A study by researchers from the Federal University of Amapa in Brazil revealed that the subtropical plant Calophyllum brasiliense, also called Santa Maria, has potential use as a natural remedy against diabetes. This finding, which was published in The Brazilian Journal of Pharmacognosy, was based on the results of an in vivo experiment conducted in diabetic rats.
Results of the study showed that rats treated with Santa Maria extracts experienced significant improvements in diabetes, as exhibited by reductions in different diabetes-associated parameters.
