Diabetes Type 2
A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose).
Historical context
Traditional systems often categorize metabolic imbalances as a disorder of 'assimilation' and 'sweetness' in the blood, historically managed through systemic lifestyle and botanical harmonization.
Common symptoms
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing sores
Mechanisms
The body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough. Holistic approaches focus on restoring metabolic 'frequency' through cellular sensitivity and digestive fire regulation.
