                Product Name:- Gotukola Leaves Powder


Common Name: Gotu kola, Indian Pennywort (English), Brahmi (Hindi), Manduukaparani
Botanical name: Centella asiatica

Parts Used : Leaves

Gotu kola is a perennial plant native to India, Japan, China, Indonesia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the South Pacific. A member of the parsley family, it has no taste or smell. It thrives in and around water. It has small fan-shaped green leaves with white or light purple-to-pink flowers, and small oval fruit. The leaves and stems of the gotu kola plant are used as medicine.

Some clinical trials have looked at the use of gotu kola powder and its compounds in people with poor blood flow, usually in the legs. These limited studies suggest that gotu kola may help reduce swelling in the legs and feet, although more scientific studies are needed. Other research that has looked at gotu kola powder in humans has been limited by small numbers of patients and problems in study methods. Although at least one laboratory study of tumor cells showed reduced cell growth with gotu kola, available scientific evidence does not support claims of its effectiveness for treating cancer or any other disease in humans.

What is the history behind it?

Gotu kola has a long history in the folk medicines of India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar and is still widely used in these countries today. It has been used for generations in India to promote relaxation, improve memory, and aid meditation. In traditional Chinese medicine, the herb is believed to promote longevity. The Chinese name for gotu kola translates to "fountain of youth." A Sri Lankan legend says that elephants have long lives because they eat gotu kola.

Antipyretic, diuretic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory, sedative, antispasmodic, antioxidant, adaptogenic, tonic, digestive, vulnerary, alterative, antiviral, antibiotic, nervine, rejuvenative, blood purifier, adrenal strengthener

  • Connective tissue disorders - including wounds, burns, scleroderma, psoriasis
  • Joint disease - including psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
  • Blood vessel disorders, especially venous insufficiency (varicose veins, varicose ulcers, leg oedema)

Very little information is available on how gotu kola powder might affect an infant or a small child. Therefore, its use is not recommended while breast-feeding or during early childhood.

The leaves, bark, and seeds are the most useful parts among which the seeds are popular for their anti diabetic properties.

buy truu pure, natural and Ayurvedik Steiva Leaves  powder online at :-http://truu.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=75

Product name:- Steiva Leaves powder  


Common name:  sweet leaf, sugar leaf
Botanical name: Stevia rebaudiana
Part used: leaf

Stevia is one of a family of plants that are native to South America and have been used for centuries to sweeten drinks and foods. Stevia leaves are said to be from 30 to 300 times sweeter than sugar * though the amount of sweetness varies from leaf to leaf and plant to plant. It is touted as a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners. To date, chemical analysis and studies show that the leaf powder adds no calories, has no harmful side effects and is more palatable with less aftertaste than any artificial, chemical sweetener to date. Stevia powder has been in wide use in South America for centuries, and in Japan since the government banned the use of artificial sweeteners. To date, no harmful side effects have come to light, making stevia one of the most promising sugar alternatives available. Stevoside, made from stevia powder, is approved as a food additive in Korea, and is widely available throughout China, Taiwan and Malaysia.

WHAT IS IN IT?
Diterpene glycosides, steviol, dulcoside, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside A, isosteviol, stevioside, jhanol, flavonoid glycosides, quercetin,

HOW IT WILL HELP YOU?
·         High blood pressure. Some research suggests that taking 750-1500 mg powder per day of stevioside, a chemical compound in stevia powder, reduces systolic blood pressure (the upper number in a blood pressure reading) by 10-14 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) by 6-14 mmHg within one week of starting treatment. However, other research suggests that taking stevioside in doses up to 15 mg per kg per day does not significantly reduce blood pressure in patients with mild high blood pressure.
·         Diabetes. Early research suggests that 1000 mg daily of stevioside, a chemical compound in stevia, might reduce blood sugar levels after meals by 18% in people with type 2 diabetes. However, other research suggests that taking 250 mg of stevioside three times daily does not significantly affect blood sugar levels or HbA1c (a measure over blood sugar levels over time) after three months of treatment in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
·         Preventing pregnancy.
·         Heartburn.
·         Weight loss.
·         Water retention.
·         Heart problems.
·         Other conditions.
  • Natural Sweetener
  • Calorie Free
  • Great alternative to sugar or artificial sweeteners
·          

How to take it?
For the sake of simplicity, let's say we consume about 100 grams of sugar a day. Since the sweetness of stevioside is 300 times that of sugar, the maximum daily consumption of stevia powder would be 100 grams divided by 300, or a third of a gram
What should you remember?

1. Recommended Dosage

The recommended dose of stevia powder depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, as well as several other conditions. Up until no, there is no enough scientific evidence to determine an appropriate range of doses for stevia. Bear in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or healthcare professional before using.

2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There has not been a great deal of research performed to determine how Stevia powder may affect those that are pregnant or breastfeeding. In order to avoid potential complications those that are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using this product.

3. Allergic to Ragweed and Related Plants

Stevia has been known to cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to plants in the Compositae or Asteraceae family. This may include common plants such as daisies, chrysanthemums, ragweed or marigolds. Those that have such allergies should avoid using products that are known to contain Stevia sweeteners.

4. Diabetes

Some research has indicated that chemicals in the Stevia plant can drop blood sugar levels in a way that will limit the body’s ability to control the blood sugar level. However, other experiments have indicated that this is not the case. Those that have diabetes should carefully monitor their blood sugar while using Stevia products and report any changes or notable side effects to their doctor to determine if it is safe to continue using this product as a sweetener.

5. Lower Blood Pressure

Some evidence implies that regularly consuming Stevia or the chemicals in this product may help to lower your blood pressure, though this research is not conclusive. There is some concern that if people who already have low blood pressure consume large amounts of Stevia products it can cause their blood pressure to drop to a point which can be dangerous. If you have low blood pressure and have been considering using Stevia as an alternative for your regular sweeteners you should speak to your regular health care provider about this potential side effect to avoid any negative health concerns.

They have a fragrant flavor that is reminiscent of both citrus peel and sage. Coriander seeds are available in whole or ground powder form.
