The traditional practice of eating the flowers of Clitoria ternatea L. or drinking their infusion as herbal tea in some of the Asian countries is believed to promote a younger skin complexion and defend against skin aging. This study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of C. ternatea flower water extract.  The main compounds detected were assigned as anthocyanins derived from delphinidin, including polyacylated ternatins, and flavonol glycosides derived from quercetin and kaempferol. These results demonstrated the protective effects of C. ternatea flower extracts that contain polyacylated anthocyanins and flavonol glycosides as major constituents, against H₂ O₂ and UV-induced oxidative stress on skin cells, and may provide some explanation for the putative traditional and cosmetic uses of C. ternatea flower against skin aging.

It also improves postprandial glucose, insulin and antioxidant status when consumed with sucrose. The study was an excellent indicatory how such simple food-based (herbal) interventions may be used in our war against diabetes.

The value of mankind is inextricably linked with the wellbeing through natural resources

specially the  plants around  him. Medicinal  plants are  gift of  God, to  cure innite  number

of diseases in human beings and other living organism. These Plant materials have been

extensively used in the indigenous system of medicine which is mention in the Ayurveda

as one of the important herb. It is a good looking twing herb and very common garden

ower  plant  found  all  over  India  especially in southern India Aparajita’s botanical name

is Clitoria ternatea and belongs to Fabaceae (Pipilionaceae) family. C. ternatea is a garden

plant of India, which has been used the traditional and folkloric medicine in the various

diseases. It is scientically evaluated for anti-inammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, larvicidal,

insecticidal, antimicrobial, anxiolytic, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, tranquilizing

and sedative property. This paper reviews plant distribution, agronomic characteristics,

pharmacognostical description, ornamental  value, traditional properties  and uses, phyto-

contituents, pharmacological activity of buttery pea. Thus, the present study is an effort to

compile a detailed account and literature survey of Clitoria ternatea plant.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5903984/ – Studies suggest that compounds within butterfly pea flower tea have an inhibitory effect on alpha-amylase. What is alpha-amylase? Alpha-amylase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine (and also found in saliva) that breaks starch down into glucose. As a result, the tea could potentially slow the digestion of carbohydrate, thus lowering the glycemic response to a carbohydrate-rich meal. Resulting in a benefical impact on blood sugar levels & regulation.
