Review on Crude Drug Used In Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Approximately 60% of people on the planet utilize traditional medicines made from medicinal plants. This review is on Indian herbal medications and plants, particularly those utilized in India, for the treatment of diabetes. Diabetes is a significant illness that affects people worldwide and from all walks of life. It is turning out to be a serious health issue in India, particularly in the cities. Herbal formulations are recommended because they have fewer side effects and are less expensive than other techniques to lessen the negative effects of diabetes and its secondary complications. A list of herbal medications used to treat diabetes as well as medicinal plants with demonstrated anti-diabetic properties and associated health benefits is compiled. Among them are Momordica charantia Ocimum, Eugenia jambolana, and Allium sativum, Phyllanthus amarus, Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Pterocarpus marsupium, Ocimum sanctum, and Trigonella foenum graecum. Free radical damage is one of the etiologic factors linked to the development of diabetes and its consequences, so an antidiabetic molecule with antioxidant characteristics would be more advantageous. Consequently, details regarding these medicinal plants' antioxidant benefits are also provided.
