Ayurvedic Herbs for Blood Sugar Balance
 
Gymnema sylvestre is known in India as the "Destroyer of Sugar." The gymnemic acids in the herb alter the perception of the sweet taste so that sugar cravings are reduced . . . but only for about fifteen minutes. However, when taken consistently for a long time, good results have been observed with both type I and type II diabetes. It is also often recommended for people who are overweight since the leaves inhibit glucose absorption in the intestines.* There are many theories as to the mechanisms whereby this (and other) herbs work, but one of the more appealing gymnema beliefs is that the leaves gradually restore and rebuild the pancreas.
