Cerasse tea (bitter melon)

(bitter melon) is a popular West Indies and Central American folk remedy. It is utilised to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes mellitus. An animal study also found that it had a hypoglycaemic effect i.e. reduced blood sugar levels. Apart from using it to lower high blood pressure, it is used for many other health issues, ranging from liver problems, skin issues, arthritis, menstrual cramps to cleaning the blood.
