Introduction: Currently, there is a growing demand and 
interest in medicines of natural origin in our country 
and abroad, especially medicines obtained on the basis 
of medicinal plants. The terms phytopreparation, 
phytobar, or phytotherapy are accepted by the general 
public. The variety of phytopreparations and various 
teas sold in pharmacies is also increasing. Along with 
the development of the phytocosm, the requirements 
for it are also increasing, increasing the quality and 
competitiveness of products. Effective clinical trials of 
new plant-based molecules and a reduction in the 
proportion of chemotherapeutic agents are becoming 
a requirement of the times. It should be noted that 
phytopreparations cannot replace treatment with full-
fledged medications, but with their help, it is possible 
to strengthen health and normalize the patient's 
general condition. 

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disease 
characterized by impaired glucose tolerance. It is 

among the top ten fatal diseases [1]. The pancreas 
produces a sufficient amount of the hormone insulin, 
but the impaired sensitivity of tissues to glucose leads 
to the inability to break down sugar. To achieve normal 
glucose levels, sugar-lowering medications, special 
diets, and physical exercises are used. Medicinal plants 
also participate in reducing blood glucose levels in type 
2 diabetes mellitus, and additionally introduce vitamins 
into the body and strengthen the immune system [2]. 

Purpose of the work. Study of the importance of 
medicinal plants in the treatment of diabetes mellitus 
and the properties of some medicinal plants 
recommended for use. 

METHODS 

Raw materials used to normalize blood and urine sugar 
levels, i.e., plants that exhibit medicinal properties due 
to natural compounds similar to insulin in their 
composition, such as blue cornflower, clover,

blueberry, and andiz, were analytically studied. By 
regularly using the above-mentioned medicinal plants, 
it is possible to reduce the dose of sugar-lowering drugs 
and even replace them. It has properties of natural 
removal of excess glucose from the body, prevention of 
diabetic complications such as damage to eyes, liver, 
kidneys, blood vessels, skin, restoration of pancreatic 
function, strengthening general health, increasing 
immunity, improving psychological state, normalizing 
sleep [3]. 

RESULTS 

When collecting medicinal plants from natural areas, it 
is preferable to collect them from representatives 
growing in ecologically clean areas, such as mountains, 
forests, riverbanks, plains, and similar areas where 
human intervention is minimal. The use of roadsides, 
industrial zones, animal pastures, and raw materials of 
unguaranteed quality is not recommended. 

Plants used in type 2 diabetes. When treating diabetes, 
the type of plant is selected according to the set 
therapeutic objectives. Since plants that restore 
metabolism are directly related to the disruption of 
metabolic processes in tissues in type 2 diabetes 
mellitus, it is necessary to use plants that enhance 
metabolic processes during the disease. In this case, 
plants such as plantain, lemon grass, dandelion, black 
tea, and mingbarg are used. For general strengthening 
of the organism, wormwood, chicory, ginseng, hibiscus, 
fragrant ruta and others are used, while sugar-lowering 
agents include nettle root, meadow clover, andiz 
leaves, blueberry leaves, cufflinks, licorice root and 
others. Medicinal plants are used separately, as well as 
in combinations of several plants. In addition, a 
separate plant extract or a mixture of several plant 
extracts in certain proportions is used. In addition, a 
separate plant extract or a mixture of several plant 
extracts in certain proportions is used. Despite the 
seemingly safe nature of phytotherapy, in some cases, 
treatment with plants is strictly prohibited, and these 
include: a predisposition to allergies, severe diabetes, 
and its life-threatening complications - hypoglycemic, 
hyperglycemic coma, and other conditions. 

Medicinal plants that lower sugar levels. Sugar-
lowering plants are part of many preparations used for 
type 2 diabetes mellitus. These plants are rich in insulin-
like substances that regulate blood glucose 
concentration [4]. 

Centaurea (Centaurea cyanus L.) is an annual 
herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, reaching up 
to 1 m in height. Its product contains essential oils, 
vitamins and minerals, anthocyanins, coumarins - 
cycornine, as well as glycoside-centaurin and other 
substances [5]. It is recommended to drink a decoction 

made from the plant's root. 

Preparation method: crush the dried leaves and roots 
of the plant, place one tablespoon of raw material in an 
enameled dish, pour a glass of boiling water over the 
product, let it steep in a water bath for about 25 
minutes, cool the prepared decoction, strain through a 
cloth or fine sieve. The drink should be taken one 
tablespoon three times a day before meals. The course 
of treatment is 30 days. 

Clover (Trifolium) is an annual, biennial, and perennial 
herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family; its 
leaves contain carotene, phytoestrogens, flavonoids, 
tannins, proteins, fats, organic acids, numerous 
vitamins, and minerals. It has been scientifically proven 
that celery helps normalize glucose concentration in 
the body [6]. 

Preparation method: add one teaspoon of chopped 
clover leaves to one cup of cooled water, mix well, let 
steep for half an hour, then strain the drink and drink 2 
tablespoons each time before meals. The drinking 
period should last at least one month. 

Blueberry leaves. The fruits and leaves of common 
blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) contain a large 
number of components that can have a positive effect 
on the whole organism. These include amber, apple, 
acetic acid, beta-carotene, vitamins, and essential oils. 
In diabetes mellitus, the plant helps improve pancreatic 
function, saturate the body with vitamins, and restore 
normal glucose levels [7]. 

Preparation method: Add one tablespoon of crushed 
dried plant leaves to 500 ml of boiling water, let it steep 
in steam or water bath for at least half an hour, then 
remove the decoction from heat and let it steep well. 
Drink 50 ml 4-5 times a day for 30 days, regardless of 
meals. 

Anise (Jnula helenium L.) is a perennial herbaceous 
plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. The product 
consists of thick roots and rhizomes. To stimulate 
pancreatic function and reduce blood sugar levels in 
the body, patients with type 2 diabetes are prescribed 
decoctions made from andiz root [8]. 

Method of preparing the decoction: pour half a liter of 
boiling water over one tablespoon of peeled and 
chopped root vegetables, let it steam in a steam bath 
for about an hour, cool the prepared decoction, and 
strain through a fine sieve or cloth. The drink should be 
taken half a glass twice a day before meals. 

Method of preparing the tincture: 500 ml of alcohol or 
plain vodka should be mixed with 50 g of dry andiz root, 
the tincture is kept in a dark room at a cool 
temperature for at least 8-10 days. After preparation, it 
is filtered and stored in the refrigerator. The obtained

medication is taken 20 drops three times a day. 

To restore metabolic processes, people with diabetes 
are recommended to use medicinal plants that improve 
metabolism in the body. Such plants include plantain, 
lemon grass, and dandelion. 

Plants with general strengthening and vitamin content. 
Herbs containing vitamins help saturate the body with 
necessary vitamins and minerals, strengthen immunity, 
improve emotional state, and normalize the function of 
all internal organs and systems. These include dodder, 
brusnika, ginseng, eleutherococcus [9]. 

CONCLUSION 

Thus, our analytical studies show that medicinal plants 
used in the treatment and prevention of diabetes 
mellitus can be used in combination with full-blooded 
drugs, even as a substitute for them. Based on the 
above information, it can be concluded that plant 
materials, infusions, decoctions, and other forms of 
anti-diabetic agents are currently widely used in 
practice. In experiments, it has been proven that the 
therapeutic effectiveness of biologically active 
antidiabetic supplements depends on the base of plant-
based active substances. Therefore, the use of 
medicinal plant materials is becoming increasingly 
important.
