Curry leaves may help control diabetes

 

Researchers from the department of pharmacy at King's College London

claim to have found justification for alternative medicines.

Scientists have found that plants used in traditional Eastern

medicinal practices 'showed promising activity' against lung cancer

cells. Indian curry leaves were also found to contain substances

that inhibited the breakdown of starch and glucose production, which

could provide a treatment for diabetes sufferers. Experts have

highlighted the need for clinical trials into the remedies.
