Somtamnication Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wife swears by it. I do have type 2 diabetes and short of losing weight, I would like to get off the medicines I am taking. If anyone has any experience with this plant, please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Never heard of it, but according to the link you gave the plant comes from China. It's used in herbal medicines to treat a range of illnesses from haemorrhoids to tumors to diabetes. Apparently the common English name is the purple passion vine or purple velvet plant (Latin name Gynura divaricata DC) so you might be able to Google more info from that. http://lampang.homeip.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I am on Avast and get no report, could be a false positive. anyway, as katana points out the latin name is Gynura divaricata DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
