Following the trend of today, even diabetes has a natural cure to it. A fully natural product for diabetic patients is available under the name “Sugar Control”, developed by Amazon Botanicals. It controls the sugar level of the blood. “Sugar Control” contains Yacon and Pata de vaca, both of which is a diabetes herb from Peru. The former is a plant which grows in Peru a 9,300 feet under hot and humid weather conditions. Its tuberous is sweet and crisp, and is quite like a combination of watermelon and apple. Yacon is low on calorie and helps diabetic patients and even those having liver problems. Though Yacon tastes sweet, it doesn’t shoot up the sugar level in the blood, since the sugar it contains cannot be absorbed by the body. The reason for this is the presence of carbohydrates in Yacon not in the form of starch, but insulin. Besides these, the diabetes herb Yacon is also good for treating constipation and for purifying the blood. 

Pata de vaca means the hoof of a cow. It is a small plant which grows to a height of about five to nine meters and owing to its cow hoof-shaped leaves, its name has been derived. This plant has been used as a diabetes herb for over six decades. The effects of Pata de vaca have been clinically tested as well. 

Given the great benefits of these two diabetes herbs, “Sugar Control”, which combined the benefits of both these herbs, can safely be said to be natural and reliable. Freshly harvested herbs, which are either wild-crafted or grown organically, are used by Amazon Botanicals. Other companies generally use stale herbs which they buy from middlemen and their safety and reliability is doubtful. Tea and tincture are two forms of these natural herbs for diabetic patients. The preparation of tincture is done by the extraction of pure Yacon and Pata de vaca in distilled water and forty percent alcohol. Its normal dosage is 2ml two times a day, which can either be taken directly or mixed with juice or water. 

The preparation of tea is done from pure Yacon and Pata de vaca leaves, which is available in forms of tea bags. The recommended dosage is once a day, where the tea bags are dipped in hot water. For people who are under medication for their diabetic issues, it is recommended to consult a physician prior to consuming either of this diabetes herb, since they tend to lower the blood sugar level, and thus may need some adjustments to the ongoing medication for effectiveness.
