Banaba is a medicinal plant that grows in Asia. The leaves are known to be able to reduce blood sugar in the human body. It’s often used to treat diabetes as it contains a large amount of corosolic acid. It acts as a type of insulin which can be taken orally, such as in tea. Banaba also possesses no known side effects.
