Pancreas Tonic - #4149

For the past year, I’ve been dealing with fluctuating blood sugar levels and occasional digestion issues. A friend suggested that I look into Ayurvedic remedies and mentioned something called a pancreas tonic. I’ve never heard of it before, but I’m curious if it could help with my condition. Can you explain what a pancreas tonic is and how it works in Ayurveda? I’ve noticed that my energy levels drop significantly after meals, especially if I eat something heavy or sugary. I’m trying to avoid processed foods, but I feel like I need additional support for my pancreas to function properly. Would a pancreas tonic be the right solution for this? I also wonder if a pancreas tonic is safe to use alongside the medications I’m currently taking for mild insulin resistance. Do these tonics work well with modern medicines, or should they be taken separately? I’ve read that certain herbs like bitter gourd, fenugreek, and amla are beneficial for pancreas health. Are these typically found in a pancreas tonic, or do I need to take them separately? And is a pancreas tonic something I would take daily, or is it meant for short-term use? Another concern I have is about digestion. Sometimes I experience bloating or discomfort after meals, and I’ve read that the pancreas plays a role in producing digestive enzymes. Would a pancreas tonic also help with improving digestion, or is it only for blood sugar management? Lastly, how do I find a good pancreas tonic that’s authentic and effective? There are so many products online claiming to be Ayurvedic, but I don’t know what to look for in terms of ingredients or certifications. Should I consult an Ayurvedic doctor before starting a pancreas tonic, or can I try it on my own? If anyone here has used a pancreas tonic before, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it help with your symptoms, and how long did it take to notice a difference?
