Gymnema sylvestre is a well-known Ayurvedic herb and translated from the Sanskrit word Gurmar, it means “sugar destroyer”! However, it is less well known for its benefits for the digestive system, as it is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to maintain healthy digestive system function.
Cinnamon has long been a culinary and medicinal spice and is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve abdominal bloating, digestive spasms and flatulence.
Bitter melon, known as “Karela” in Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine & “Ku Gua” in Traditional Chinese Medicine, has the botanical name momordica charantia.
