Indications
A small South American perennial shrub, stevia is one of the most versatile plants known to man. It contains steviosides - the sweetest natural substances ever found, has no calories, and may help diabetics. Utilized primarily as a table top sweetener, it can replace sugar or honey in food, baking, and beverages. Stevia's mild anti-bacterial activity makes it effective for mouth ulcers, cold sores, sore throats, bleeding gums, and to inhibit plaque and cavities.

Contraindications
All types of individuals, including diabetics, have used stevia safely for over 1500 years. There are no known contraindications.

Therapeutic Indications
Stevia is an exceptional aid for loosing and managing weight as it contains no calories and actually reduces cravings for sweets and fatty foods. Hunger sensations are also minimized if taken 20 minutes before meals. Research indicates stevia may in fact reset hunger mechanisms in people with an obstructed pathway between the stomach and hypothalamus. If so, stevia would help people feel satiated sooner, aiding them to eat less. Unlike artificial sweeteners, stevia's sweet glycosides do not break down in heat. Stevia extracts do not add to the browning action natural sweeteners do and are non-fermenting, making it excellent for cooking or baking.

Benefits of adding stevia to the daily diet also include; improved digestion and gastrointestinal function, soothed upset stomachs, and quicker recovery from minor illness. Users have even reported that drinking a tea from or enhanced with stevia reduced their desire for tobacco and alcohol.

Scientific research has indicated that stevia effectively regulates blood sugar and brings it into balance. In some South American countries it is sold as an aid for people with diabetes and hypoglycemia. Many reported that taking 20-30 drops of stevia liquid concentrate with each meal reduced their blood glucose to normal levels within a short time period.

Obviously each individual's condition is different and such experimentation should be done under the supervision of a qualified health practitioner.

Another important benefit is stevia's tonic action, which enhances energy levels and mental activity. Stevia tends to lower elevated blood pressure without affecting normal blood pressure, and regulates the heartbeat. Additionally, it inhibits the growth and reproduction of some bacteria and infectious organisms, including those that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Stevia users report a lower incidence of colds and flu and significant improvement in oral health when the concentrate is added to their toothpaste and used, diluted in water, as a daily mouthwash.
