Abstract : One of the most severe endocrine metabolic diseases is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a clinical disease distinguished by a deficit in the production of insulin or resistance to the action of insulin. It caused remarkable mortality due to its difficulties. While used since ancient times for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, medicinal and aromatic plants have been recommended as rich yet unexploited promising sources of antidiabetic drugs. Natural herbs for the treatment of diabetes focus on lowering the level of blood sugar and reducing the adverse effects of the disease. Globally, diabetes is an increasing health concern which is now emerging as an epidemic. About 700-800 plants are exhibiting anti-diabetic activity that has been studied. Consequently, there is great potential for the exploration of natural products with anti-diabetic properties. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to provide an outline of certain medicinal and aromatic plants with their bioactive phytoconstituents and mechanism of action which have been scrutinized for their anti-diabetic activity.
