Diabetes is a health disorder and you need to control your diabetes. The number of diabetic patients is rapidly increasing in this world. Diabetes is a disease that needs to be treated in proper manner. Our daily intake of sugar is normally broken down into sugar, which is the glucose in our body.

This disorder is called diabetes.

There are two types of diabetes – Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin completely. Type 2 diabetes can produce insulin; however, the cells become resistant to it. In both the types of diabetes, the glucose is unable to enter into the cells and as a result, the glucose floats in the blood. Depending on the severity of the diabetes, a person has to take medications to control diabetes or cure it.

If very high level of blood sugar is not treated, it can lead to certain other complications such as blindness, heart attacks, strokes, nerve damage, and problem in the limbs. These can be life threatening if not treated on time.

According to Ayurveda, there are three types of doshas called the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. If your body type is vata, then your skin will be rough, dry, cold, and thin with fine pores; if your body type is pitta, then your skin will be fair and delicate with freckles, acne, and moles.

This type of skin is prone to burns. In case of kapha, your skin will be smooth, moist, oily, and thick with large pores. Based on the skin type you are having, Ayurvedic remedies can help you solve all your skin problems.

 

Before we get into treatment, follow the basic tips recommended by Ayurveda.

  • Drink 2-3 liters of water daily.

This herb is an anti-inflammatory.

Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is used from ancient times. This herb is widely used for several purposes. Aloe Vera gel, which is taken freshly from the plant, is applied on the face. This herb helps to get rid of wrinkles and other signs of aging. It also moisturizes and gives soothing effect for the skin.

Lemon and Almond: Lemon has citric and alpha hydroxyl acid that help to lighten the dark spots on the skin. When skin is excessively exposed to sun and air pollution, dark spots appear on the skin, which is known as ‘hyper-pigmentation’. According to Ayurvedic herbal remedy, a mixture of a few almonds with lemon juice and fresh cream of milk can be applied on the face and on the areas where black spots appear.
