Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of research on lowering blood sugar, and there are usually three different TCM treatments: acupuncture, massage and dietotherapy to systematically improve their own problems.
Through Huangdi Neijing, the most famous representative work of TCM theory, we can know that there are many kinds of TCM that can lower blood sugar. Astragalus membranaceus, a more common Chinese herbal medicine, can enhance the contractility of the heart, thereby relaxing blood vessels, protecting the normal function of liver cells and promoting blood sugar decomposition.
Cortex Lycii and Rhizoma Coptidis also have obvious effects of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. Moreover, the dissolution of blood sugar by Coptis chinensis does not affect the release of insulin, but plays a hypoglycemic role by inhibiting glycogen.
In addition to these common Chinese herbal medicines, acupuncture commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to identify acupuncture points and stimulate them to lower blood sugar. However, the hypoglycemic effect of this method is not immediate, but gradually effective through repeated treatment.
Furthermore, Chinese massage can dredge meridians, which is conducive to the recovery and operation of liver function, thus ensuring the secretion and work of insulin and achieving the effect of lowering blood sugar. This method also needs long-term persistence, and more plays the role of adjuvant therapy. From the perspective of TCM health, it is impossible to lower blood sugar overnight, and it is necessary to adjust the functions of various parts of the body step by step to produce obvious results.
