Helps To Support Symptoms of Adult High Blood Sugar. - Gymnema Sylvestre is also known by the names Gurmar, Gurmabooti, Rams Horn, Periploca of the Woods, and Meshasringi. Gymnema is a climbing plant that grows in the tropical forests of central and southern India. The woody Gymnema plant also grows in parts of Africa. Leaves of this long, slender plant have been used for more than 2,000 years. The leaves, when chewed, interfere with the ability to taste sweetness, which explains the Hindu name "gurmar." - In the past, powdered Gymnema root was used to help support skin irritations, constipation, stomach complaints, water retention, and liver problem. However, the name Gurmar best describes the primary use of Gymnema - because "gurmar" means "sugar destroyer." This herb has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years to help support health concerns, once described as "honey urine." The hypoglycemic action of Gymnema leaves was first documented in the late 1920s
