Cinnamon Bark benefits
Chinese medicine has used Cinnamon bark, or "Cassia" for thousands of years to treat diabetes. It is believed that hydroxychalcone, the active ingredient in cinnamon, may enhance the effect of insulin by helping the body become more sensitive to it. Increasing insulin sensitivity allows the cells and tissue to uptake glucose and thus promotes glycogen synthesis. It is recommended to consult a medical profession before combining Cinnamon with medications that can cause hypoglycemia, such as insulin or sulfonylureas. You may need to adjust your medication dose to prevent your blood sugar level from becoming too low.

Aloe Vera benefits
Some modern studies have shown that Aloe Vera can reduce blood sugar levels up to 50% in some people. In addition to reducing blood sugar levels, Aloe Vera contains protein, amino acids, and enzymes that are beneficial to your body.

Ginger Root Benefits
Ginger root is another herbal ingredient with a long history in Chinese medicine. While not known for controlling blood sugar levels, ginger is well-known for it’s effect on cholesterol levels and improved circulation.
