Details

Chiretta (Chirata, Chirayata, Swertia) grows to about three feet high and is a Nepal and some parts of India where it grows on the foothills of the Himalayas. It is harvested after flowering and the whole plant is used.

This plant is very bitter and any extract will be very bitter to take, tinctures possibly the easiest to administer.

The blood sugar reduction effects of this plant is claimed to be self moderating (i.e. once blood sugar levels stabilise at an acceptable level the effect of this herb reduces accordingly). Some laboratory tests have gone a long way towards confirming these claims but is st6ill regarded as not fully conclusive.

Chiretta also stimulates the generation of saliva and gastric fluids in the body.
