Pasuchaca (Geranium dielsianum) is a plant native to the Andean regions of Peru and has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine, especially for managing symptoms related to diabetes. The use of Pasuchaca to support the pancreatic function—specifically for the regulation of blood sugar—stems from ethnobotanical practices where it is commonly prepared as teas or infusions. The rationale behind its use is the belief that it helps lower blood glucose levels, which indirectly supports pancreatic health, particularly the endocrine function related to insulin production (primarily occurring in the pancreatic tail).
However, scientific studies evaluating Pasuchaca’s efficacy and mechanism of action are limited and generally preliminary. A few small-scale animal and in vitro studies suggest hypoglycemic effects, but there is insufficient robust clinical data to confirm its direct benefit to the pancreas or its tail/body specifically. Most references to Pasuchaca’s benefits are anecdotal or derived from traditional herbal compendia rather than peer-reviewed research. No established clinical trials demonstrate a direct therapeutic effect on the pancreas itself.
In summary, Pasuchaca’s use in supporting the pancreatic tail/body system is primarily rooted in traditional practice rather than scientific validation, with limited and low-quality evidence for efficacy.
