7 Medicinal Infusions to Treat Diabetes Naturally

Diabetes is a disorder that must be controlled as soon as possible to prevent serious health consequences. In addition to proper medical treatment, certain plants can help treat diabetes naturally — no harmful side effects.

Read on to learn about the 7 best medicinal infusions to treat diabetes naturally. Among them, you’ll find stevia, cinnamon, and avocado leaves. You can alternate between them or combine them to take advantage of all they have to offer.

The risks of high blood sugar

High blood sugar levels not only lead to diabetes but are also related to disorders like obesity and the very serious and widespread condition of insulin resistance.

These disorders are damaging our health and making us vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases. In addition to drinking these infusions below, you’ll also have to watch what you eat.

• Avoid sugars, refined flours and fruit that cause glucose spikes.
• It’s best to have a good nutritionist guides you in your diet.

Infusions for diabetes

1. Stevia

First of all we have stevia: a medicinal plant from Paraguay, well-known for its ability to help with diabetes. Since it tastes so sweet, we can use it as a replacement for sugar in all kinds of sweets, desserts and drinks. Then if we eat it regularly, whether alone or combined with other remedies, we should see the following benefits:

• Improved teeth and gum health.
• A more alkaline body.
• Better digestion.
• Less fluid retention.
• Lower blood pressure.
• Fewer negative effects of free radicals that cause aging.
• Stronger immune system.

2. Cinnamon

Next we have cinnamon, a spice that is remarkably good for your health. However, note that we want the Ceylon variety, which is the one with the most medicinal power. You can use it to flavor all kinds of dishes, whether sweet (cookies, cakes, smoothies) or salty (stews, roasts). Cinnamon has many other benefits as well:

• Improves digestion and reduces flatulence.
• It is a natural antibiotic.
• Reduces bad breath
• It has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Improves respiratory issues.
• It is an aphrodisiac.

3. Wormwood

Wormwood, or absinthe, is a very bitter medicinal plant. However, it’s popular for its detoxifying power and ability to improve liver function. In fact, in ancient times, a person would drink wormwood when they had lead poisoning.

Wormwood infusion is an excellent way to treat diabetes naturally, since it causes a rapid reduction in blood sugar. Additionally, it can also be an option when you’ve gone overboard with the sugar.

Please note that we recommend consuming it in small quantities and not using it for long periods of time.

4. Avocado leaf

Not only is avocado a superfood but its leaves also harbor all kinds of medicinal properties. Besides being an excellent remedy for diabetes, it also helps with other disorders:

• Hypertension
• Cough
• Menstrual cramps
• Heartburn
• Intestinal parasites
• Kidney stones

5. Artichokes

Both the artichoke and its leaf are two excellent remedies to stabilize blood sugar levels because they contain inulin, a type of fiber that aids in the transformation of sugar into energy. You can drink an infusion made from the leaf, or broth made from the artichoke meat.

6. Green tea

Green tea is an ancient drink with so many medicinal properties that everyone should drink it every day.

• Thanks to its polyphenols, green tea helps metabolize sugar and supports good pancreas function.
• However, to enjoy this property, you’ll have to drink it separately from meals, at least one hour after eating.

7. Oat water

Finally, we have oat water: an infusion made from oats. It’s different, but this healing recipe will help you reduce your blood sugar and cholesterol. In fact, it can even help you lose weight safely.
