Gudmar herbal powder, originating from Asia, has been utilized in traditional Indian medicine for millennia. According to Ayurveda, it is referred to as Gudmar, translating to ‘Sugar-Destroyer’. Chewing Gudmar leaves temporarily desensitizes the tongue to sweet tastes for 1-2 hours. Gudmar aids in regulating healthy blood sugar levels by enhancing pancreatic secretions and supporting the metabolism of excess sugar.
As described in the Bhavprakash Nighantu, an ancient Ayurvedic text, Gudmar herb exhibits a bitter taste, transforms into a pungent taste post-digestion, possesses dry properties, and aggravates the Vata dosha. It aids in regularizing bowel movements, enhancing digestion, curbing sugar cravings, and fostering healthy glucose metabolism.
Consumption of Gudmar or Gymnema Powder with warm water in the morning reduces phlegm and cough formation in diabetic patients. Consistent use of Gymnema Powder over time prevents the adverse effects of Diabetes Mellitus on the body, including the reduction of Average Blood Glucose or Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels. Additionally, Gudmar herbal powder promotes the healing of diabetic wounds and the repair of damaged tissues when combined with other healing herbs. It also assists in maintaining skin health, preventing ailments caused by high sugar levels.
According to modern science and ongoing research, Gudmar contains Gymnemic acids, renowned for their efficacy as sugar-metabolizers. These acids stimulate beta cells in the pancreas, thereby contributing to the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels.
