ABSTRACT

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. The conventional management of diabetes involves lifestyle modifications, pharmacological interventions, and insulin therapy. However, herbal remedies have also gained attention as potential adjuvant therapies due to their anti-diabetic properties. Several herbs such as Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia ), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis)etc have demonstrated hypoglycemic effects by increasing insulin secretion and sensitivity, reducing glucose absorption in the intestine, and enhancing glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Other herbs such as Bilwa (Aegle marmelos), Jambu (Eugenia jambolana), and Daru haridra (Brieries aristata) possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may prevent diabetic complications. Despite the potential benefits of herbal remedies, the lack of standardization, quality control, and reliable clinical evidence limits their widespread use. Therefore, more rigorous clinical trials and standardized manufacturing protocols are required to establish the safety and efficacy of herbal therapies in the management of diabetes mellitus.
