Gymnema tea is sometimes used to control obesity. Gymnema may lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels by blocking the absorption of fats. Gymnema can reduce the perception of sweetness and increase the perception of bitterness. Other uses for gymnema include: asthma, eye complaints, inflammations, family planning, and snakebite.

      How to use:

      The basic method for dried herbs and flower is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup or teapot.  Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes.  Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals.  Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!

      You can sweeten your herbal tea with a bit of honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaves powder and or licorice root powder. 

      You can make ice cubes or pops by freezing tea in ice trays or pop molds.

      Precautions:

      You should consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
