Diabetes is also one of the disorder that can be easily cured from Ayurvedic herbs and concepts. Diabetes is a disorder in which blood sugar level is abnormally high because of the less insulin production from pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that facilitates the absorption of blood sugar by cells to meet the energy requirement of blood through its breakdown. There are estimated 73 million cases of diabetes among adult population of India, this makes India second most affected country from diabetes after China.
Five effective Ayurvedic herbs that helps managing the diabetes:
- Triphala: Triphala has been reported for helping effectively with Type 2 Diabetes. Some research says that Triphala helps in lowering the blood sugar level and cholesterol level both. Amalaki and Bibhitiki are considered to have antidiabetic potentials. Terminalia bellirica is rich in gallic acid, a phytochemical that stimulates the production of insulin from pancreas and improves insulin resistance, promoting cells to absorb blood sugar.
- Tulsi: Tulsi is believed to be beneficial for people suffering form type 2 diabetes as it contains antioxidants that produces caryophyllene, eugenol and methyl eugenol which together helps the pancreatic cells to increase sensitivity towards insulin. Tulsi leaves are said to show hypoglycemic properties that lowers the blood sugar level and prevents further complications related to it. Chewing tulsi leaves daily can gradually show significant decrease in blood sugar level.
- Fenugreek seed: Fenugreek seeds commonly called methi in Indian kitchen is bitter tasting seed used as a key ingredient for Indian cuisines. Along with its popularity among cooking ingredient, Fenugreek seed also serves wide range of health benefits. Fenugreek seeds lowers the blood sugar level by slowing down the digestion and carbohydrates absorption. Fenugreek seed are studied to form sticky layers in intestinal lining to prevent the absorption of glucose. Regular consumption of methi seed are said to improve most metabolic symptoms associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Our ancient Ayurvedic texts mentions this herb as madhunashini which is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘destroyer of sugar’. Giloy (Tinospora cardifolia) is a hypoglycemic agent that helps in managing the diabetes effectively. Giloy with its anti-diabetic property promotes the production of insulin from pancreas and facilitates the burning of excess sugar resulting in gradual lowering of blood sugar level. Daily consumption of Giloy juice can work wonders for diabetic patients.
