Through recent researches it is proved that Bitter melon helps in controlling Diabetes, Psoriasis. The blood lowering action of the fresh juice of the unripe bitter melon has been confirmed in scientific studies in animals and humans.

The ripe fruit of bitter melon has been shown to exhibit some remarkable anticancer effects, especially leukemia.
