Description
Summary:Controlling blood glucose levels is the main purpose of diabetes treatment because it can reduce health complications and death. The Diabetes Commission of the World Health Organization has made recommendations for further research on the use of herbs as a treatment for diabetes. Caesalpinia sappan L. (CS) is a medicinal plant that has been used traditionally for diabetes management. This review aims to provide the existing literature published during the period of 2000-2020 on the potency of CS heartwood as an anti-diabetic agent. Overall, some in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that CS heartwood extract can reduce blood glucose levels, however the numbers are still limited. Interestingly, this review provides the evidence that CS heartwood has its potential to be developed and used as an anti-diabetic agent in the future.
