Abstract
Churu-5 is used for the treatment of diabetes in traditional medicine. It is composed of
Phyllunthus emblicaLinn.Curcuma Longa Linn., Berberies aristata Berberidaceae, Thlaspi
arvense L. and Tribulus terristries L. We conducted a pilot study to investigate the efficacy of
herbal formula, Churu-5, in treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Thirty patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus received 3 tablets of Churu-5 three times daily for 28 days. The primary
outcome was change in glycaemic control as evidenced by fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 2
hours postprandial blood glucose (PPBG). Other measures included body mass index, waist
circumference, body weight and diabetic symptoms such as polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia and
fatigue. In the result some significant difference were observed.Therefore the present pilot-study
shows that the traditional medicine Churu-5 tablet has improved PPBG level and it can be used
for reducing diabetic symptoms in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. More over people with
wind dominant and phlegm dominant constitution are more likely to be susceptible to diabetes.
