Description

India is considered as Diabetic capital of the world. Secondary complications of diabetes include: Neuropathy (Nerve damage), Nephropathy (Kidney damage) and Retinopathy (Eye damage). To overcome the retinopathy 11 medicinal plants have been chosen that overcome retinopathy four ways: 1. Anti oxidants - Overcome the Oxidative Stress, 2. Hypoglycemic as these reduce Blood sugar 3. Angiogenic as they help in blood vessel development 4. impart strength to pericytes, the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels hence prevent their leakage. "If all of these natural remedies are so safe and their side effects so uncommon, why has western medicine not employed them in the battle against diabetes and other degenerative diseases?" The fact is, medical science has become overwhelmingly dependent on the pharmacological approach to disease management. So enamored are western medical practitioners with the allure of high-tech medicine that they lack interest in the more down-to-earth cures offered by Mother Nature.
