Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Pasuchaca (Geranium dielsianum) is a herb native to the Andean regions of Peru and has a longstanding history in traditional Peruvian medicine for supporting blood sugar regulation, which is closely linked to pancreatic function. Traditional healers have used pasuchaca infusions and extracts to manage symptoms of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, under the belief that it helps lower blood glucose levels and supports the overall health of the pancreas. The plant’s use in this context is documented in ethnobotanical studies and Peruvian herbal compendiums. However, clinical evidence for these uses is limited; a few in vitro and animal studies suggest hypoglycemic effects, but robust, peer-reviewed human trials are lacking. Therefore, the justification for using pasuchaca to support the pancreas relies mainly on traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports, rather than modern scientific validation. Safety and efficacy have not been conclusively established through contemporary research, and the mechanism of action remains unclear. Individuals considering its use should do so with caution and consult with a healthcare professional, especially in the context of diabetes or other pancreatic disorders.
