Natural Diabetes Herbs

When there's a natural remedy for most illnesses today, can
diabetes be far behind? Here's some good news for diabetic
patients who would like to consider a natural alternative.
Amazon Botanicals has a 100% natural product, which it
calls "Sugar Control" that is helpful in controlling blood
sugar levels.  "Sugar control" is made from two wonder
natural diabetes herbs from Peru - Yacon and Pata de vaca.
 Yacon is a perennial plant that is grown under warm and
humid conditions in Peru under altitudes of 9,300 feet. The
tuberous roots of Yacon are crisp and sweet and resemble a
bit of both an apple and a watermelon. Yacon is a natural
diabetes herb for diabetes and liver problems. Yacon is a
low calorie item. The calorie content in a jar of Yacon
extract is said to be half that of a similarly sized jar of
honey. Yacon tastes sweet without raising blood sugar
levels, because it contains a form of sugar that is not
absorbed in the body. This happens because carbohydrates in
Yacon are in the form of insulin and not starch. The
oligofructose, a dietary sugar found in Yacon, also
encourages growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon.
Yacon is also useful for persons suffering from
constipation. According to some, it also purifies the blood.

Pata de vaca, meaning literally "the cow's hoof" is a small
plant that grows to a height of 5-9 meters and has leaves
that are shaped like a cow's hoofs. Although the
traditional uses of this plant are not well documented, it
has occupied an important place in Brazil. The plant has
been used for over sixty years as a natural diabetes herb
in controlling blood sugar. Its effects are supposed to be
so good that it has earned the sobriquet "vegetable
insulin". Its effects have been clinically tested in South
America where it is a popular natural diabetes herb.

"Sugar Control" combines the goodness of these two natural
diabetes herbs to provide you with a reliable, safe and
natural treatment for diabetes. Amazon Botanicals use only
organically grown or ethically harvested herbs thus
assuring 100% purity without fillers. Other manufacturers
who procure the material from middlemen may, however, be
using stale or adulterated herbs that are unable to give
the benefits.

The herbs are available from Amazon Botanicals in two forms
- tincture and tea. The tincture is prepared by extracting
100% pure Yacon and Pata de vaca in distilled water and 40%
alcohol. The recommended dosage is 60 drops (2 ml) twice a
day, taken under the tongue or added to water or juice.

The tea is prepared from 100% pure Yacon and Pata de vaca
leaves and is available in the form of tea bags. The tea
bags are to be infused in hot water for ten minutes and
taken once a day.

Those under medication for diabetes should take medical
advice before starting on these natural diabetes herbs, as
they have an effect of lowering blood sugar levels and
hence may require adjustments in the existing medication
and their dosages, as well as monitoring of blood sugar
levels.
