History and folklore
Stevia grows wild in the highlands of Paraguay and Brazil, where the Guarani people have long used its leaves, which they call ka'a he'ê, sweet herb, to sweeten drinks such as yerba mate. European botanists described it in the 1800s, and today it is grown around the world as a sugar alternative. Because it carries sweetness without sugar, modern witches use it in honey-jar style spells for love, friendship and smoothing over hard feelings.

Safety: Stevia leaf is a common sweetener and safe to handle. Some packaged stevia sweeteners also contain sugar alcohols such as xylitol, which is very toxic to dogs, so check the label and keep sweetener packets away from pets. People sensitive to ragweed or daisies may react to stevia.
