Gudmaar Plant (Gymnema Sylvestre) also known as Madhunashini Tree is a perennial woody climber native to the tropical forests of India. It is highly regarded in traditional Indian medicine, particularly Ayurveda, where its leaves have been used for centuries. The name "Gudmaar" itself translates to "sugar destroyer" in Hindi, referencing its unique property of temporarily suppressing the taste of sweetness when chewed. Beyond its historical uses, it is a resilient vine that can add a lush, green element to your garden or balcony. It's relatively low-maintenance and adapts well to the Indian climate.
