Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar. The term is derived from the Greek words hypo, meaning "low," glykys, meaning "sweet," and, haima, meaning "blood."

Hypoglycemia is denoted by a less than normal amount of glucose in the blood, usually caused by administration of excessive insulin, excessive secretion of insulin by the islet cells of the pancreas, which is caused mainly by degenerate or deficient diet.

The hormone insulin facilitates the transport of glucose (blood sugar) from the bloodstream into the cells of fatty tissue and muscle which causes glucose to be synthesized in the liver.

However, because we are dealing with an imbalance of a hormone (insulin) secreted from the pancreas, hypoglycemia is a pancreas-related condition, just like diabetes.

When the pancreas is out of whack, a problem will manifest. If too much insulin is secreted, the result is hypoglycemia. If too little insulin is secreted, the result is hypeglycemia. If no insulin is secreted, the result is diabetes.

Some of the medical signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia include headache, blurred vision, dizziness, fatigue, numbness (of tongue, lips); convulsions, palpitation, fainting spells, confusion, perspiration, weakness, nervousness, night sweats, depression, cravings for sweets/sugar; swollen feet, constant hunger, insomnia, pain in certain parts of the body (mainly the eyes), and trembling.

Hypoglycemia is a degenerative disease, which means it is diet-based. Poor, deficient, or inadequate diet is the primary cause of hypoglycemia. A diet high in consumption of refined carbohydrates, various refined sugars (sucrose, Sugar cane crystals, etc.), alcohol, and caffeine (chocolate, coffee, soft drinks, etc.) will greatly sabotage the proper function of the pancreas leading to hypoglycemia.

From an energy perspective, as all disease is first energetic, hypoglycemia, which is a pancreas problem, denotes low energy in the Solar plexus or Third chakra. The Solar Plexus correlates to the pancreas and spleen glands. The two biggest attitudes or emotions that impair the energy and health of the pancreas are ANXIETY and REGRET. These two emotions are stored in the pancreas. People who suffer from anxiety and/or regret may develop an alcohol or Sugar addiction in an attempt to subconsciously numb these emotions.

If pancreatic problems are left or go untreated, in the long run, pancreatic cancer, the worse cancer a person could have, may develop.

Herbs that maintain the proper health of the pancreas include: CINNAMON, DEVIL'S CLUB, STEVIA, GYMNEMA SYLVESTRE, LYCII FRUIT, NETTLE, GUAVA LEAF, FENUGREEK, NEEM, KUDZU, BILBERRY, CERASEE, GOLDENSEAL, FRINGETREE BARK, ELECAMPANE, and MORINGA (KARELA) SEED.
