Insulin Plant for Diabetes



Chamaecostus cuspidatus, common name fiery costus or spiral flag, is a species of herbaceous plant in the family Costaceae native to eastern Brazil. In India, it is known as insulin plant for its purported anti-diabetic properties. Chamaecostus cuspidatus has large fleshy looking leaves. Wikipedia

Scientific name: Chamaecostus cuspidatus

Rank: Species

Family: Costaceae

Kingdom: Plantae

Order: Zingiberales

 Insulin Plant extract has been observed to regulate glucose levels among persons with diabetes just by consuming 1 fresh leaf per day. According to a study, the effect kicks in on the 15th day of consumption!

Like any other herbal plant, researchers do not encourage continuous use as it can have adverse effects. 

The literature we obtained recommends taking it for 30 days (2 leaves in the morning, 2 leaves at night for the first 7 days; 1 leaf in the morning, 1 leaf at night from Day 8 to Day 30). You take a break from Day 31 onwards. 

Make sure to measure your blood sugar on Day 1 so you can measure its effects up to Day 30.

Taste-wise, it is much like Kamias. The sourness will dissipate as you chew. The most important part of the insulin plant is its extract, so make sure to chew well before swallowing.

Please share this information with family and friends who might need it.

PROMOTE UTERINE CONTRACTIONS 

GOOD for  THE LIVER


To reap all these benefits, our common healing practice is to eat five (5) big leaves of fresh Serpentina or six (6) small leaves, thrice (3x) a day. 

It may also be taken as tea but the infused leaves should be eaten as well three (3x) a day. 

You may start with a few leaves as it takes a while to get used to it.



Despite all its virtues, there should be some caution in taking Serpentina, especially, among the following:

1. Should not be taken by patients taking aspirin or any blood thinner medication since Serpentina is also a blood thinner.

2. Pregnant and lactating mothers should avoid this since Serpentina is an abortifacient. While there is no actual study on adverse effects on lactating mothers, it is better not to risk.

3. Individuals with Auto-immune diseases like multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. should avoid taking this.

If Serpentina is taken regularly and continuously, it is important to note also that it should be limited to only three (3) months for adults and one (1) month for children, whether in capsule or fresh form. It has side effects like swollen lymph glands, serious allergic reactions and elevation of liver enzymes. Too much of everything is unsafe.



What is the side effect of serpentina?


It contains chemicals that have been shown to cause low blood pressure and slow heart rate. Long-term use can cause depression. Other possible side effects of Indian snakeroot include nasal congestion, changes in appetite and weight, nightmares, drowsiness, and loose stools.


When should I take serpentina?


The typical dose is 600 mg/day, taken about 1 hour before bedtime. Since the use of rauwolfia results in a decrease of monoamine activity, those who take this compound should be monitored for the possible onset of depressive symptoms.



Food and alcohol interactions

You can take serpentina with or without food. If you experience an upset stomach, taking this medication with meals may prevent discomfort. In addition, it is important to drink plenty of water.

Do not take serpentina with alcohol. Taking these together may increase CNS depression. Signs and symptoms of CNS depression include drowsiness, sedation, slowed heart and breathing rate, and inability to make decisions.
