Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 This is interesting and am curious as to what others say. I did not know stevia had any medicinal value. I have always used it as a sweetener, only. I have known marshmallow to be used for gangrene with excellent results and it was not a cold infusion. I was not taught that it had to be a cold infusion . DM In a message dated 3/15/2009 10:17:09 A.M.

Also, he said the stevia extracts have no medicinal value whatsoever for that reason. Again, is that true? What have you found? Thanks, Christine **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don;t use it medicinally. I use it as a sugar substitute. - " cmross428 " <cmross428 Sunday, March 15, 2009 5:29 AM Stevia: cold infusion? > Hello, > > Some herbs, such as marshmallow root, require cold infusion in water or > else they will lose their medicinal properties. > > The other day, I was talking to a stevia farmer and he said that you have > to make a cold infusion of the stevia plant, or else the medicinal > properties will be destroyed.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I was a sales rep for Wisdom of the Ancients several years ago. They produce SweetLeaf Stevia, which remains my personal favorite. It's organically grown in Paraguay and is manufactured under strick guidelines to assure quality and effectiveness. It wasn't until I spent a day with the owner of the company that I learned of the medicinal value of Stevia. It's the dark Stevia concentrate that's used for medicinal purposes. Stevia Concentrate has antiseptic and pain-relieving qualities. It's helpful for cuts and blemishes. But most of all, it helps regulate blood sugar levels and is very nourishing to the pancreas. The concentrate is dark and thick, much different than what you might use to sweeten your food and drinks.
