Natural Herbal Remedies For: Bitter Melon

Natural Herbal Remedies For: Bitter Melon

The gourd-like fruit has a long history as a treatment for diabetes. Bitter melon improves the body's ability to use blood sugar and improves glucose tolerances. You should not use the tincture for diabetes control, since this form does not lower blood-sugar levels. For people with diabetes, it is likely that long-term results will be better if bitter melon is combined with the herb gurmar (Gymnema sylvestre). If you are taking insulin or medication to reduce blood sugar, bitter melon might amplify the effect, and you may need to reduce your dose of medication. Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) Phyllis A. Balch
