Tratamiento de la diabetes
Mango leaves contain the compounds 3-beta-taraxerol and ethyl acetate extract. According to Moses Adeniji, a phytopathology consultant at the Centre for Herbal Treatment of Human Diseases in Orogun, Ibadan, these compounds can work synergistically with insulin in the body to stimulate glycogen synthesis. These compounds, along with the tannins in the leaves, can effectively treat diabetes in its early stages. Mango leaves may also help treat diabetic angiopathy and retinopathy, which can damage blood vessels and lead to vision loss, respectively. A simple infusion prepared by soaking the leaves overnight and straining can alleviate diabetes symptoms and also treat hyperglycemia.
