Herbs and diabetes
Posted on July 8th, 2007 by DAAN
Researchers are studying whether herbs can be used to treat diabetes:
“Researchers from the University of Western Sydney are using a combination of Chinese herbs to help patients at high risk of diabetes.
Suzanne Grant from the Centre for Complementary Research says they are trialing a combination of six herbs including tumeric, seaweed and lychee seeds.
She says evidence from Chinese studies shows the mixture can help patients with diabetes.
“They conducted a clinical trial in people with diabetes and found it had a good effectiveness in lowering blood glucose and sensitising insulin,” she said.”
