency of insulin produced in your body. There're two types of diabetes. One is called Type 1. Pancreas of diabetes one people don't produce insulin. They require insulin for the body to function. The other type 2 diabetes which normally effects people who are overweight and above 40 years. Sugar level can be controlled in them using oral tablets also whereas type 2 diabetes require insulin injections. So death from diabetes can't be stopped.
