Other common names: Balsam Pear, Bitter Cucumber, LaGua, Cerasee, Bitter Gourd, Bitter Squash, Karela, Leprosy Gourd, Momordica Bitter Melon is an important food and medicinal staple in tropical parts of the world. Perhaps more importantly, Bitter Melon has demonstrated great promise in recent studies for the treatment of diabetes and may have great potential in the treatment of other serious malignant diseases, including leukemia (although there is no definitive evidence to prove this last claim). Traditional herbalists have long used it as a male aphrodisiac, a treatment for certain malignancies and infections and even a remedy for bad breath. Extracts of Bitter Melon (often called Balsam Pear) may also be more effective than popular prescription drugs for destroying certain strains of herpes viruses. History: Bitter Melon is a fast-growing annual vine that is native to southern Asia and also cultivated in the tropical and subtropical climates of Africa, Asia and other warm-weather regions of the world, where it grows in savannas and bush. This fast-growing climber that was naturalized in the Americas, reaches a height of six feet and bears deeply lobed leaves, yellow flowers and orange-yellow fruit. The plant is grown as a crop in rich, well-drained soil in full sun in a minimum of about sixty degrees Fahrenheit. Although the seeds, leaves and vines of Bitter Melon have all been used in traditional herbal medicine throughout the world, the fruit, which resembles a cucumber with bumps, is the primary part of the plant used medicinally. Bitter Melon has been used in China as a vegetable and in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, and practitioners of Chinese medicine have used it for hundreds of years as a powerful treatment high blood sugar. Its actions were described as ''bitter in taste, non-toxic, expelling evil heat, relieving fatigue and illuminating'' in the famous Compendium of Materia Medica by Li Shizhen (1518-1593), one of the greatest physicians, pharmacologists and naturalists in China's history.

Other common names: He Shou Wu, Shou Wu Chih, Kashuu (Japan), Chinese Cornbind, Flowery Knotweed Fo-Ti Root is a soothing, tonic herb that has been used for centuries in China to rejuvenate the body, combat premature ageing and promote longevity. The herb is said to strengthen the liver, kidneys and reproductive systems. Traditional herbalists say it restores vitality, energy and fertility and possibly even reverses graying hair. History: Fo-Ti Root is a vigorously-growing, woody perennial vine that can reach from six to thirty feet in length. It is an ornamental, lush green climber that may grow in sun or shade, but will not tolerate high heat and needs protection from severe weather, and it thrives in rich, peaty, moist soil. The roots are said to grow as big as a football, and the plant produces a vine of ovate leaves and small, white or pink-tinted flowers in slender panicles that bloom in autumn and are followed by three-winged fruits. The Fo-Ti plant is a native of China, where it continues to be widely grown for its medicinal qualities, and it is also grown extensively in Taiwan and Japan (where it is used as a popular tonic herb and called Kashuu). It is one of the most widely praised herbs in Chinese herbal medicine, some claiming that it is second only to Ginseng in reputation and use. In China, Fo-Ti has a long history of reversing and preventing the effects of ageing as a bittersweet, astringent, slightly warming herb that was first recorded in an ''herbal'' written in 973 A.D., as a key remedy for the elderly. The Chinese common name for Fo-Ti is ''He-Shou-Wu,'' and its history is rich in legend. He Shou Wu (called ''the black-haired Mr. He'') supposedly was the name of a Tang Dynasty man, who, at fifty-eight years of age, had been unable to father a child. He was advised to take Fo-Ti Root and then not only fathered several children, but his hair turned from gray to black, and his body became more youthful. He lived to 160 years of age (still with black hair!), while his child lived to be 130. Fo-Ti Root was said to cure his infe  (less)
