Abstract
Salacia reticulata Wight (Hypocrataceae) known as Ponkoranti, have been used for thousands of years for the treatment of diabetes. Traditionally, S. reticulata is used in the preparation of herbal teas for diabetes. It appears to greatly increase the number of insulin secreting beta cells in the pancreas, while returning blood sugar levels to near normal. It increases the activity of enzymes responsible for glucose uptake and utilization. Different species of Salacia have medicinal principles with a high pharmacological significance. Extracts of Salacia roots, stems, and leaves have been used in Asia for hundreds of years for this folkloric treatment of diabetes and other health problems.
