By M. Naeem (Author) Medicinal Plants with Antidiabetic Properties: Applications and Opportunities is the first comprehensive

reference to present the state of current research as well as those developments that are impacting developments in the use of plants to

address diabetic conditions.

Presenting multiple perspectives on the plants, their identification, cultivation and application, this book presents the state of the art

with an eye toward the future.

Herbal drugs and their components with insignificant toxicity and limited or no side effects are valuable therapeutic alternatives in the

treatment of diabetes around the world and have been considered a fundamental source of potent antidiabetic drugs.
