Natural treatment for diabetes
There are several natural treatments that diabetics have been using to keep their diabetes under control for decades. If you opt to try a natural treatment, it is very important to make sure your primary physician is aware of your decision. Natural treatments should not simply be plucked off the internet; you do not want to surf the web and find an herbal concoction to try to treat your diabetes.

If a diabetic is going to try natural treatments then he/she needs to work with a professional in the field of natural health or alternative medicine. I cannot stress enough that “going it alone” on your quest for natural treatments for diabetes is dangerous.
Natural Treatment for Diabetes
- Acupuncture
- There are approximately twenty acupoints in the body that are associated with diabetes. During acupuncture treatments, tiny needs are inserted just below the skin in the acupoint areas on the body. A typical session last between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Acupuncture treatment for diabetes is ongoing and does NOT cure the diabetes. What the acupuncture does is relieve or decrease the symptoms of diabetes such as fluctuating blood sugar levels, extreme thirst, poor circulation, and foot ulcers. Acupuncture for diabetes is an ongoing treatment of at least one session per week. The diabetic will still need to take insulin and it is best for the acupuncturist and the diabetic’s doctor to work together on the treatment course.
- Herbal Treatments
- There are several herbs and combinations of herbs that can help control a blood sugar levels. I will not list them here as herbal medicine is a specialty area of natural medicine and working with an herbalist is the only safe way to receive treatment.
- Reflexology
- There are a good amount of case studies to provide enough evidence that reflexology can be beneficial for diabetes. Reflexology is a non-invasive treatment. A reflexologist can use either the hands or feet to gently massage specific areas of the hands or feet called meridian points that represent a specific part of the body. Reflexology treatments can last for 15 minutes to an hour. The treatments are usually done at least once a week or more. Reflexology will not cure diabetes it will however, help with the symptoms and improve blood glucose levels.
It is important to understand that diabetes cannot be cured (as of yet) and these natural treatments for diabetes are to be used along with insulin and any other current medications or treatment therapies your doctor has prescribed.
