Baba Ramdev suggests jamun seeds and herbal mix for controlling diabetes

New Delhi: India is often called the diabetes capital of the world because it has the highest number of patients, and the cases are steadily rising. In almost every household, at least one person suffers from the disease. The main reason is genetics—if diabetes runs in the family, the next generation is at a higher risk. This is known as Type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is usually linked to poor lifestyle choices, lack of exercise, and obesity.

Diabetes cannot be completely cured, but it can be managed with proper diet and regular medication. Recently, Patanjali founder and yoga guru Baba Ramdev shared a video on Instagram in which he recommended natural remedies to help control blood sugar levels.

According to him, jamun (black plum) and its seeds work like medicine for diabetes patients. He explained that jamun supports digestion and helps activate the pancreas’ beta cells, which play a role in producing insulin. This, in turn, helps regulate blood sugar.

For best results, Ramdev advised consuming jamun seeds in powdered form. To prepare it, wash the seeds thoroughly, dry them under the sun, and grind them into powder. He suggested combining them with dried bitter gourd pieces, black cumin, chiraita, and kutki, also sun-dried and finely ground. This mixture, he said, not only supports the pancreas but also improves digestion.

He further added that while mango is heavy to digest, jamun can balance it since it aids digestion. Besides jamun and bitter gourd, amla juice and other herbal remedies are also considered beneficial for managing diabetes. However, he emphasized that before following any home remedy, patients must consult their doctor, as every individual’s body has different needs.
