Allopathy medicines are meant to be for emergencies. Allopathy cannot fully cure the disease but it is required for your relief and control. Any of the treatments in science have limitations to the extent they can treat and cure. As every treatment is supplementary or complementary to each other. The message through any of the treatments is that ‘your health is your own responsibility’. Also, diabetes is a lifestyle problem and not a disease.
The most important factors in our lifestyle which affect diabetes are as follows:
- Fasting
- Stress management
- Exercise
Similarly, if chosen naturopathy for diabetes curing is detoxifying the liver by applying mud therapy on that. Using herbs which are available in our surroundings gives a magical effect to the liver. Also, silver charge or copper charge water can be consumed for kidney clearance and detoxification. The Arjuna plant can be used for cardiac patients.
The therapies that can be used in naturopathy are:
Mud therapy: The nature of mud therapy is to absorb the intoxicants from your body and work as a cooling part of your body. When the mud is applied to a particular part of the body it absorbs heat and toxins accordingly providing cooling for the same.
The deep sea mud and black mud are highly recommended for medicinal use. The mud applied to diabetic patients provides cooling in their bodies because they have a lot amount of heat in their bodies. The mud hence absorbs the same and provides relief.
Massage therapy: Massage therapy is used to increase blood circulation and maintain flow in the body. Diabetic patient feels much fatigue for that purpose if the deep tissue massage given to them can maintain their blood flow and increase circulation throughout the body.
Fasting: There are many types of fasting for diabetic patients such as food fasting, liquid fasting, and mono-diet which is one-time fasting according to your patient’s diet, appetite, capacity, sugar level, age bar, present physical condition and mindset.
Gastro-hepatic pack: It is a hydrotherapy treatment method that combines hot and cold treatments. One needs a cold or ice pack and a hot pack.
For therapy one needs to keep the hot pack on the stomach and the cold pack at the back for 30 minutes empty stomach only. This treatment should go on for 1 month for better results. Also, there are certain herbs which are useful for diabetic patients if available in the fresh form:
- Wheatgrass
- Aloe vera
- Amruta plant
- Neem leaves or neem powder
- Jamun leaves
- Bael leaves or bael powder
Such supplementary can be suggested if available fresh to the diabetic patient for the treatment purpose. We need to keep in mind that whatever we are providing is to control their sugar level. Also, these treatments and supplementary meds are parallel treatments. If you are suggesting the same to your family members make sure that they are consuming allopathic medicines they should not be stopped as they may cause side effects.
