Abstract

Areca tea of Nivedan Nimpe is trending among diabetic group as preventive and curative diet. Areca Catechu is one of the Indian homoeopathic drugs. There is no authentic literature source to indicate the action of Areca against diabetes, so authors have investigated immediate action on blood sugar level among healthy individuals. Selection of volunteers was done on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Volunteers were randomly divided into three groups—study group had 25 volunteers, positive control group had 10 volunteers (Areca tea), and negative control group had 10 volunteers (without medicine). The differences between the three groups were not found to be significant after statistical analysis, using repeated measure ANOVA.
