Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Recent years witnessed an upsurge in the use of nutraceuticals, nutritionals and naturals in therapeutics at global level. Conventional treatment options available as synthetic drugs does not meet properly the therapeutic needs for treating diabetes and the herbal remedies provide a better therapeutic hope with lesser side effects. Nutraceuticals are nonspecific biological therapies including botanicals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids, which are used to promote wellness, prevent malignant processes and control symptoms. Nutraceutical agents have multidimensional therapeutic benefits and have been claimed to have effective disease preventing, curative and health promotive virtues. Present review focuses on the plant kingdom claims as nutraceuticals for diabetes.
