Phalsa (Grewia asiatica), an exotic bush plant native to the Indian subcontinent, has been used for its antidiabetic, antioxidant, antipyretic, analgesic, and antibacterial properties. In a study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and antioxidant activities of the stem bark of phalsa were evaluated in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.
In conclusion, the ethanol extract of barks from phalsa could potentially be used in managing diabetes and its other related complications.
