What Is the Insulin Plant?
The Insulin Plant (Costus igneus, also classified as Chamaecostus cuspidatus), known as Spiral Ginger or Step Ladder Plant, is a tropical plant from the Costaceae family that has gained immense popularity in India for its traditional use in folk medicine related to blood sugar management. The plant gets its common name from its traditional use — consuming 1-2 fresh leaves daily is a popular home remedy referenced in various folk medicine traditions. Originally from Central and South America, it is now widely cultivated across South India, especially in Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
