Complementary & Alternative Medicine treatments for Diabetes

Now-a-days Alternative Medicines or Complementary Medicines and gaining popularity, because of its curing power with out any side effects.

Diabetes details: Diabetes means your blood glucose is too high. Diabetes is the inability of the body to ‘produce insulin – type 1 diabetes’ or ‘proper use of insulin – type 2 diabetes.

Allopathic medicine Diabetes: In allopathic treatment, they consider and treat everyone in a similar manner and drugs are used for treatments. These drugs are used to stop or block one particular function of an organ. It is not trying to correct the root cause and only gives temporary relief. Also they use only one force (compared to war utilizes land force only) that is the medication for diabetes.

Alternative medicines Diabetes: treatments they consider human as a whole and each human is treated differently for the same disease. They are not only considering the disease alone, but also its causes – physical and mental (psychological) reasons.

Homeopathic remedies diabetes:

For example homeopathic remedy is concern they find the correct remedy by looking for symptoms of:

  • Main complication
  • Physical symptoms
  • Mental/emotional/psychological symptoms
  • Modalities (when the disease is better and when it is worst)
  • Causation (reason behind the disease – root cause)

Homeopathic remedies for diabetes, different peoples are treated with a different medicine with respect to their individual physical, mental, modalities and causation.

Ayurvedic herbal remedies for diabetes:

It is also called as herbal medicines, herbal therapy, herbal treatment, herbalism and botanical medicines.

The herbal medication is prepared from plants, use medicinal herbs to prevent and treat diseases and ailments or to promote health and healing. Either the dried plant as a whole or a specific part of it (root, leaves, fruit, flowers or seeds) is formulated into suitable preparation. Ayurvedic natural remedies are not only control blood sugar, but at the same time it will take care of kidney, liver, eye and hearts. These are the organs that may be affected by long term of diabetes. Also the carbohydrate metabolism is by liver, kidney, pancreas and small intestine. Thus the herbal medicines correct these organs for proper utilization and elimination of the glucose. That is, it corrects the root cause.

Yoga poses diabetes:

Yoga refers to be the traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. It has the ability to balance body, mind & spirit. This discipline has curative power for many chronic diseases that include diabetes, by activating glandular systems responsible for the illness. In the case of diabetes, yoga poses give mild and gentle massages to the internal organs such as pancreas, liver, intestine, etc. These organs are responsible for the diabetes cause.

Acupressure for diabetes:

Accupressure is also called as acupressure or healing touch. TCM relies on a number of basic principles which have been refined over thousands of years of medical practice. One of the major principles of this medical tradition is the idea that health is governed by the flow of life force, or qi, through the body. Interruptions in this flow can lead to medical complaints, as the body’s balance of energy is disrupted. TCM practitioners also believe that disruptions in the flow of qi affect specific organs, and that all symptoms can be linked with a particular organ.

In the case of diabetes many patients have found that has either cured or decreased the severity of their diabetes.

Reflexology for diabetes:

Reflexology massage or zone therapy is particularly a healing art by applying pressure (using the hand, fingers and especially the thumbs). This massage is specifically done to feet, hands and some times even to the ears. It activates the acupoints which are interrelated to the organs in the body.

That is why reflexology massage is showing positive impact on promoting self-healing capabilities on diabetes.

Complementary Medicine:

All the above alternative medicine treatments are also called as complementary medicine. The name “complementary medicine” developed as the two or more systems began to be used alongside (to “complement”) each other.

So if we use all the above said alternative medicines together (used all the medicines at the same time) there is a amazing result because one complements the other;

  • Homeopathy treats disease by physical, mental, modalities and causation symptoms – human as a whole.
  • Herbal remedies correct the disease by correcting the organ responsible for the disease – this system corrects the function of the organ responsible.
  • Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that gives massage to the internal organ and calms the mind for proper function of the organ.
  • Acupressure is a healing touch which clears the blockage of qi (vital energy) and thus function of the particular organ is normalized.
  • Reflexology is an art of massaging the nerve points connecting with the organ responsible for the disease. If the nerves are stimulated the organ start function normally.

If you use all the above said complementary medicines each works differently, then the chance of cure for the disease is very high.

For example purpose we used to define alternative medicine diabetes, it is not only for diabetes but also for cholesterol, high and low blood pressure, eye problems, etc. I named a few the list is endless.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Natural therapies have been used to treat disease since our earliest beginnings. This is revealed in the first know written records when the healing power of plants was mentioned. When Naturopathy emerged as a distinct science, no one can say. Early Chinese texts dating to 3000 B.C. discuss herbal treatments. Both the Old and New Testaments speak of the use of herbs and water therapy. Hippocrates was known to treat disease with diet, fasting, hydrotherapy, exercise, and herbs. From these historic origins, naturopathic medicine has developed. In the early 1900s, allopathic medicine gained political power and stifled the naturopathic profession. With the free movement of the1960s, awareness in all things “natural” sparked a steady re-emergence of naturopathic physicians.

Recent pharmaceutical tragedies have led the public to question the efficacy and safety of modern medicine. With each new horrific story on the evening news caused by drugs presented as harmless for years, more people are in search of safe healthcare alternatives. People are also becoming more aware that they are to be responsible for their own health and are seeking information on how to stay healthy and prevent illness. This quest often sends the public looking outside the conventional American medical system. As in the past, naturopathic physicians are offering the alternative in honoring the first naturopathic principle of “primum non nocere” or ‘first do no harm’ by using therapies that are safe and effective.

Modern naturopathic physicians’ training encompasses both traditional and modern techniques of diagnosis and treatment. Licensed naturopathic physicians attended a four-year medical school and earn the degree of Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) and The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Admission requirements are similar to that of conventional medical schools. The doctorate program includes all the basic science, diagnostic and clinical medicine courses standard to any other medical training intuitions. In addition, the naturopath is trained in a wide variety of natural therapeutics and nontoxic approaches to therapy with an emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness.

Today, Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Practice principles of naturopathic medicine are based on the premise that it is intrinsic to the nature of humans to heal. Illness is viewed as a disruption of normal physiologic function. It is on this foundation that it recognizes the “vis medicatrix naturae”, or the healing power of nature, and its therapies are built around this. Naturopathic physicians embrace the idea of patient-centered medicine as opposed to disease-centered medicine. The endeavor for naturopathy is to treat the patient not the disease, “tolle totem”, discover and remove the cause of the disease, “tolle causam”, not merely to treat its symptoms or postpone the disease. Modern naturopathic medicine has evolved to be the art and science of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention using natural therapies including botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, natural childbirth, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation, oriental medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling. As a result, many are turning to it as a path to a cure for their health problems.
