Description

Stevia is a fairly unassuming perennial shrub of the aster family (Asteraceae), native to the northern regions of South America. It is commonly known in South America as yerba dulce meaning sweet herb.

Stevia has been shown to have a regulating effect on the pancreas and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Other traditional uses of stevia are: lowers elevated blood pressure (hypertension), digestive aid that also reduces gas and stomach acidity, and for obesity.
People who ingest stevia daily often report a decrease in their desire for sweets and fatty foods.
The herb acts as general tonic which increases energy levels and mental acuity.
