Medicinal Significance
It's medicinal significance is now scientifically proven. Scientists extracted plant steroid compounds from W. coagulans berries. When tested in the lab, those compounds were found to increase insulin secretion by mouse pancreatic cells in a dish. Now for your little knowledge let me tell you, that human and mouse genomes bear approximately 95% similarity.
How to take them?
The berries of W. coagulans must be taken in a specific manner for maximum benefit. Now we are going to tell you how.
1.Soak about 10 berries in a half cup water overnight.
2. Next morning, strain that water and drink it on an empty stomach. You can eat those soaked berries for more benefits.

All this sounds easy enough, but how can something so crucial be easy? The berries are very bitter, and I mean really really bitter. That makes their consumption difficult on a regular basis. If you find them really bad, then you can just drink the strained water and throw away the berries. Buy the berries of W.Coagulans or "Paneer ke phool" here.
Results
The berries extract works on the beta cells of your pancreas and increases the amount of insulin in the body, which reduces the blood sugar level significantly.
It is very helpful in Type 2 Diabetes. We are sorry to inform, this doesn't work for Type 1 Diabetes as in that the beta cells of the pancreas stop working.
In the experiment mentioned earlier, the blood glucose levels were found to have dropped by about 40 percent due to increased production of insulin in the body. In humans the blood glucose level decreases upto 30 percent after one week of intake of the extract.
Side Effects
The extract of W. coagulans helps not only in controlling sugar, but also provides relief in
polyuria(excessive urination), weakness, burning and tingling sensation and joints pain .
It works with almost no negative side effects on the body. Withania coagulans or Rishyagandha is a herb that has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda and considered a boon for a body (just like a bitter gourd, though no one likes it).
If you see any other symptoms like irritation, diarrhea, vomit or any allergic reaction consult a doctor immediately. There is 1 person in 1000 who might be allergic to the herb.

Thanks for reading.
Note: My grandmother has suffered from diabetes for the last 22 years. She is the one from whom I got the idea of writing this article as she has been using the herb for the last 22 years and her diabetes is always controlled. From her I learnt one more thing, that whatever you do, you can't get rid of the disease. All you can do is to control the sugar levels of the body.
Thank you.
