Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder requiring pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. Averrhoa bilimbi L. (bilimbi) and Ocimum basilicum (lemon basil) leaves contain bioactive compounds with hypoglycemic properties. Although these plants are commonly used individually, no prior research has combined them for diabetes management. Objective: The study aimed to assess whether combining bilimbi and lemon basil leaf decoctions leads to a greater reduction in fasting blood glucose levels than using either herb alone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
