Jamun acts as a promising herb due to its proven hypoglycemic action and ability to prevent many adverse conditions due to it. Stigmasterol, an active phytoconstituent from Jamun has been credited for its antidiabetic potential. Seasonal fluctuations have impact on availability of active components in herbs which also influence its therapeutic efficacy. For getting yield with more potency, the harvesting should be done properly at accurate altitude, month and duration. Research objective is to find out changes in contents of medicinal plant Jamun leaves for antidiabetic potential. Plant sample used in different seasons, time and places, identification and analysis was performed. Macroscopy, microscopy, proximate phytochemistry, extraction yield and estimation of the yield of stigmasterol. Morphological, microscopical and extractive values appears fluctuations Maximum levels of ethanol extract with higher concentration of stigmasterol were obtained in August month.
