Most diabetics are using standard American medicine to control diabetes, which gives only temporary relief. Instead, we have to change our lifestyles by eating quality foods, doing exercise and avoiding junk foods. Incorporating this remedy can reduce and alleviate diabetes.

It’s important to note that even those without diabetes but struggle with headaches/migraines, chronic fatigue, nausea, blood sugar fluctuations, weight loss resistance, heart palpitations, insomnia or digestive issues, may have what is called “insulin sensitivity”. This condition is tied to the delicate cell membrane and responsible for the harmony of our entire endocrine system health.

Therefore, this remedy is beneficial for all health conditions, as it not only reverses diabetes, but also helps lower bad cholesterol, reduces chronic inflammation, increases energy, balances hormones and more. It is always recommended to combine this remedy with a healthcare practitioner who can look at and support the body as a whole.

Diabetes is caused when the organ responsible for the production of insulin starts to create lower amounts of insulin than what is required by the body. These diseases need to be managed properly in order to live a better and healthy life. There are many ways by which the levels of insulin in the body can be increased and managed, but one recent finding involves the natural healing properties of hibiscus.

Scientists from Assam’s Tezpur University and West Bengal’s Visva-Bharati University have unlocked the potential of natural chemicals derived from a particular species of hibiscus that can help generate a better therapeutic agent for diabetes.

According to International Diabetes Federation, diabetes affects more than 62 million Indians. Moreover, the World Health Organization claims that it will be the seventh leading cause of death by 2030. Dubbed as a silent killer by experts worldwide, diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes), or simply diabetes, is one of the four major non-communicable diseases in India, the other three being cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Researchers found that a phytochemical (plant-derived compound) from the leaves of Sthalpadma or land-lotus (scientifically known as Hibiscus mutabilis and commonly called Confederate rose) restored insulin sensitivity of cells and thereby helped in lowering blood sugar levels in diabetic rats.

Hibiscus is a flowering plant found across India and is known for its cottony color-changing blossoms and medicinal properties. In Ayurveda, the leaves and flowers of the shrubby Hibiscus mutabilis are used to treat swellings, skin infections, hair loss and hair greying.

“We found that ferulic acid (FRL), belonging to the polyphenols, extracted from leaves of the plant, has the potential to be a better therapeutic agent for diabetes,” says Samir Bhattacharya, Emeritus Professor, School of Life Sciences (Zoology Department) at Visva-Bharati in Shanti Niketan.

The findings were published in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, which states that FRL helped in the improvement of glucose (sugar) levels in diabetic rats within 15 days when administered orally.

Try this home remedy for diabetes: Mix about 12 ounces of purified water with 1 tablespoon of Hibiscus Leaf Powder. Place the bowl aside overnight, and in the morning, drink the water on an empty stomach. Do not eat or drink anything else for two hours. Drink the same mixture again at night, then repeat twice a day for eight days straight.

In order for the remedy to work, here are some important tips: Do not miss a single day or dose. Strictly follow it for 10 days continuously to see the best results. If a dose is missed due to any reason, do not use this remedy again for 60 days. Remember, this only works if the schedule is strictly followed.
