Stevia is a sweetener and a sugar substitute that is extracted from the leaves of the plant called Stevia rebaudiana.
It is an FDA-approved (Food and Drug Administration in the United States) sweetener that is popular among individuals who want to reduce their sugar intake.
This plant can be found in Brazil and Paraguay, where it is used to sweeten foods in a natural way. Huffington Post said that Stevia can replace sugar, particularly in baking. It is also touted as calorie-free as well.
Read and Digest reported that Stevia can allegedly decrease the urge of a smoker to inhale nicotine or consume any similar substances.
The source said: “According [to] a recent study that was made by German, Stevia can actually help you stop drinking and smoking because it blocks the craving signals for nicotine from the brain.”
If you want to quit your smoking habit and take the initiative to be healthier in your lifestyle, the source cited that you have to create a drink out of this plant.
You only needed to boil it until the mixture shows bubbles on the surface. After which, you have to let it cool down before taking it.
The source cited that you only needed to drink a few drops of the mixture or place it directly on your tongue through droplets. They said that you will lose the urge to consume nicotine.
How do you grow this plant on your own?
They said that you should “plant this herb in a good quality, loose, loamy, well-drained soil in 12-inch containers and keep it direct to the sunlight, then, water the soil when it becomes dry.”
It continued: “It needed [sic] an 18 inches free space because it grows about 1 to 3 feet in height.”
The soil should be a “compost and mulch to prevent it from drying during summer.”
What do you think about this? Do you think Stevia can really stop you from consuming nicotine and other similar substances?
