The use of Bitter Melon has been widely recommended in Ayurveda for its multiple medicinal properties and helps in the effective treatment of numerous health disorders. Bitter Melon contains flavanoids and alkaloids which make the Pancreas produce more insulin and consequently assist in regulating blood sugar levels. Apart from its medicinal value, bitter melon is also a good source of vitamins A, B and C, iron, folic acid, phosphorous and calcium. The juice of the bitter gourd leaves also helps to prevent damage of the liver due to alcoholism and is also believed to provide relief in cases of respiratory troubles.

ReplyDeleteGymnema Sylvestre is known as 'Gurmar' in India and it literally means 'sugar destroyer'. Gymnema, when consumed, destroys the taste of sugar in the mouth for upto 2 hours. And that takes care of the sugar cravings experienced by Diabetics. So YES, Gymnema definitely helps.
