WRANGLE blood sugar woes with this Arab ‘rope bush’
You can’t remember the last time you had even a BITE of Halloween candy…
And you’ve DECLINED offerings of pastries and desserts at every turn.
So you can’t help but wonder…
How could your blood sugar possibly be high?
Well, friend, the sad truth is that you don’t have to have a huge sweet tooth for type 2 diabetes to STRIKE.
Because for some folks, it’s not WHAT they eat…
But how their bodies METABOLIZE it!
And some bodies are a little overzealous when it comes to CONVERTING healthy food into sugar… and ABSORBING it into the bloodstream instead of USING it for energy.
Fortunately, there’s a way to BLOCK excess sugar…
And you DON’T need a doc to write you a prescription for it.
A Saharan secret
Thymelaea hirsuta is related to the kitchen spice, thyme…
But this hirsute or “hairy” herb is about as UNCOMMON in this country as it gets!
It grows wild in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria… where nomadic tribes of the Sahara Desert have used various parts of this shrub to make rope, a.k.a. “mitnan.”
Nowadays, T. hirsuta is one of the most popular medicinal herbs for treating diabetes in that part of the world.
But it’s more than just a “folk cure” – because the science backs up its traditional use.
In one animal study, blood glucose was significantly lowered… after just ONE DOSE of it.
The key appears to be in the herb’s polyphenol content… which contributes to its potent antioxidant action.
And as you’ve surely heard, antioxidants are CRUCIAL to beating back the damage caused by excess sugar in your system.
But there’s something ELSE at work here with T. hirsuta.
Research has shown that it can INHIBIT the sugar-producing enzyme alpha-glucosidase.
Now, Big Pharma has its own line of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors…
But the problem with blood sugar-lowering diabetes meds is that they sometimes work TOO well.
And blood sugar levels that dip TOO LOW can become DEADLY.
Fortunately, T. hirsuta can keep starches from being converted into sugars… and therefore LOWER glucose absorption in your gut… WITHOUT drugs!
Now, you might find it IMPOSSIBLE to find T. hirsuta in this country right now…
And you may not see yourself hopping a plane to travel abroad anytime soon.
Fortunately, there are other herbal remedies for blood sugar woes… ones that work in the same exact way… that I’ve shared with you before right here in eAlert.
Those include…
- cinnamon
- white mulberry
- garden cress
- caigua
- salacia
- and more.
Just be sure to check with your doc before starting any new routine – just to make sure it won’t interact with any meds or other supplements you may already be taking.
To getting your blood sugar levels just right,
Melissa Young
