Remedy Description

"Bitter melon increases insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas,

called beta cells. These beta cells are thought ot help regulate

blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of glucose, says

Nancy Welliver, ND, a naturopathic doctor and director of the

institute of Medical Herbalism in Calistoga, CA.



You can make the biter melon juice by running the fruit through a juicer

or by blending it with a little water until it is thin enough to drink.

Drink 2 oz of juice twice a day. It's available in the US at Asian

markets."
