Two Diabetes Remedies to Quietly Lower Blood Sugar!

Two Diabetes Remedies to Quietly Lower Blood Sugar! A kind-hearted netizen (Ai Bian, QQ: 826720284): Hello, Teacher Hu. I have two blood sugar-lowering remedies that my mother-in-law shared with me. She has had diabetes for over 20 years, and these remedies were passed on to her by others. The first remedy involves drinking dried mulberry leaves and potentilla (also known as cinquefoil) steeped in water. There’s no specific measurement—my mother-in-law simply uses a large stainless steel mug, grabs a handful of mulberry leaves and potentilla, and steeps them in water. She drinks it whenever she feels thirsty, aiming to consume as much as possible daily until her blood sugar levels normalize. There was a period when she stopped drinking it, and her levels rose again, but they normalized once she resumed. If potentilla isn’t available, she just uses mulberry leaves. She once shared this remedy with a tourist visiting her area, and the person later returned specifically to thank her, as it had been very effective. Potentilla can be purchased at traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies. The second remedy involves drinking water steeped with *Xianglingzi* (Chinese toon fruit) and corn silk. These two ingredients are wrapped in a small cloth bag and steeped in hot water. You can drink it whenever you’re thirsty. The corn silk is quite fine, so wrapping it makes it easier to drink. If corn silk isn’t available, you can just steep *Xianglingzi*. People my mother-in-law knows have also tried this remedy with good results. All four ingredients—mulberry leaves, potentilla, *Xianglingzi*, and corn silk—are available at traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies. Contributor: Teacher Jiang Xiaohua Friendly reminder: *Xianglingzi* is a type of traditional Chinese medicinal material made from the dried fruit of the Chinese toon tree. It is said to have blood pressure-lowering properties and may also help reduce blood sugar levels, though its specific medicinal value requires further research.
