Turmeric
Belonging to the ginger family, this bright orange root has been used in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine—for hundreds and hundreds of years—and for good reason; turmeric is a spectacular herb for the body. The most crucial component of turmeric is curcumin—the substance which gives turmeric it’s signature orange hue. It has numerous benefits: it supports healthy digestion, eases pain, brightens the skin, improves liver function and on and on... With antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties, this root helps treat both types of diabetes, as well as preventing the onset of diabetes in the first place. Specifically, turmeric improves insulin function, reduces insulin resistance, protects beta cells (which are responsible for insulin production), improves any insulin-response pathways which have been disrupted, reduces the inflammatory signals which are typically overactive in diabetes (for example, IL-1, cytokines IL-6 and TNF) and treats many diabetic symptoms due to it’s anti-inflammatory effect. Curcumin can be difficult for the body to properly absorb, but the addition of black pepper remedies this. Just by using a small amount of black pepper you can enhance the bioavailability of this medicinal plant.
