Aswagandha(where stress is suspected for increased Blood sugars)

18 Replies

AG looks like a wonder atleast for me. I had AG lehya ., i think from keralas.(brand do not want to mention).Its keeping f.,b.s under check really well. ofcource with metformin. yesterday night i had ppbs (ordinary dinner NOT LCHF peas pulav and curd chutney ) 215 @22:20hrs(with MF). just for fun i took 1 spoon tea spoon fiul of AG and @22:45hrs ppbs came down to 187.

today morning i did not check f.b.s. as i thought i much too much testing. after 2 cups of tea green with sugar., i took again AG. and then had 3 more cups of coffe with jaggery. (3 cups in 1and half hours)

After 10 mins. i again measured b.s. It stands @ 157. Really i never anticipatedf this much drastic effect.

coupled with LCHF i am sure AG WILL be a rock in stabilising BSs.

I just wanted to bring this to the notice of fellow diabetics. i think lehya works better than tabs

Thanks to kcpl for reminding me of this wonderful herb.

What du mean by AG Lehya? generally AG is recommended for Joints pan/Arthtritis.

I dont know much about other recommendations. other day kcpl adviced me AG so that sugar rise due to stress cn be controlled. so i used AG in lehya form. i.e it was not caps,tabs or powder. it was gel foirm. may be it is lehya.like chyawan prash lehya.

Sir., i think any aswagandha will do the same. i just feel that lehya form may be better than tabs or caps. the reason is arishta/lehya forms slightly ferment over a period of time forming natural alcohols. lehya may be less forming. the other nearest equivalent may be AG churna or powder.

regards.

Does sharing of brand availability information amount to promotion if it is in response to query by a member?

in reply to norreal

@ norreal., i bought the lehya when ma amrutandamayi came to hyd. as the labels were not readable now., i didnot want to tell., however i can tell that meds are from ma amrutandamayi stalls at hyd., when she came around 2009 or so. i lost count of hte year and the med. was just lying around. thatswhy i was hesistant. even price marking wasnt there. thats why i was hesistant.

yesterday evening., i took mentat of himalayas (which cinsists 52mg of AG along with other ingredients in it.,) and i found b.s. really good and stable at 121.

so it validates any AG of any firm will work. thats all i wanted to convey.

what remains to be seen is how long the meds will work., as i am afraid without changing the diet pattern and / or losing the weight .,the releif may be temperorary.

Please verify side effects of prolonged use of Aswagandha on the Net. Consult an Ayurvedic before you take it for long periods.

Most diabetics undergo some degree of stress, Aswagandha relieves stress.

Sir,

Warm Greetings ! This is Dr.S.R.Parakh . I have worked on Ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera ) for my research work during M.Pharma. research at University Department of Chemical Technology ( Presently known as Institute of Chemical Technology ) , Matunga , Mumbai from 1976 to 1979 .

Ashwagandha really works wonders. It needs further research findings . Presently there are so many herbal preparations in the market which contain Ashwagandha or it's extracts !

Thanks a lot for the advanced information!

Warm Regards,

Dr.S.R.PARAKH, Pune.
