The plant of the species Caesalpinia volkensii has diverse traditional use. This review aims at providing an overview of the plants traditional utility and scientific potential in managing both infectious and lifestyle diseases. It focuses on the plants hypoglycaemic activity, anti-malarial, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflamatory activity. The review also looks at the antimicrobial property of the plant, phytochemical analysis and safety

The aim of this study was to know the hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activities of water extract of bungur (Lagerstroemia speciosa [L.] Pers.) leaves in alloxan-induced diabetic rat. Phytochemical studies was conducted to determinate the tannin-contents of the water extract (WE). Male Wistar rats (150- 180 9 BW) were used in this study. The rats were divided into six groups: nonnal control; diabetic control; glibenclamide; WE 0.1 g/200 9 BW; WE 0.2 g/200 9 BW; and WE 0.5 g/200 9 BW. Dried leaves of bungur extracted with boiling water (50 g/L) for 30 minutes. The extract administered orally. Fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol were determined at 0, 2, 4, 6 hours after treatment. Total phenol, ellagitannin, gallotannin, and condensed-tannin were determined from the WE. The results showed that WE exhibited hypoglycaemic activity at doses 0.2 g/200 9 BW and 0.5 g/200 9 BW. The last dose showed similar hypoglycaemic activity compared with glibenclamide. All doses showed the hypolipidaemic activity higher than glibenclamide. Phytochemical studies showed that the WE containing total phenol 0.025%; ellagitannin 0.011%; gallotannin 0.0199%; and condensed-tannin 0.0167%.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. Functional food, such as kombucha tea, is widely used as complementary treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Kombucha tea is made through fermentation process of green or black tea using a microbial kombucha consortium (Acetobacter xylinum and several types of yeast). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fermentation time of kombucha tea on its hypoglycaemic activity in rats. The green tea (Camellia sinensis) was fermented with kombucha consortium for 8, 14, and 21 days. Evaluation of hypoglycaemic activity was conducted using glucose tolerance test method. First, fasting blood glucose levels in rats were measured after 16 hours fasting.  Hyperglycaemic condition was induced by administering glucose 2 g/0.2 kg body weight. Blood glucose levels were measured again after 30 minutes. Subsequently, 5.5 ml of kombucha tea in various fermentation time was orally administered. Blood glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after kombucha tea administration. The results revealed the average reduction of blood glucose were 18.16%, 33.64%, and 19.88% by kombucha tea fermented for 8, 14, and 21 days, respectively. In conclusion, kombucha tea fermented for 14 days is potential to be developed as a hypoglycaemic agent. Keywords: fermentation time, glucose level, hypoglycaemia, kombucha tea
