Lagerstroemia Speciosa Or Banaba As Alternative Medicine To Diabetes

The leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa (Lythraceae), a Southeast Asian tree more commonly known as banaba, have been traditionally consumed in various forms by Philippinos for treatment of diabetes and kidney related diseases. In the 1990s, the popularity of this herbal medicine began to attract the attention of scientists worldwide. Since then, researchers have conducted numerous in vitro and in vivo studies that consistently confirmed the antidiabetic activity of banaba. Scientists have identified different components of banaba to be responsible for its activity. Using tumor cells as a cell model, corosolic acid was isolated from the methanol extract of banaba and shown to be an active compound. More recently, a different cell model and the focus on the water soluble fraction of the extract led to the discovery of other compounds. The ellagitannin Lagerstroemin was identified as an effective component of the banaba extract responsible for the activity. In a different approach, using 3T3-L1 adipocytes as a cell model and a glucose uptake assay as the functional screening method, Chen et al. showed that the banaba water extract exhibited an insulin-like glucose transport inducing activity. Coupling HPLC fractionation with a glucose uptake assay, gallotannins were identified in the banaba extract as components responsible for the activity, not corosolic acid. Penta-O-galloyl-glucopyranose (PGG) was identified as the most potent gallotannin. A comparison of published data with results obtained for PGG indicates that PGG has a significantly higher glucose transport stimulatory activity than Lagerstroemin. Chen et al. have also shown that PGG exhibits anti-adipogenic properties in addition to stimulating the glucose uptake in adipocytes. The combination of glucose uptake and anti-adipogenesis activity is not found in the current insulin mimetic drugs and may indicate a great therapeutic potential of PGG.

Lagerstroemia speciosa also called banaba in the Tagalog language of the Philippines, is a tropical plant found in many parts of Southeast Asia including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and southern China. It is a tree that can grow as tall as 20 m. Despite growing in several countries, only in the Philippines are the dried and shredded banaba leaves known to be used as a treatment for diabetes and kidney disease. It is not clear if banaba plants grown in different countries are equally effective in the treatment of diabetes.

Home Remedies For Gallstones

No comments
Gone are those days when surgical procedures were the only way to eliminate gallstones. Thankfully, today we have a whole slew of non-surgical methods and a good deal of traditional home remedies to flush out bile stones from the gallbladder. From resorting to high-fiber diet to improving your water intake to losing weight, there are a number of home cures to help you tackle painful gallstones. Below mentioned are some proven home remedies for gallstones. Try one of these cures next time you are hit by an excruciating pain on your lower quadrant for quick relief.


Gallstones Home Remedies

Consuming about four tablespoons of lemon juice every morning on empty stomach for seven days can eliminate gallstones from your gallbladder. Follow it up with two glasses of water to flush out the bile stones entirely.

Drinking a blend of fresh juices like beetroot, carrot, and cucumber twice every day will help egest gallstones from the duct. Alternatively, you might try drinking a potion made from 30 ml of unprocessed sunflower or olive oils. Drink this concoction first thing in the morning and follow it up with 120 ml of lemon or grapefruit juice. Doing so will help dissolve the gallstones over a period and is deemed as one the best home remedies for treating gallstones.

Pear is believed to do wonders for gallstones and is extremely good for your gallbladder health. Eating pears in abundance will help soften the bile stones and cleanse the gallbladder.

Herbal tea extracts made from aromatic plant like St. John's Wort can help melt gallstones, flush out kidney stones, and flush out toxic substances from the body. Just brew four to five leaves of these herbal plant in boiling water until the quantity has reduced to half, strain the decoction and drink it several times in a day to eradicate gallstones.

Wine, of all things, can help thwart the risk of gallstone attacks largely. Consuming half a glass of beer or wine can cut down the number of attacks. However, stay away from going overboard with your drink.
