Health Benefits

Prodigiosa has three major healing properties:  (1) it helps lower high blood sugar levels in insulin-resistant (adult-onset, type II) diabetics; (2) it has great effects on stimulating fat digestion in the gallbladder. This is because it improves bile evacuation from the gallbladder and bile synthesis in the liver. It has been credited with “flushing” or “dissolving” small gallstones out of the body because of the increased flow in bile; and (3) it improves stomach lining and stomach digestion by increasing the quality and quantity of hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach. This helps to digest foods that can take a long time, which can lead to acid indigestion. 
Prodigiosa is a bitter herb and is probably the reason it is so effective in digestion improvement.  In Mexico Prodigiosa has been known to be used in baths for acute arthritis (Moore, 1989). 
It can also be helpful to treat diarrhea and other digestive problems.
