ABSTRACT
In this study, medicinal plants
which are traditionally used for treatment of diabetes mellitus in Manisa and
its environs have been investigated. A detailed market survey and
ethnobotanical enquiry was performed in the region. In all, 121 medicinal herb
dealers were interviewed together with the patients suffering from diabetes.
After questionnaire studies, plant specimens were collected from medicinal herb
markets known locally as ‘aktars’ or ‘baharatchi’, a total of 27 plant taxa
belonging to 15 families were identified to be used for the treatment of
diabetes. These taxa mostly belonged to the families Rosaceae (5 taxa),
Lamiaceae (3 taxa), Fabaceae (2 taxa) and Asteraceae (2 taxa). The most
important anti-diabetic plants are; Zizyphus jujube Mill. (jujube), Origanum onites L. (oregano), Ceracus
mahaleb L. (mahaleb) and Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek).
Attempts are being made to investigate their active compounds responsible for
the hypoglycemic activity.
