Phytotherapy, which means herbal treatment, is one of today’s common scientific treatment methods. In herbal treatment, extracts, roots, oils and leaves of plants are used. Which plant should be used in which way and for which patients are determined by doctors who are experts in the field of traditional and complementary medicine, and the patient is followed up.
Diabetes, the disease of our age, takes its name from the Greek word for “sugar urine”. The herbal treatment method, which is as old as the history of humanity, is now taking its place as a complementary medicine in the treatment of diabetes in a modernized way.
What are the effects of phytotherapy in diabetes?
Protective Effects
Especially Type 2 diabetes can be inherited from our elders as a genetic inheritance. People with a family history of diabetes are more likely to develop diabetes later in life. Therefore, people with this disease in family elders should take preventive measures.
This is where phytotherapy comes into play. In addition to our diet, we can take advantage of medicinal plants with anti-diabetic effects, and we can postpone the possibility of diabetes to a much later age and even maintain our lives without diabetes.
