The concept of Oriental medicine can apply to all human beings

Some people might ask why they are suffering from diabetes when they neither strain their nerves nor are stressed. The answer can be found in genetics. Diabetes involves both genetics and constitutional factors.

In other words, according to Oriental medicine, the liver’s function is to store and control the blood sugar and smooth the distribution and circulation of vitality among various organs. When a person experiences stress, the liver starts to function abnormally. The circulation and distribution of vitality and blood are impeded. This impeded vitality and blood generate fever in the liver and processes the blood to become impure and thick. In diabetics the blood sugar will increase.
