People are increasingly looking for alternatives to the dangerous side effects of conventional synthetic drugs. It is not surprising that the herbal medicine industry has experienced a sudden boom. But people need to be cautious. Many unprofessional entrepreneurs market so-called miracle herbs that have no therapeutic benefits. People should only choose safe and effective alternative herbal remedies when choosing. Banaba tea is one such example. This bitter-tasting tea is made from the leaves of the tropical tree Lagerstroemia speciosa.
Let’s see…
It is not harmful to the human health. It has been used in the Philippines for centuries as a treatment for many conditions. Banaba tea’s anti-diabetic qualities are one of its most popular health benefits. Banaba tea’s ability to treat diabetes isn’t a myth. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the effectiveness of banaba tea in fighting diabetes. Researchers discovered that banaba leaves also contain corosolic acids.
Researchers discovered that corosolic acids has similar properties to insulin. Corosolic acid actively lowers glucose concentrations. Type 2 diabetes patients, especially, are unable to control their glucose levels. Because of its corosolic acid, tea from banaba trees can help diabetics maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Gout
Gout is a debilitating condition that can affect many people around the world. Gout is a form of arthritis that accounts for approximately 5% of all arthritis cases. There are many effective gout medications on the market. However, many gout sufferers complain of side effects. People who have taken the popular gout medication zyloprim have reported experiencing unpleasant side-effects.
Side-effects of zyloprim use include nausea, diarrhea and loss of appetite. People who used colchicine (another anti-gout drug) reported experiencing acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and other side effects similar to zyloprim users. Banaba tea is a natural and safe treatment for gout. For centuries, Filipinos have been boiling banana leaves to treat gout.
Research
Recent scientific studies have shown that banaba tree leaves contain valoneic acid dimatone (VAD), which is a compound that prevents the enzyme xanthine oxide from converting xanthine into uric acid. Joints will become irritated if there is too much uric acid in your bloodstream. The accumulation of uric acid in a joint can cause severe pain when it crystallizes into needle-like crystals. You can stop crystalline uric acids from forming in joints by reducing excessive uric acid synthesis. Zyloprim, colchicine and VAD both work in the same manner to treat gout.
However, both active compounds can cause unwanted side effects. VAD from banaba leafs, on the other hand, stops excessive uric acid production without causing discomfort. Banaba tea is recommended for people who have difficulty urinating. L. speciosa leaf compounds have diuretic properties, which help ease urination. Tea from the banaba plant, which contains anti-bacterial compounds, can be used to treat minor urinary tract infections.
Conclusion
Millions of people around the world suffer from various types of kidney disease. Although there are many treatments and medications that can be used to treat kidney problems, they are often expensive. Regular consumption of banaba tea may be beneficial for those with mild kidney problems. The leaves of the banaba tree have compounds that flush out harmful elements from the kidneys. Banaba tea is very affordable.
