Bitter melon juice is a common drink in Asia used for culinary and medicinal purposes. It resembles a cucumber and is believed to help improve digestion and treat dyspepsia.

Bitter melon juice is a drink that is created when the bitter melon fruit, which is also called bitter gourd, ripens and is squeezed. Bitter melon, whose Latin name is momordica charantia, closely resembles a cucumber, except that it has a highly wrinkled and textured surface, even more so than gherkins. The fruit comes from a vine that grows in tropical and subtropical regions.
The bitter melon fruit is quite common in Asia, where it is used for culinary and medicinal purposes. In some cases, bitter melon juice is used in traditional medicine to improve digestion and treat dyspepsia. Apart from being consumed as a juice for medicinal purposes, bitter melon is also consumed in the form of a tea or tablet. It is also sometimes sold as an extract in pill form.
Although bitter melon juice is commonly used in oriental medicine, it is important that people who are not fully familiar with oriental medicine consult a doctor before using bitter melon juice to treat any disorder. There have been some reports of negative effects experienced by people who have consumed bitter melon juice. It is also possible that the juice could cause problems for people who suffer from ulcers and people who regularly experience heartburn. It is believed that bitter melon juice may worsen the problems experienced by these people. When used appropriately, under the guidance of a person well-versed in the traditions of Eastern medicine, bitter melon is unlikely to cause disease or suffering.
Some reports indicate that some parts of the bitter melon may not be safe to eat. For example, there are reports that the seeds can be toxic, especially to children. Also, there are reports that pregnant women should not eat the fruit of bitter melon. Before consuming bitter melon in any form, it is important to ensure that it is safe to consume by the people for whom it is being prepared.
There has been some recent research indicating that bitter melon juice may be beneficial for people suffering from diabetes. However, it is important that diabetics only use bitter melon juice under the instructions of a doctor. It is not, unless expressly directed by an expert physician, to be used as a replacement treatment for conventional diabetes treatments.
