According to nature therapy, diabetes is the result of a problem in the
digestive system. This can be overcome easily, and within a short
duration of time, with regular practice of yoga, change in life style,
daily routine and diet control. Generally, people engaged in sedentary
work suffer from this disease. The insulin produced from the pancreas
reduces both in quality and quantity, resulting in a high sugar level,
and the excess glucose flows out through the urine.
Cure for diabetes:
The patient should be given proper rest and should take a controlled
diet. The following should be kept in mind at the time of treating
diabetes. The patient should be stress free. The digestive system should
function normally and the secondary diseases caused due to diabetes
should also be treated and controlled.
Yogic cure for diabetes:
* Practice of Kunjal Kriya, Naouli, and Shankh Prakshalan is
beneficial in this case. (For detailed instructions of these practices
please see seperate articles on these topics.)
* Uddiyan Bandh cures digestion related problems.
* Practice of Kati Chakrasana, Ardhamatysendrasana, Vajrasana,
Bhujangasana, Paschimottasana, Shalabhasana, Dhanurasana, Mandookasana
and Padahastasana are very beneficial for diabetes.
* Bhastrika Pranayama, Ujjayi Pranayama, Nadi Shodhan Pranayama and
Brahmari Pranayama are very beneficial in the case of diabetes.
* The patient should practice all the steps of Surya Namaskar daily.
Diet control for diabetes:
Proper diet control is necessary depending upon the age, work and
condition of the patient.
A person of normal weight who does not do any physical work should take
2000 calories; person involved in medium physical work should take 2500
calories and in case of excessive physical work the calorie intake
should be 3000 calories.
The diabetics with low weight need more calories compared to other
patients.
Overweight people should eat less than 2000 calories to prevent fat.
The best way to fix the calorie intake is to get the urine tested.
Diabetics can eat curd (yogurt) to maintain their physical strength.
Take one to two ounces of bitter gourd juice in the morning to control
diabetes.
Take fat free milk (250-400 ml) or buttermilk or sprouted moong gram
(dahl).

vegetable soup or diluted curd (yogurt).

Home remedies for diabetes:
Grind six-gram fenugreek seeds coarsely and soak in 250 gm water. Crush
it nicely in the morning, sieve it with a cloth, and drink it. Follow
this remedy for two months regularly in order to overcome diabetes
completely. Those who suffer from excess heat due to fenugreek, and
ulcer patients, should take fenugreek with aniseeds. Mix a spoonful of
aniseed and two spoonfuls fenugreek seeds and soak them in a ceramic
bowl in 200 ml water. Sieve with a cloth in the morning.
Chop four leaves of black plum and grind. Sieve the juice in eight grams
water and drink regularly for ten days. Take it every two months for ten
days. This juice is very beneficial in case of sugar passing out through
urine. Chew four leaves of black plum twice daily in the beginning
stages of diabetes to give relief from the third day itself.
Put 60 gm ripe black plums in 300 gm of hot boiling water. Cover the
vessel with lid. Crush them nicely after 30 minutes and divide into
three portions. Take one portion three times during the day to reduce
sugar level.
Dry the black plum seeds in the shade and prepare a powder. Take three
grams twice daily with fresh water to overcome diabetes. Continue this
medicine for 21 days regularly.
