Gymnema sylvestre – efloraofindia | Google Groups . Ethno-pharmacology and Ethno botany, Yarrow and other Indian herbs: As you describe the tongue numbing effects of Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium ) i am reminded of another common Indian herb called Gurmar (Gymnema Sylvestre) whose tongue numbing effects i have myself had the occasion to taste and interestingly both these have been purportedly utilized as anti-diabetics although i am not sure if there is any hard ethno-pharmacological evidence to suggest any effect of benefit.
I am copying this to my friend … with an interest in ethno pharmacology for his inputs. . Need ID: liana with tiny yellow flowers: 3 images. Pl. check Gymnema! I think Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex Sm., as per images and details herein. Yes its Gymnema sylvestrae, . Gymnema sylvestre: 2 images. Leaves in the foreground in the 1st image, may be of some other plant. If you are sure of it’s ID chew a bit of the leaves and then eat some sugar. You do not feel any sweetness!!! You may be right….the leaves were of different plant. I have attached another photo. .
