Gymnema is a woody, climbing plant which has great medicinal value in Ayurvedic medicine. It is found in the Western, central and southern tropical forests of India. The Hindu name, Gurmar- “destroyer of sugar” applies to the leaves (the medicinal parts of the plant), which when chewed interfere with the ability to taste sweetness.
