Herbs for Diabetes
There are some proven alternatives to glucose-lowering drugs. One hypoglycemic herb, Galega oficianalis,
was integral used to the development of Metformin. They will not replace anti-diabetic drugs. Many of the
herbs were taken in combination with oral drug therapy, resulting in lowered glucose levels.
How to take these herbs
Prescriptions contain multiple herbs in specific proportions; in Chinese therapy each herb balances or enhances another.
Western herbs, such as St. John's Wort, are generally used one at a time just like western drugs.
Because of risk of side effects, I would advise against combining the herbs without professional help and guidance of a physician or two.
