This project aims to develop a scientifically validated herbal formulation for the prevention and management of diabetes using locally available medicinal plants. The initiative seeks to integrate traditional medicinal knowledge with modern scientific methodologies, including pharmacognostic evaluation, phytochemical analysis, and pharmacological screening.
Systematic identification and standardization of selected plant materials will be undertaken to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy. Bioactive compounds will be analyzed to understand their mechanisms in regulating blood glucose levels and improving metabolic functions.
The study also emphasizes formulation development, dosage optimization, and preliminary safety assessment to create a reliable and affordable herbal alternative for diabetes care. In addition to therapeutic development, the project promotes sustainable harvesting and responsible utilization of local plant resources, thereby supporting biodiversity conservation and community engagement.
By bridging traditional wisdom and contemporary research practices, the project aspires to contribute to accessible healthcare solutions and strengthen evidence-based herbal medicine development.
