Hi, I am back!!!
Back from Kodaikanal, a magical & beautiful place for nature lovers. It was mesmerizing, my heart literally wept while I was leaving for Delhi yesterday. Vacations get over so fast… na…!!!
Today I am going very off beat than my regular makeup & beauty related posts. It may not sound very relevant to the most of you, but may be some day, some one could get benefited with this. Via the facebook page of Soil & Sun, I came to know about a plant, Costus Pictus which is also known as the insulin plant for it’s ability to aid our body to produce insulin in the case diabetic type. Coincidentally- Soil & Sun operates from the foothills of Kodaikanal.
During last 15 years, a 100% growth in diabetic patients has been seen. It is an alarming situation. We can blame our unhealthy lifestyle, eating habits or genetic disorders, as much as we want but we must face this fact. But diabetes is curable. There are hopes. There are natural ways to treat diabetes for good. It takes consistency, persistence & faith.
Costus Pictus Plant, is a plant which is considered to be anti-diabetic according to folkfare medicine. But there are several scientific references too.
“The corosolic acid in the leaves of the Insulin plant reactivate the beta cells in the pancreas, and help the body manufacture its own insulin”
