Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders worldwide, including in India. Traditional medicinal plants play a vital role in primary healthcare, particularly among rural and tribal populations in Maharashtra. This study provides an ethnopharmacological evaluation of medicinal plants used traditionally for diabetes management across various regions of Maharashtra, including Vidarbha, Marathwada, Konkan, Khandesh, and Western Maharashtra. Data from tribal healers, local practitioners, and literature were analyzed to identify commonly used plants, their phytochemicals, mechanisms of action, and scientific validation. The study highlights the therapeutic importance of species such as Gymnema sylvestre, Azadirachta indica, Syzygium cumini, Tinospora cordifolia, and Momordica charantia. Strong traditional use combined with pharmacological evidence suggests that many of these plants possess significant antidiabetic potential and deserve further scientific exploration.

Introduction
The Rising Tide of Diabetes and Ethnopharmacology in India
Diabetes mellitus represents a rapidly escalating health crisis in India, driven by a demographic and epidemiological transition. The country carries one of the largest global burdens of the disease, earning it the moniker "Diabetes Capital of the World."
Key Data on Diabetes Burden in India
- Prevalence: India's diabetes burden is staggering. As of 2019, an estimated 77 million individuals had diabetes, a number projected to surge to over 134 million by 2045 (Source: IDF). The overall prevalence of diabetes among adults in India (20-79 years) was approximately 10.5% in 2024.
- Undiagnosed Cases: A major concern is the high proportion of undiagnosed cases, with roughly 57% of individuals with diabetes remaining unaware of their condition, leading to delayed treatment and increased risk of complications.
- Urban vs. Rural Disparity: While traditionally seen as an affluent, urban illness, diabetes is increasingly affecting rural and poorer populations. However, studies still show a higher prevalence in urban centers due to faster lifestyle changes, including increased consumption of high-energy diets and decreased physical activity.
- Maharashtra Specifics: The state of Maharashtra itself contributes significantly to the national burden. One survey reported an adjusted prevalence of diabetes at 8.4% and pre-diabetes at 12.8% in the state's surveyed populations.
Ethnomedicine and the Search for Natural Remedies
The escalating challenge of diabetes underscores the urgent need for accessible, effective, and affordable management strategies. This is where the rich tradition of ethnomedicine and the field of ethnopharmacology become critical.
- The Tribal Link: In geographically and culturally diverse regions like Maharashtra, indigenous groups such as the Bhil, Pawara, Gond, Warli, and Korku tribes possess vast, undocumented knowledge of medicinal plants for treating various ailments, including "madhumeha" (diabetes).
- Scientific Rationale for Exploration:
- Basis for Modern Drugs: Many successful modern medications, like Metformin (derived from the French lilac, Galega officinalis), have their origins in traditional plant use, highlighting the potential for discovering new drug leads.
- Safety and Tolerability: Herbal remedies are often favored in traditional systems due to their perceived lower cost, widespread availability, and potentially fewer side effects compared to synthetic pharmaceuticals.
- Preservation of Knowledge: Modernization and changing lifestyles are causing the erosion of traditional knowledge, making documentation and scientific validation a time-sensitive priority.
- Promising Antidiabetic Plants in India: Numerous Indian medicinal plants have shown promising anti-hyperglycemic activity through scientific studies. These plants often exert their effects through various mechanisms, such as stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic $\beta$-cells, enhancing glucose uptake, or inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption. Examples include:
- Momordica charantia (Bitter Gourd)
- Gymnema sylvestre (Gurmar, or 'Sugar Destroyer')
- Syzygium cumini (Jamun/Java Plum)
- Azadirachta indica (Neem)
- Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek)
The study of medicinal plants used by the tribes of Maharashtra is thus a vital step toward scientifically validating this heritage and potentially offering new, culturally appropriate, and low-cost therapeutic options for diabetes management.
I can search for more specific information on the traditional medicinal plants used by the Bhil, Pawara, Gond, Warli, and Korku tribes in Maharashtra for diabetes.

5. DISCUSSION
The traditional medicinal knowledge documented across the tribal and rural communities of Maharashtra demonstrates a strong alignment with scientifically validated antidiabetic properties of various medicinal plants. Many of the plants widely used in these regions exhibit multiple pharmacological actions, including hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and β-cell regenerative effects. This multi-targetability suggests that traditional healers follow a holistic therapeutic approach, aiming not only to reduce blood glucose levels but also to address underlying pathophysiological factors associated with diabetes mellitus, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and pancreatic dysfunction.
The frequent use of plants like Gymnema sylvestre, Syzygium cumini, Momordica charantia, Tinospora cordifolia, and Azadirachta indica corresponds well with their documented bioactive compounds, including gymnemic acids, charantin, quercetin, berberine, and limonoids. These constituents have been previously reported to enhance insulin secretion, improve insulin sensitivity, inhibit carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes, and regenerate pancreatic β-cells, reinforcing the relevance of traditional therapeutic practices.
A notable aspect observed in this study is the variation in preparation methods, such as decoctions, fresh juices, powders, and pastes. These differences can significantly influence phytochemical availability and therapeutic outcomes. For instance, decoctions may extract higher levels of water-soluble compounds, whereas powdered forms may preserve heat-sensitive constituents. Understanding these variations is essential for standardizing traditional remedies and optimizing their clinical efficacy.
Overall, the findings highlight the rich ethnopharmacological heritage of Maharashtra and underscore the need for further pharmacological and clinical investigations. Standardization of preparation techniques, dosage patterns, and long-term safety studies will be crucial for integrating these traditional medicines into evidence-based diabetes management strategies.
6. CONCLUSION
The ethnopharmacological evaluation demonstrates that Maharashtra is endowed with a rich diversity of medicinal plants possessing significant antidiabetic potential. Several species traditionally used by tribal and rural healers show strong alignment with modern scientific evidence, confirming their relevance in diabetes management. These plants represent promising candidates for herbal drug formulations, phytopharmaceutical development, and nutraceutical products, owing to their validated pharmacological activities and bioactive constituents.
The findings also emphasize the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge systems, which continue to contribute valuable therapeutic insights. To facilitate wider clinical acceptance, future research must focus on standardization, safety profiling, and controlled clinical trials to ensure the efficacy and long-term safety of these medicinal plants. This integration of traditional wisdom with modern science can lead to the development of effective, accessible, and holistic antidiabetic therapies.
