Bitter melon is used as a vegetable in India and other Asian countries and as an ingredient in some kinds of curries.
Bitter melon has been used to treat various stomach and intestinal disorders including: gastrointestinal (GI) problems, ulcers, colitis, constipation, and intestinal worms. It is also used in the treatment of a variety of health conditions such as diabetes, kidney stones, liver disease, problems related to menstruation, fever, psoriasis as supplemental treatment for people with HIV/AIDS. It should be noted that research in this area is preliminary and results are inconclusive. Some studies show that bitter melon fruit, fruit juice, or extract improves glucose tolerance, reduces blood sugar levels, and lowers HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control over time) in people with type 2 diabetes. However, these studies have been inconclusive. Topically, bitter melon is used for deep skin infections (abscesses) and wounds.
