Benefits of AMPALAYA

Perhaps not too many people know that there are natural weapons against diseases that can be
grown right in the garden or farm. One such weapon is the wrinkly green vegetable with a
distinctive bitter taste called ampalaya. In terms of nutritional contents, the fruits and leaves of
the ampalaya are reportedly rich in minerals and vitamins, notably iron, calcium, phosphorus and
Vitamin B.

Ampalaya is also used to treat sterility in women and it can supposedly alleviate liver
problems.Likewise, it is claimed that ampalaya has some antimicrobial activity and can help
infected wounds. And ampalaya has been considered as natures answer to diabetes becau Oral
administration of fruit juice or seed powder (of bitter melon) causes a reduction in fasting blood
glucose and improves glucose tolerance.

Ampalaya should be considered, at best, just an adjunct in the treatment of type 2 diabetes
mellitus that could possibly reduce the dose of antidiabetic drugs that responsive patients need. It
should not be regarded as a stand-alone treatment that can take the place of established
medicines. However, diabetics who wish to try ampalaya need not spend money on the tablet,
capsule or tea forms of the plant. They can cultivate the plant or buy it from the market and make
their own preparation.

Recently, laboratory tests suggest that compounds in ampalaya might be effective for treating
HIV infection. As most compounds isolated from bitter melon that impact HIV have either been
proteins or glycoproteins lectins, neither of which are well-absorbed, it is unlikely that oral
intake of ampalaya will slow HIV in infected people. It is possible oral ingestion of ampalaya
that could offset negative effects of anti-HIV drugs, if a test tube study can be shown to be
applicable to people. In one preliminary clinical trial, an enema form of ampalaya extract showed
some benefits in people infected with HIV.
And that theres benefits of Ampalaya that we can share to other people especially of sickness.
