Energizing “Coffee Substitute”
Here is what’s in your cup of “Gymnema Brew” and what it does.
Gymnema: called gudmar in Hindi, literally “sugar-killer,” has been scientifically researched and found to help enhance the body’s cellular energy by improving sugar metabolism. Indian Kino: another ayurvedic favorite - the inner hard wood of the tree called vijaya sar, it supplies more prana to the pancreas, making it more efficient, and thus supporting sugar metabolism - modern science also vouches for this property. Jamun Seed: this seed pacifies ranjaka pitta, the governing factor of the pancreas, through its cooling and astringent post-digestive properties. The cooling effect reduces pitta, and the astringent taste makes the pancreas “intelligent,” supporting the flow and distribution of insulin. Fenugreek: the bitterness of fenugreek supports the liver and pancreas, increasing their efficiency as well for sugar and fat metabolism, by facilitating the release of bile from the liver, which goes into colon to digest mainly fat, but sugar as well. Date Seed: nurtures the channels and pacifies ranjaka pitta, the governing factor of the liver and pancreas. Chicory: supports the physical channels and enhances overall physical and vibrational circulation, supporting detox and nurturing all organ and organ systems. Sweet Cinnamon: increases raktagni - the metabolic factor of the blood; when raktagni is low, the glucose in the blood does not get converted into the energy needed to fuel the muscles. Modern research shows that cinnamon increases the body’s ability to transform sugar in to energy.
