Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes is one of the world’s major diseases. As of 2015, it affects an estimated 415 million people worldwide. 46% of the people with diabetes are undiagnosed. The figure is expected to rise to 642 million people worldwide by 2040. This review discusses the Siddha methodology of antidiabetic herbals and their usage, phytochemical constituents and in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The present review aims to compile some medicinal plants such as sirukurinjan (Gymnemasylvestre), Vendhayam (Trigonella foenum graecum), Avarai (Cassia auriculata), kondrai (Cassia fistula), Naval (Eugenia jambolana), Vilvam (Aegle marmelos) having antidiabetic properties.
