Our Story on Milagro de la Selva Tea
The Mayan Civilization left a stunning legacy. Most of the existing details of this highly advanced culture survived by being passed down from father to son through the centuries. It was in this way that ancient Mayan medical knowledge stayed alive and transcends into the present. Today, indigenous medicine men (shaman) continue as practitioners of this ancient knowledge. 
It was by sheer chance that Alberto Ruiz became aware of the existence of this knowledge. Having also trained as an agronomist, he began a disciplined, systematic study of the plants and herbs used medicinally by the Maya, which grow in the Guatemalan rain forest that surrounds him.
One of the facts that peaked his attention was that diabetes is an almost unknown disease among the indigenous people (the direct descendents of the Maya) who populate the area today. Alberto Ruiz, carried out an in-depth investigation of this phenomenon and discovered that the natives drank a tea made by combining two unique herbs as part of their daily source of liquid. He decided to research the obvious medicinal effects of these two native plants.
Eventually he discovered that these herbs, when properly processed, combine synergistically to affect both the pancreas and the liver, repairing and stimulating their functions. The concept of synergism asserts that the blending of specific components in a formula, which are perfectly compatible with one another, interact in a manner that enhances their combined function.
Pushing ahead with his research, Alberto Ruiz developed a proprietary processing technique for the herbs in his tea, which enhances and ensures their effectiveness. After carrying out appropriate studies at a University in Costa Rica, Milagro de la Selva™ obtained registration of the tea from the Guatemalan Department of Health and began to market the product. Further studies also established that the tea is non-toxic, hypoallergenic and is completely void of any known side effects. Ongoing studies have also shown that the tea helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and benefits vascular problems of the retina, a concurrent condition for many diabetics.
