ANTIDIABETIC MEDICINAL PLANTS AND HERBAL TREATMENTS (HB 2024) Hardcover

Diabetes is a long-term health issue characterized by high blood sugar levels, which can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The number of people with diabetes has been steadily rising in recent decades. While synthetic medications are used to manage the condition, many traditional medicine systems have long employed medicinal plants and herbal remedies to prevent and treat diabetes and its complications. These natural sources are believed to have beneficial effects due to the presence of phytonutrients and phytoconstituents with protective or disease-preventing properties. In many developing countries, traditional healers often recommend herbal drugs for diabetes treatment, as synthetic drugs can be too expensive for many people.
