Gymnema, known as “Gurmar” in India and Australia, has been used for over 2,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, it has been used to treat conditions like diabetes, inflammation, and high cholesterol. The leaves, rich in gymnemic acids, are believed to help manage blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings. In addition to its use for diabetes, Gymnema is also employed in traditional remedies for coughs & sore throats.
