Abstract:

The history of diabetes dates back to centuries but no substantial success has yet been achieved in the development of permanent cure. Allopathic medicinal system is expensive, provides only symptomatic relief, fails to revert the body to normal state and the repercussions of long term therapy include severe side effects. To overcome these pitfalls, Alternative systems have come into limelight. In this article twenty two medicinal plants used by tribal people of Madhya Pradesh are enlisted for further exploration.
