Abstract
This study reports a literature review aimed to assess studies related to the efficacy of
various herbs in diabetes mellitus used in Bhutan. The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus
is rising and many of the diabetics frequently use herbal treatments along with
modern medical treatment for glycaemic control and improve their well-being. An
electronic database (Pub med) was searched for 2002-2014 period and 31 related
articles were assessed. Many studies-mostly animal trials- have been conducted in this
field. Among the herbs, we searched for Phyllantus emblica Linn., Curcuma longa
Linn., Berberies aristata Berberidaceae, Tribulus terristries Linn., and Thlaspi
arvense Linn. Their chemical compositions, ethno medical uses and anti diabetic
activities were summarized.
