A medicinal shrub called Costus Igneus may have a miraculous treatment for diabetes. The leaf of this medicinal plant, which is a member of the Costaceae family, strengthens the beta cells in the pancreas, which helps the body produce more insulin. This is why it is known as the "Insulin Plant" in India. There is a strong belief that eating the leaves of this plant can control blood glucose levels and diabetics, according to earlier research. For antidiabetic activities, the experts have used various extracts from plant parts or specific phytochemicals.
