Cassia javanica Linn is a small and medium sized tree with widely spreading horizontal branched and shows blossoms. Native to the tropical regions of Asia, Java Cassia is distributed naturally from India to Malaysia, Sumatra, Indonesia, southern China, and the Phillipines. This plant is used in several traditional medicines to cure various diseases. This plant has antidiabetic activity, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity. Despite harmful side effects, insulin and synthetic oral hypoglycemic agents are widely used in management of Diabetes mellitus. Frequently, herbal remedies are also preferred as they are safe for long-term use, easily accessible, and cost effective. There are many antidiabetic herbs recommended in traditional medicaments but still there is a worldwide quest for an ideal drug due to complex nature of the disease.
