The health benefits of mango leaves for diabetes and more.
1. Diabetes is a common condition where the blood contains too much glucose, and the body is unable to process it properly.
2. This happens because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because the cells don’t react to insulin properly.
3. There are many natural foods which can be used to help regulate blood sugar levels, and therefore keep diabetes at bay.
4. Mango leaves have been shown to lower blood sugar levels. This will not cure diabetes, but will help control the condition.
5. There are three different ways that you can consume the leaves to get the benefits.
6. The first method is to soak around 10-15 leaves in water, and refrigerate overnight. You can then drink this water and discard the leaves.
7. The second method is for when you don’t have the time to soak the leaves. Simply place 3 leaves in a cup of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drink.
8. The third method includes long term preparation. You can dry out mango leaves in a shady area for 1-2 weeks. Then grind to a powder and store. You can eat one teaspoon of this 2-3 times per day, or steep in water to make mango leaf tea.
9. Mango leaves also contain vitamins, enzymes, minerals and anti-oxidants which are beneficial for your overall health.
10. Drinking this tea regularly will also help to regulate blood pressure, strengthen veins, reduce hypertension and treat hiccups.
11. If you suffer with asthma, the oils contained within the leaf tea will help to ease your condition, allowing for easier breathing.

13. You can also use the tea as a mouth gargle to treat gum problems, and mouth ulcers.
14. Like many other herbal leaves, they help to increase digestion, allowing the body to pass toxins more effectively also boosting the immune system.
