Homeopathic Cure for Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus, or type 2 diabetes, is a chronic condition that involves irregularities in the body's ability to use glucose (sugar). The term cure usually doesn't apply to diabetes, but a homeopathic remedy for type 2 diabetes does exist. With the disorder, your insulin production may be impaired or your body is producing too much glucose. Symptoms can range from blurred vision to fatigue, slow healing, thirst, and in men, erectile dysfunction.

  1. Root Causes

    • Lack of exercise, eating too much sugar, and the over-consumption of carbohydrates can overburden your body and cause unhealthy weight gain. The buildup of fat makes it difficult for the body to use insulin, which leads to type 2 diabetes. With pregnancy, the hormonal changes can create blood sugar imbalances. For instance, the baby can receive too much nourishment and overgrow if blood sugar levels are too high.

    Proper Diet

    • Consuming nutritious and fiber-rich foods is essential to managing type 2 diabetes.
      Reduce saturated oils and fats. Make use of canola oil, olive oil, and other forms of unsaturated oils. Cut down on salt, especially if you suffer from high blood pressure. Eat plenty of foods that are abundant in fiber, such as raw vegetables, whole grains, and fruits (not juices) to help balance blood-sugar levels and curb the appetite. Do not consume too much protein in order to lesson the stress on your kidneys and digestive system. Eat high-quality proteins, such as fish and turkey, and avoid consuming red meat to further improve your body's ability to metabolize sugars. Finally, avoid loading up on carbohydrates; spread out the amount you take daily.

    Homeopathic Cures

    • Choosing the right homeopathic treatment largely depends on your symptoms. A health practitioner might suggest acetic acid or arsenicum album, lacticum acidum or plumbum metallicum, or any of a dozen others. The dosages vary considerably, so consult a homeopathic practitioner as to how much you should take and possible side effects.

      If you're experiencing excessive thirst and producing a lot of pale urine, take six to 30 units of acetic acid. If, on top of those symptoms, you've got a very dry mouth and your urine has a fishy smell to it, take two or three times a higher potency of abroma augusta. If you find that your urination is okay, but you develop carbuncles ( a cluster of boils), then take three to six times a lower potency of insulin. For general treatment of type 2 diabetes, take every eight hours one dose of syzygium, which is a lower potency.

    Depression and Type 2 Diabetes

    • According to the American Diabetes Association website, many people with diabetes tend to be at higher risk for depression. Symptoms of depression may include a loss of interest in every day activities, difficulty concentrating, sleep pattern changes, feeling guilty, and thoughts of suicide. To deal with symptoms of type 2 diabetes, take a low-potency dose of codeinum four to six times a day to help alleviate negative feelings.

      Find an alternative medicine supply store in your area, shop online, or see a qualified health practitioner to establish the appropriate homeopathic treatment for your specific symptoms. Do not consume any alternative medicines without first discussing it with your physician. Some over-the-counter and prescription medications may interact with homeopathic remedies.
