Some of the names given to Costus Igneus Nak, also known by its biological name Chamaecostus cuspidatus, include Insulin plant, Step ladder, and Spiral flag. Costus igneus Nak is a member of the genus Costus and is a native of South and Central America. It belongs to the plant family Costaceae. The largest species in the family, Costus, which has approximately 150 species, is mostly found in tropical settings. Despite being an American native, this plant is abundant in Southern Indian gardens, where it is known as the "Insulin Plant." In India, Costus igeus, often known as the insulin plant, is a member of the Costaceae family. Consuming the leaves is said to help lower blood glucose levels, and diabetics who have done so report seeing a reduction in their blood sugar levels. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Costus igeus had any hypoglycemic effects on dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemia.
