In Ayurveda, Stevia is considered a "cooling" herb that supports the liver and pancreas. It has been traditionally used to balance blood sugar and reduce excess "pitta" (heat) in the body, which can help people dealing with inflammation and high blood sugar.

Supermarkets are full of products that claim to be healthier because they don’t have “sugar.”
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Not all sugar-free sweeteners are safe.
In fact, some of them might be doing more harm to your body than actual sugar.

Artificial sweeteners confuse your brain
They trick your taste buds into thinking you’ve consumed sugar — but there’s no energy coming in. This disconnect can increase cravings, overeating, and metabolic imbalance.
Your gut doesn’t like chemicals
Many synthetic sweeteners disrupt gut bacteria, which affects digestion, immunity, and even mood. A healthy gut is key to managing sugar levels long term.
Some sweeteners still trigger insulin
Even without calories, certain substitutes can signal your body to release insulin — leading to unexpected sugar crashes and poor blood sugar control.
What Most People Don’t Know
- Aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin are synthetic chemicals — often used in diet sodas and packaged "sugar-free" foods.
- Some are linked to gut issues, headaches, and even blood sugar spikes (ironically)
- They can trick your brain, increase cravings, and make sugar control even harder.
What Should You Use Instead?
There are natural, plant-based sweeteners that have been used in Ayurveda and traditional healing systems for centuries — completely free from chemicals or side effects.
Look for ingredients like:
- Stevia
- Licorice root
- Mulethi
- Indian herbs that support sugar metabolism naturally
