Ayurveda provides some effective remedies to control diabetes. One of the solutions in Ayurveda is offered by Gurmar or Gymnema sylvestre, a tropical plant native to India. Gurmar grows wild in the tropical forests of the central, western and southern parts of the country. The herb is known to provide a traditional remedy for a variety of ailments, including diabetes, malaria and even snake bites.
Let’s take a look at the benefits of Gurmar for people with diabetes:
According to a study, consuming Gurmar can help reduce the craving for sugary or sweet food. Gurmara extract might reduce the ability to taste sweeteners and thus make sweet foods less appealing. Healthline reports that when gurmar is consumed before a sugary food or drink, gymnemic acid blocks sugar receptors on your taste buds. Research has found that people who received gurmar supplement had a lower appetite for sweet foods at later meals and were more likely to limit their food intake than those who were not taking the extract.
It has also been found that Gurmar’s role in insulin secretion and cell regeneration may also contribute to its blood-sugar-lowering abilities. According to Healthline, Gymnema sylvestre may stimulate insulin production in the pancreas, promoting the regeneration of insulin-producing islet cells. It can help reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics.
Gurmar is believed to have anti-diabetic properties. Similar to its effect on the taste buds, gurmar may also block receptors in the intestines and thus sugar absorption, lowering post-meal blood sugar levels. In one study, gurmar improved blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels.
The indigenous herb may also help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides. According to one study, gulmar extract had an anti-obesity effect on animals that were fed a high-fat diet. The herb also lowered levels of blood fats and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
If you are looking for an Ayurvedic way to lose weight, then Gurmar can be the solution. Since Gurmar blocks the sweet receptors on the taste buds, it allows you to eat less sweet foods and consume fewer calories. One study also showed a reduction in body weight in rats that were given Gurmar ka water extract. In another study, rats on a high-fat diet fed gurmars extract lost weight as well.
