Can someone please tell me what fig leaf tea is good for?

Fig leaf tea helps support proper insulin response.



Researchers in Spain have shown that fig leaf (ficus carica) tea can help maintain proper insulin levels.



It can easily be made using 2 teaspoons of dried cut leaves. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the leaves, cover, and let the brew sit for 10 to 15 minutes before drinking. Drink 1 cup each morning at breakfast. Dried fig leaves can usually be purchased at your local health food store.



Consult with your doctor - if you're currently taking medications, before use.
