How to Use Guava Leaves for Blood Sugar Balance

1. Guava Leaf Tea

You’ll need:

• 5–7 fresh or dried guava leaves
• 2 cups of water

Instructions:

• Soak off leaves if fresh.
• Bring water to a boil, add the leaves, and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
• Refine and cool slightly.
• Drink 1 cup before meals, once or twice daily.

Tip: Add a cinnamon stick while boiling for a pleasant taste and extra glucose support.

2. Guava Leaf Powder

• Squeeze or mix dried leaves into a fine powder.
• Store in an airtight container.
• To use: Blend ½ teaspoon into a smoothie, yogurt, or warm lemon water once a day.

3. Soaking Method (Traditional Use)

Soak several fresh leaves overnight in clean water. Drink the infusion the next morning on an empty stomach. Though mild, this method is gentle and consistent.

Precautions

• Safe for most people, but those pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking diabetes medication should consult a doctor first.
• Don’t substitute prescribed treatments with guava leaf tea without medical advice.
• Begin small and monitor your body’s response.
