Diabetes is a disease that needs no introduction. It has become such a common disorder all around the globe now. Not only patients themselves but their relatives and loved ones also are seeking to increase awareness about diabetes, a deadly disease.

Today we can try to learn some basic Yogic techniques or exercises which can help as an alternative method of diabetes cure or as a complement to the usual methods of treatment of diabetes.

We shall start with the Pranayamas or Breathing exercises. They are my all time favorites because of the fact that anybody can do these exercises to effect weight loss. If you are alive and you have a nose and are breathing you definitely can do these simple exercises to cure diabetes.

Let us start with the Bhastrika Pranayama or the Bellows breath. Sit in a comfortable posture either on a chair or on the ground. Keep your legs crossed and spine straight. But take care to see that your neck is slightly bent down so that your spine and the back of your head are aligned. The whole aim of this exercise is to rapidly oxygenate your blood and boost your metabolism for controlling blood sugar. Adjust your breath in such a way that each of your inhalation lasts for 1 second and similarly each of your exhalation lasts for another one second.

This has to be done with some force and effort so that you are literally blowing air into your lungs and again pushing out the carbon dioxide out of your system. Continue alternate inhalation and exhalation up to a count of ten. The 11th breath should be held in to a mental count of five and then released. This whole process completes one round of Bhastrika. Try to do at least 3 rounds as a beginner and you may gradually increase it to ten rounds per day to cure diabetes without medicine.
