Bitter Melon Nutrient Profile
Bitter melon has many historical and theoretical uses, ranging from an abortifacient to a hemorrhoid treatment. It also has a long history of use as a hypoglycemic agent. Its hypoglycemic effects have been explored to the greatest extent and have aided in our understanding of its pharmacology and mechanism of action, leading to several studies looking at bitter melon as a hypoglycemic agent in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Botanical Medicine for Women's Health
by: Jennifer Ito, ND
When I receive an advertisement for a conference claiming to feature the “world’s leading experts in complementary and alternative medicine,” the first thing I do is check to see how many NDs are on the speaker list. The same applies to books and journals, so when I read through the contributor list for Aviva Romm’s Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health, I was nearly giddy.
