Tibb-e-Nabawi course
Vinegar for Diabetes : Ibn al-Qayyim wrote for Honey :
وَهُوَ أَقَلُّ ضَرَرًا لِسُدَدِ الْكَبِدِ وَالطِّحَالِ مِنْ كُلِّ حُلْوٍ. وَهُوَ مَعَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ مَأْمُونُ الْغَائِلَةِ، قَلِيلُ الْمَضَارِّ، مُضِرٌّ بِالْعَرَضِ لِلصَّفْرَاوِيِّينَ وَدَفْعُهَا بِالْخَلِّ وَنَحْوِهِ فَيَعُودُ حِينَئِذٍ نَافِعًا لَهُ جِدًّا.
Honey is the least harmful for liver and spleen blockages than any other sweet substance. Despite all of this, it is generally safe, causes very little harm, though it may be unsuitable for people of a bilious temperament.
Its adverse effect can be counteracted with vinegar or something similar, after which Honey becomes highly beneficial for them as well."
Ibn Al-Qayyim gave the hint that for people with liver disorders, vinegar plays a role in reducing the adverse effect of Honey’s sweetness.
Modern research says that the liver plays a major role in blood sugar regulation, it stores glucose as glycogen after meals, it releases glucose into the bloodstream between meals. In type 2 diabetes, the liver often produces too much glucose, contributing to high blood sugar. The West also says that drinking vinegar (with water) before meals reduces the blood sugar spikes.
While Ibn al-Qayyim was not describing diabetes in modern physiological terms, it is interesting that he associated vinegar with reducing the adverse effects of Honey. Modern research has independently identified a role for vinegar in improving post-meal blood glucose control, making this an intriguing point of comparison between traditional medical literature and contemporary scientific findings.
