Chakkarakolli

Description : Chakkarakolli, scientifically known as Gymnema sylvestre, is a perennial woody vine belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Native to the tropical forests of India, Chakkarakolli is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to regulate blood sugar levels. The plant features opposite leaves with prominent veins and small, yellowish flowers that give way to woody, pod-like fruits. Chakkarakolli is commonly used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda to support diabetes management and promote overall health and wellness.

Suitable Climate Condition : Chakkarakolli thrives in full sunlight to partial shade. Provide at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
