ABSTRACT

For many years, people have employed medicinal plants as an alternative to modern medications. The Costaceae family includes Costus igneus, often known as the spiral flag or insulin plant, which is cultivated as a decorative plant. Since the pancreatic beta cells in the human body are strengthened by the leaf of this plant, it is commonly referred to as the "insulin plant" in India. This plant is a recent arrival from South and Central America in India. It is a perennial, erect, spreading plant that grows to a height of about two feet. It has spiral-shaped leaves and lovely flowers. The herb is becoming more popular as a medicine in the current decade. It has been applied to treat many disorders. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of Costus igneus as a remedy in this review. Keywords: Costus igneus , spreading plant, Insulin plant, ?–cells of pancreas
