The World Diabetes Day
14-11-2025

A disease that has started to reside in almost every home has now become a lifestyle inheritance—something we receive because of the way we live. Awareness regarding food, exercise, and the medicines connected to this disease has become more vital nowadays. There are various combinations of medicines used in treating diabetes in the Ayurvedic way, and one among the important combinations is Nishamalaki. The concept of treating diabetes with herbs has been misled by the use of many single dravyas, resulting in side effects when taken without proper knowledge and guidance from an Ayurveda doctor. This combination of Nisha & Amalaki, though common, is effective yet needs proper guidance to be used like nectar.

A tree that thrives in tropical coastal environments, growing along sandy or rocky shores just above the high-tide line. Its fruits are mainly dispersed by water and are often found washed up on beaches. When the outer layer decays, the fruits become buoyant and drift with sea currents, aiding in their wide dispersal. Additionally, fruit bats also play a role in spreading the fruits.

A dravya available in plenty for its profuse seed dispersion, yet less explored. Kasamarda has long served as a good leafy vegetable and is also known as coffee senna, with its seeds traditionally used as a substitute for coffee. Such plants exemplify sustainable usage of resources from our surroundings instead of relying on species becoming scarce due to large-scale utilization.

It can be grown as a garden plant, cultivated for its beautiful flowering, profuse seedlings, and the way its attractive yellow blooms draw butterflies. Cassia occidentalis is valued in butterfly gardens as a food source for butterfly larvae, attracting the Common Emigrant, Mottled Emigrant, Plain Tiger (observed feeding on its nectar), and various Sulphur butterflies.

Planting it can invite large numbers of these butterflies, providing a crucial resource for their caterpillars. It is also a host plant for Catopsilia pomona (Lemon Emigrant) and Catopsilia pyranthe (Mottled Emigrant).

It is indeed interesting to notice this plant for its beautiful flowers, more-yielding coffee beans, its value as a leafy veggie (for us and for butterflies), and its wonderful medicinal potential.
