     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      This invention relates generally to the field of Food and Agriculture products, and more specifically to a composition of matter comprising Herbs and Spices. Millions of people world wide are affected by diabetes mellitus. An estimated 20 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, and the number is growing at an alarming rate. It is a common disorder which necessitates a change in life style among those inflicted. Diabetes mellitus is caused by insufficient production of insulin and is characterized by increased sugar in blood and urine. The main symptoms of the disorder are excessive thirst, frequent urination and sweating. The invention of Good Living Tea has been the result of the inventor&#39;s own search for a drink that is healthy for diabetes people. The inventor is a diabetes II patient, and initially this tea was developed for her own use.  
      Ingredients used in the “Good living Tea” have been tested scientifically and proven to help people with diabetes. I formulated a drink that was both Favorable and soothing. I was surprised to find out how much this tea lowered my blood sugar level and boosted my energy. I made a few tea bags on a trial basis and distributed among family and friends for testing, and the feed back I received was very positive. So I decided to patent and market this product so that others can benefit from the use of it. It stem from a desire to help other people with diabetes more than the financial benefits.  
      There is no cure for diabetes. Good living Tea is not a cure for diabetes. Type I diabetes-intensified insulin therapy, which is designed to mimic the how of insulin in healthy humans. Type II diabetes uses oral hypoglycemic agents include sulfate drugs like diabenes, glucotrol, micronase, and orinase. These drugs seems to enhance insulin production and sensitivity of the body cells to insulin.  
     HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY  
      The components of this Tea have been used for many years in many Asian countries such as India.  
      Hundreds of research studies have been conducted world wide on the plant “bitter melon”, which is the main ingredients in the Good Living Tea. At least three parts of constituents found in all parts of bitter melon have clinically demonstrated hypoglycemic properties (blood sugar lowering), or other actions of potential benefit against diabetes mellitus.  
      The dried bitter melon leaves, FennuGreek, Cinnamon, Parsley leaves are medically proven to increase body&#39;s production of insulin.  
      The Cinnamon is for taste as well, since the other said ingredients do not contain a certain flavor. In research study, Cinnamon was found to be extremely effective in increasing the body&#39;s production of insulin. The dried bittermelon leaves lowers one&#39;s blood-sugar level. Pathimukam adds a light-reddish color to the Tea.
