Chamomile, also known as manzanilla, has been used for years as a medicinal cure-all to treat a variety of medical problems including stress, colds, and menstrual cramps. Scientists recently proposed that the herbal tea might also be beneficial for fighting diabetes.
Researchers fed chamomile extract to a group of diabetic rats for 21 days and compared the results to a group of animals on a normal diet. The chamomile-supplemented animals showed a significant decrease in blood glucose levels compared with the controls. Chamomile extract was also found to inhibit ALR2 enzymes and sorbitol, which are associated with increased diabetic complications.
