I have to laugh at the hypocrisy of mainstream medicine sometimes. (Honestly, if I don’t laugh, I might cry!)

On the one hand, they’ll claim there’s NO PROOF that an herbal remedy could help improve any particular condition…

And on the other hand, they’ll WARN you of the DANGEROUS RISKS of that same herb.

Take a closer look… and you’ll see that they’re talking about the SAME EXACT ACTION of that herb!

For instance, you won’t find conventional docs promoting the “tree trick” for diabetes I’m about to share with you.

Yet they’ll be quick to URGE you not to take it with your diabetes meds… because it might LOWER your blood sugar too much!

They can’t have it both ways. Either it DOES reduce glucose levels or it DOESN’T.

If you look at the traditional use… combined with modern-day scientific findings… it appears that it DOES!

If you were to cut a deep wound into the trunk of a myrrh tree (Commiphora myrrha) … it would secrete a sap (a.k.a. resin) to fill in the space and “heal” the wood.

We know that secretion simply as myrrh… which ancient cultures used in its dried form as both incense and perfume.

Traditional Arabic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine have also used it FOR AGES.

Its healing powers on the human body are so MIRACULOUS… it’s no wonder that in biblical times, it was given as a gift alongside gold and frankincense!

TCM uses this “tree gum” to soothe digestion and ease certain types of pain.

But one of the added benefits of this “tree treasure” is that it could also LOWER blood sugar!

Animal studies have found how it could help ENHANCE insulin secretion…

And it’s thought to be due, in part, to myrrh’s antioxidant activity.

But that’s not all…

Because in a 2021 in vitro study, researchers found that myrrh works DIRECTLY on beta cells… which are “ground zero” for insulin production in the pancreas.

Now, Western medicine hasn’t figured out EXACTLY which substances in myrrh are responsible for its anti-diabetic effects…

Which is why Big Pharma hasn’t tried to make a drug out of it yet!

As is the case with many natural cures… it’s probably the COMBINED effect of several different compounds working together…

Which means you’d need the WHOLE herb… and not just a SINGLE isolated element of it.

Myrrh is called “Mo Yao” in Chinese… “mur” in Arabic… and “bola” in Ayurveda.

Some studies have found it to be effective as part of an Ayurvedic herbal formula… combined with other natural alternatives like guggul and haritaki.

If you’re looking for myrrh at your local health food store or online, you should know that some essential oils AREN’T meant to be ingested… but used for aromatherapy or topical use only.

For its diabetes benefits, you’ll need to find a form of myrrh that’s safe to consume – ideally as a capsule from a quality maker you trust.

And be careful combining it with anything else that may lower your blood sugar… from Rx diabetes meds to other herbs.

Check with your doc first to make sure it’s safe for you to try.
