Bitter melon, scientifically known
as Momordica Charantia is known to be grown in tropical regions. Its origin is
traced from India, not until it was grown in China about 6 centuries ago. The fruit
can come in different appearances, meaning it has no definite shape but this is
dependent on the place grown. The fruit is however good for a verity of medical
conditions and widely known to be used in Chinese traditional medicines.
Bitter lemon has the ability to
help in treating diabetes according to studies. In this case, it has three
components which help in reducing the blood sugar level. The components are
steroidal saponins, known as charatin, insulin –like peptides and alkaloids. These
three components are the major components that help to fight diabetes.
Bitter melon has also been found
to fight against some deadly diseases such as HIV, measles and herpes. Studies have
shown that it also works against some cancerous cell growth on the breast and
the cervical.
The problem with this fruit is
that it is not good for couples who are trying to conceive. This is because it
can work against the sperm.
