The Sugar Destroyer

Used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, Gymnema sylvestre is best known for its unique ability to suppress the taste of sweetness, earning it the name “sugar destroyer.” Traditionally used to support balanced blood sugar, reduce sugar cravings, and encourage healthy metabolism, this bitter leaf is a go-to herbal ally in navigating today’s high-sugar world.

Tasting notes: Earthy, slightly bitter
Pairs well with: Holy basil, cinnamon, ginger, or peppermint
Traditionally used for: Blood sugar balance, sugar cravings, metabolic health

How to Brew:
Use 1 teaspoon of dried gymnema leaf per 8 oz of hot water.
Steep covered for 10–15 minutes.
Strain and enjoy 1–2 cups daily, ideally between meals.

Note: Gymnema can temporarily block the taste of sweet flavors. Sip mindfully.
