SugarWise brings together several botanicals with longstanding histories in traditional herbal practices surrounding sugar, digestion, metabolism, and the enjoyment of sweets and carbohydrates.

Gymnema has an especially interesting history in Ayurvedic tradition, where it has long been used in preparations associated with sugar and metabolic health. Its traditional name gurmar is commonly translated as “sugar destroyer,” a reference in part to the remarkable ability of compounds in the leaf to temporarily reduce the perception of sweetness on the tongue.

Fenugreek also has a long history in Ayurvedic and other traditional herbal systems, including use in preparations associated with digestion and healthy glucose metabolism. Cinnamon has centuries of culinary and herbal use and has traditionally been valued as a warming digestive spice; it has also become the subject of modern research concerning glucose metabolism.

Holy basil (Tulsi) has an important place in Ayurveda as a restorative botanical associated with balance and resilience and is widely regarded in modern herbalism as an adaptogen. Ginger contributes another traditionally warming digestive botanical, while green tea, hibiscus, licorice root, and lemon peel round out the formula with their own longstanding culinary and herbal traditions.

Together, these botanicals provide the traditional foundation behind the name SugarWise™ and its place as a tea particularly suited to an after-meal ritual.
