Ah, you’ve dived into a fascinating world of Ayurveda for diabetes. It’s a vast field, and you’re right to be curious about herbs like Madhunashini, Vijaysar, and Triphala. Lot of potential there to help with managing sugar levels.
Madhunashini, yes, it’s often called the “sugar destroyer”. The name fits because it’s known to regulate blood sugar by boosting insulin production and reducing sugar craving. If you incorporate this, typically it’s taken as a powder or capsule after meals. But consistency is key, it’s not an overnight thing.
Now, Vijaysar, it’s a bit old-school and involves soaking the wood overnight in water and drinking that water in the morning. Kinda quirky but worth trying. It does have a history of supporting glucose metabolism. Maybe try it and see how your body reacts? Listen to your body.
Triphala is a classic, not directly for sugar but good for digestion & metabolism. Take it at night, typically before bed, either as a powder or in capsules. Don’t expect immediate sugar control, but it’ll help with digestion which is vital in Ayurveda.
Chandraprabha Vati, thinking of kidneys, this one’s more for overall health. It might not directly lower sugar, but aids in managing complications, especially if you’re thinking long-term.
Ayurveda doesn’t claim to reverse diabetes, but it can really support in managing it. It’s more about harmonizing the doshas (your body’s energy types) & balancing your lifestyle so that you might reduce medication, not ditch it completely without professional guidance.
If some have reduced dependency on insulin, it’s usually because they’ve fully embraced the Ayurvedic lifestyle – diet, exercise (maybe some yoga), and regular use of these herbs. Patience is your friend here.
Every person’s journey is different. It’s important to have a blend of modern & traditional care. Consult both your doctor and an ayurvedic practitioner who understands your unique prakriti. Keep tracking your sugars though! That’s something not to miss, for safety.
