About 80 % of people in developing countries rely on traditional herbal medicines based mainly on species of plants and animals. Studies have showed that regarding 800 plants have been used in native systems of medicine. The selected plant, Inula helianthus aquatica belonging to the family Asteraceae gave a detailed report on preliminary phytochemical, isolation of active constituents and pharmacological studies. The plant was selected for the work on the basis of its traditional use. Some related species have already proven for their anti diabetic activity. The Asteraceae family in general has anti-diabetic potential along with anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, anti- tumour, anti-epileptic, antihelminthic, anti-septic, anti-tussive, cardiotonic, diuretic, diaphoretic and analgesic properties. The phyto chemical studies, isolation, and spectral studies were carried out. In the present study the aqueous extract of leaves has proven anti-diabetic potential and helps in prevention and management of diabetes. The anti-diabetic work was done on alloxan induced diabetic rats, and the results obtained has proven the potential of anti diabetic properties in aqueous extract of Inula helianthus aquatica leaves.
