→Curcuma neilgherrensis
Curcuma neilgherrensis Wight, in the dose of 400mg/kg, showed a mild reduction in blood glucose level at 3rd and 5th hour in normoglycemic mice; however, the observed decrease in blood glucose level was found to be statistically insignificant. Even though the drug failed to cease the hypoglycemia in the first hour after the glucose overload, it attenuated the same in later hours, but not in a significant manner.

The study reveals that C. neilgherrensis is having mild hypoglycemic potential and moderate antihyperglycemic effect. A clinical trial investigating the effects of combining C. neilgherrensis treatment with conventional therapy compared to the C. neilgherrensis alone showed that C. neilgherrensis significantly reduces the level of fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin, serum cholesterol, LDL and urine sugar 12,13.
