is triphala good for diabetes - #25452
I am struggling with my blood sugar levels lately and honestly, I’m kinda worried. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and manage my diabetes, but it feels like a constant battle. A friend mentioned that is triphala good for diabetes and that it might help. But I’m not really sure. I read a bit about triphala and its benefits, but there’s just so much info out there! Like, some say it’s great for digestion and detox, while others talk about its effects on blood sugar. I started taking it a week ago, mixed it in water every morning, but I don’t notice any changes yet. Maybe I need more time? Should I be worried? I also try to do some exercise but some days it’s a struggle. Can anyone here share their experience with triphala? Is triphala good for diabetes, or am I wasting my time? Don’t want to rely only on supplements, but if there’s any hope, I’d love to hear it!

can we take ayurvedic and allopathic medicine together - #23954
I am really confused about something and hope anyone can help. Last week, I visited a doctor because I was feeling really tired and just off. After some tests, they diagnosed me with early-stage diabetes. Now, they're suggesting I start on allopathic meds, which freaks me out a little, you know? But I've been exploring Ayurvedic remedies for a while, like they always made me feel calmer, and I honestly believe in their benefits. So here I am, wondering, can we take ayurvedic and allopathic medicine together? Like, can I start the allopathic meds while still using my favorite Ayurvedic herbs? I've heard mixed things from friends. Some say it’s super important to avoid mixing them, but then a few have told me that many people combine both and manage just fine. Is that true? Do you see patients doing this with success? Any advice on how to make this work if it’s possible? I'm kinda worried about side effects or them cancelling each other out or something!
