The "King-Tut Cure" for Rising Blood Sugar
Sometimes, it feels like not a year goes by without a new diabetes drug hitting pharmacy shelves to great fanfare.
There’s just one problem.
With each new med comes a new set of dangers.
But promising research reveals another option to try first.
It’s an unexpected, all-natural solution that could help tame your blood sugar WITHOUT frightening side effects.
The trouble with diabetes drugs isn’t that they don’t work. In fact, they’re typically quite good at reducing blood sugar levels. The problems is they also come with a disturbing list of potential side effects.
So, in the end, you could be trading one problem for a bunch of others. Talk about a terrifying trade-off.
But a growing stack of research reveals an all-natural alternative that could help manage blood sugar— and it comes with a bunch of OTHER benefits to boot.
And, should it turn out to be the right fit for you, it could head off a diabetes diagnosis. Or make the disease a whole lot easier to manage… without switching meds… if you’ve already been diagnosed.
This natural blood sugar hero is called black cumin or Nigella sativa. But it’s probably best known simply as black seed oil.
Black seed oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine practices, especially in Asia and Africa. In fact, Nigella sativa seeds were even unearthed in the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut.
But, researchers say this ancient oil could help with a very modern scourge. In fact, they tested it against a placebo in a group of volunteers with diabetes.
The folks who got the seed oil had improvements in nearly every key measure – especially the ones your doctor cares about most:
- fasting blood sugar
- LDL cholesterol
- total cholesterol
- triglycerides
- BMI
- waist circumference
- blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic)
It’s an impressive list, for sure. But let’s focus on that first one for the moment… improved blood sugar. It’s a benefit hinted at in several studies over the years.
The leading theory is that black seed oil enhances the body’s insulin response, ensuring glucose levels behave.
In fact, a 2017 study confirmed it increases insulin production, decreases insulin resistance, stimulates cellular activity, and lowers intestinal insulin absorption. And that, of course, leads to improvements in fasting blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a measurement of your blood sugar levels over time.
But, blood sugar isn’t even what this stuff is best known for. Many folks already rely on black seed oil as a natural way to fight the inflammation that plays a central role in pain, blood vessel issues, chronic disease, and more.
In one study, researchers even found this remarkable oil eased some of the most troubling complications of diabetes, such as painful neuropathies.
Plus, the oil also has a reputation as a natural immune booster. And you don’t need me to tell you how important that is. Our struggles over the past few years are a reminder to us all.
But the benefits don’t end there. Black cumin oil is fantastic for your skin, too. It can fade dark spots caused by aging, sun damage, and hormones. And it leaves skin feeling more elastic, fighting off the free radicals behind fine lines and wrinkles.
There are different ways to use the oil. Some folks apply it directly to the skin to relieve dryness, itchiness, and eczema or to joints to soothe aches and pains. Others take it as a supplement, as they did in the diabetes study I detailed earlier.
If you want to try black seed oil to help tame your OWN blood sugar, your doctor can help you figure out the best way to incorporate it into your current routine.
