Historical and Traditional Uses of the herbs in the Diabetic Formula
Dandelion Root and leaf (Taraxicum officinalis): In folk medicine (dating back to the 10th century in Arabic medicine) used for liver, pancreas, and gallbladder disorders and in the treatment of diabetes. It helps to purify the blood by increasing blood flow to the tissues, aiding assimilation and stimulating metabolism.

It stimulates digestion and bile production, helps to cleanse and purify the body, stimulates the flow of urine while providing potassium, strengthens and tonifies the liver, helps in the renewal and repair of all organs while preventing further destruction. A study conducted in 1995 at Dunn Clinical Center in Cambridge, England showed that the inulin contained in Dandelion increased the beneficial bacteria in the colon (called bifidobacteria) which helped patients to digest increased sugar consumption. Dandelion, historically is used in all diabetic formulas.
Devil's Club (Oplopanax horridum): Traditionally used as a blood sugar stabilizing agent, Devil's club has been shown to raise or lower blood sugar as needed. It has been routinely used in the treatment of diabetes as a natural alternative to insulin.

In Ayurevedic medicine Gymemna has been used to manage diabetes for centuries. Two studies from the Journal of Ethnopharmacolgy report that Gymemna had a hypoglycemic effect on patients and a study in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Science stated the Gymemna was able to inhibit glucose absorption in the intestines.
Tumeric (Curcuma longa): A powerful gallbladder stimulant which promotes the flow of bile and stimulates gastric juices. Used traditionally as an antioxident, antiinflammatory and anti-hepatotoxic (liver) herb useful in the treatment of such inflammatory conditions as diabetes and hepatitis.

Historical and Traditional Uses of the herb Nettles
Nettles (Urtica dioica): Found across the continents, from Europe to Asia, Africa to Australia, this stinging perennial has naturalized to the Americas as well. With a long history tracing back to the Romans, it has been consistently referred to as a blood purifier and blood builder. Traditional uses include supporting the urinary, respiratory, digestive, and glandular tracts, including documented treatments for seasonal allergies, asthma, ulcers, bronchitis, jaundice, nephritis, hemorrhoids, and spasmodic dysmenorrhea (painful menses).
Current scientific studies have found Nettles to be very high in bio- available calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A and C, potassium, riboflavin, selenium, iron, and thiamine, which can benefit hair and nail growth, and are used in many hair care products around the world. Further studies indicate that Nettles can play a role in stimulating white blood cells, aiding coagulation, and supporting the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
German scientists are currently studying Nettles as a treatment for prostate cancer and the Russians are testing it as an aid to resolving cholecystitis (inflamed gall bladder) and jaundice. The leaves have been approved for use in Germany as supportive treatment of rheumatism and kidney infections while root preparations are approved for symptomatic relief of urinary difficulties associated with early stages of benign prostate hypertrophy (B.P.H., or nonmalignant swelling of the prostate) in men over 50 year of age.
Please note that Nettles have been known to produce mild allergic reactions in individuals prone to such sensitivities, and should always be used with this in mind.
