Hi, I'm Gabi Cezar. I am a holistic therapist specializing in herbal medicine, aromatherapy, Bach flower and Saint Germain flower therapy and phytoenergy. Today we are going to talk about a beautiful plant, with tiny white flowers, which is very easy to plant using cuttings and can be grown in a pot anywhere in the house.
We are talking about stevia, which was only discovered as a sweetener in 1987 and only in 1995 released to be marketed as such.
Very different from its all-chemical competitors, like Aspartame, cyclamate and saccharin, which gave cancer in lab rats, our friend stevia is all natural and you can dry it, grind it and you will have your natural, homemade sweetener. Isn't it wonderful?
Well, so you who are diabetic, or you who know a diabetic pay attention to this matter and share this information.
STEVIA leaf
CIENTIFICO NAME: Stevia rebaudiana

It improves hyperactivity, regulates high blood pressure, helps with problems related to the digestive system, such as indigestion. And fights candidiasis.
Chewing stevia leaf helps to quit smoking. Chew 1 leaf whenever you feel like smoking. Not exceeding the amount of 8 to 10 per day.
