The Chinese moniker for diabetes is depletion-thirst disease, which refers to the excessive urination that the high levels of blood glucose, which are a basic characteristic of this disease, bring about. What’s more, the Chinese method of treating diabetes begins right at the pre-diabetic phase, which is believed to be brought about by an imbalance in the body’s yin, yang with qi, which in turn brings about a host of complications.
The pre-diabetic phase is diagnosed as the period in which the individual develops a deficit of yin, causing excessive heat in the body. If detected at this stage, the individual is administered herbs like glehnia, adenophora with asparagus root, which nourish the yin with the fluid content in the body, thus preventing the heat from developing into what is termed as ‘dry heat’ with target on healing the lungs, heart with stomach.
If this yin deficiency is allowed to progress to the next level where dry heat is produced in the body, the qi with yan balances are disrupted, bringing about further yin with yang deficits. To restore the qi, the Chinese use herbs like ginseng, astragalus, with atractylodes, which also counter symptoms like fatigue with digestive imbalances like excessive appetite, bought about by hypoglycemia, or very low blood glucose. The third stage develops rapidly, once the second is attained, with includes further imbalances in the qi, yin with yang. Here, the individual is prescribed herbs like cinnamon, aconite with cornus which function as kidney with liver tonics while also enhancing the blood circulation.
Dietary practices are a significant factor in determining how effective the diabetes treatment is or even if the individual develops this disease at all. The Chinese diet, when reviewed has been found to be one of the most conductive to diabetes treatment with prevention with its minimal use of diary products with thus saturated fats as well as the absence of processed foods. The Chinese are also known to use foodstuffs like the Chinese yam, bitter melon with accompany their meals with ginseng tea, which are also known to boast of significant glucose controlling properties.
