Scientific name: Momordica charantia L.
Usable part: fruits, leaves,
Uses:
Lack of insulin due not to be grown or grown less than necessary in pancreas creates diabetes – type 1 and the patients are taken under doctor’s care to inject extra insulin. Bitter melons carry natural insulin which cures diabetes – type 1 and lessen the dependency of medicinal insulin to be injected from outside.
Diabetes - type2 attacks when the cells are not sensitive to the insulin grown in the pancreas. The chemical elements charantin, alkaloid, and saponin in bitter melons make the cells sensitive to the insulin and their p-insulin does the same as the insulin produced by the pancreas. As a result the glucose level in the blood is easily controlled and diabetes - type2 is protected.
The LDL and triglyceride in the blood when produced more than necessary cause arthrosclerosis which reduces the hollow space inside the blood vessels due to the formation of layers of fat and therefore many difficulties rise in the body. The unnecessary LDL may be deposited in the liver and also brings us many liver concerned diseases. Better melons control the LDL and triglyceride.
