Lagerstroemia speciosa, commonly known as the Banaba tree, is a striking tropical flowering tree renowned for its vibrant purple or pink blooms. Often referred to as the Queen Crape Myrtle, this tree is celebrated for its grand size and distinctive crinkled flowers, resembling delicate crape paper. Native to Southeast Asia, India, and the Philippines, the Banaba tree is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions as an ornamental plant, providing excellent shade and enhancing garden aesthetics. The wood of the Banaba tree is highly valued for its quality, making it a sought-after timber in regions like Myanmar and Assam. Additionally, the tree's bark is traditionally used in various applications for its beneficial properties. Banaba leaves and dried fruits are commonly used to make herbal tea, known as Banaba Tea in the Philippines. This tea is traditionally consumed to support healthy blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and kidney function. Modern scientific research has identified the presence of tannins and corosolic acid in Banaba leaf extracts, which are known to promote glucose metabolism and exhibit glucose-lowering effects. Furthermore, studies suggest that regular consumption of Banaba leaf extracts may help maintain balanced cholesterol levels when taken in recommended dosages.
