PERCEPTION

Reduces the perception of sweetness inside the mouth

Control Cravings: Gymnema sylvestre aka "the Sugar Destroyer" i

Dr. Michele Burklund January 4, 2014

Gymnema sylvestre aka "the sugar destroyer" is a powerful herb that reduces the perception of sweetness inside the mouth and seems to increase the perception of bitterness by neural inhibition.  

This plant not only makes eating sweet foods undesirable but it also helps to regulate blood glucose levels which will in turn decrease the craving for sweet things.  

TRY IT:

Try it by simply putting a dropperful of the tincture on the tongue and notice that your desire for something sweet has diminished, and if you still try to eat that cookie it will taste like chalk!
