Yes, you may try the juice of Bitter Leaf. The juice is an ultimate remedy to detoxify the body toxins and has potent healing powers.

It stimulates and cleanses the Liver and improves digestion. Therefore, also known as “ Liver Herb”.

Consume a cup of Bitter Leaf juice daily, you may mix small quantity of water in it, as the leaf juice on its own is real bitter, usually not edible. This is an effective remedy to cure Stomach problems and Fever symptoms.
Dear Favor Chi

You may also chew the leaves.
The herb is known to reduce Sugar levels drastically, so if you are diabetic and are already taking alternative medicines, then you must be cautious while taking the juice.
As, it may lower the sugar levels below the normal.

Thanks Herbpathy for your vital information, please always give measurements as some people can take a cup to be 500ml, depending on how big their cup may be. A cup is normally about 250ml. Even at that, 250ml of Bitter leaf juice may be too much to take at a go. so I suggest 150ml in the morning before breakfast/meal and 100 in the evening before meal. And please food to follow immediately. Thanks.

Herbpathy
02 Jul 2019
Bitter leaf is an effective herb for Piles, but it is not the most effective one. First of, It is recommended to patients with High Blood pressure. You can try it for a week, monitor your blood pressure levels. Stop the use, if it lowers your blood pressure.
Instead, you can try RADISH, which is most effective for Piles. Take fresh radish, grate it and squeeze the juice. Drink half a glass or 40 ml of this juice daily for 3 days. Now skip it for 7 days. Again drink it for 3 days. Now, again skip it for 7 days and drink for 3 days after it. Repeat this for a month. This will surely treat your condition.
Also, avoid spicy and food, tea and coffee.

Dear Joe

Hepatitis B is a disease of the Liver, caused by Hepatitis B Virus. Bitter Leaf is known to detoxify the toxins of the body. The herb cleanses the Liver . However, to reduce the risk of Hepatitis B, we suggest you to consume Milk Thistle for 10 days. You may take it in the form of capsules, easily available in the market. Take one capsule per day. This herb tonifies the Liver. And is revered as a Liver Tonic.

Drink 2 tablespoons of Radish juice for about a week.

These herbs not only help to cure, but, also reduce the risk of Hepatitis B.

Dear Yeny 1. Alkalize the body- The most effective method is Baking Soda- Take 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda, juice of a lemon in a glass of water.
Drink it 4 times a day for a week.
Now, reduce that 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda to half. Take it for next 14 days.
In this course of 21 days, your body should become alkaline.
2. After 21 days, Drink Fennel ( Saunf ) tea twice a day. It stimulates the digestive system. Add 2 large tablespoons , 4-5 cardamom in 1 liter of water. Boil it every morning and drink daily for 21 days. 3. Starting now, Stop eating all carbs, bread, rice, junk food.
Eat only uncooked vegetables and fruits for next 7 days.
After 7 days, you may eat cooked food. But, No white bread, No flour,no rice, no pop, soda, sugar or any artificial sweeteners.
Let us know the result after every 1 week. God Bless..!!! Regards

Herbpathy
06 Aug 2019
Dear Bright Yes, you may use Bitter leaf to reduce weight. It is an effective herb for that. It speeds up metabolism thereby reducing the chances of constipation and increasing the usage of the stored fat. It thus helps in reducing weight. Drinking 10 ml of bitter leaf juice everyday in the morning is of great benefit. Also, for reducing weight, drink green tea daily.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily.
Eating 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight. Doing regular exercise is a must to reduce weight and maintain total fitness.

Dear Confi

Would you tell us, Why do you wish to detoxify your kids ? Detoxification is done to remove poison or toxins from the body. Your kids are too young for that. We suggest that you should not give them any herb. Herbs are to be used wisely and cautiously. Give them a healthy diet. Their body is yet to develop. Giving them any herb may hinder the process.
You should consult your family doctor regarding the matter.
As we say NO . You should not try any herb on the babies.

Dear Ben
Hepatitis B is the disease of Liver. There is no medication available to treat acute Hepatitis B. Acute Hepatitis is a short- term infection. To cure it, all you need to do is-- Take plenty of rest, drink loads of fluid to prevent dehydration, specially if you have been vomiting.
Treating it means, strengthening the Liver and immunity. Ganoderma is a herb which aids the liver function and boosts the immunity. Take Ganoderma capsule daily for a week.

Milk Thistle is another Herb for Liver. Take one Milk Thistle capsule daily for 15 days.

Radish juice should be taken daily in the morning for 5 days or you may try soup prepared by Radish leaves.

Dear Fem

As this is only the beginning and your sugar level is not much high. You may follow the regimen given below. Buy Tinctures of the following herbs from any Homeopathy Shop.
Tinospora Cordifolia (also known as Giloy ) 10 drops morning and evening in half glass of water.
Gymnea Sylvestre ( also known as Gurmar ) 10 drops before every major meal.
Monitor the Blood Sugar every day and as it reduces, reduce the dosage of Gymnea Sylvestre.

Besides taking herbal treatment, life style also matters to control any diseased state. Try to keep the given things in your mind
Always eat on time.
Avoid junk and fatty food.
Add more vegetables and fruits to your diet.
The most important thing is, regularly take brisk walks for at least 30 minutes daily.

Gymnema sylvestre is a Blood sugar regulatory herb that grows in the tropic. Google it and see if you can find it. You can get a tincture of it. Tinospora cordifolia is also a tropical herb that is good for bld sugar problems but more easy to get herbs like cinnamon, Mormodica charantia (Bitter melon), Raspberry leaf , Fenugreek seeds are also effective. All in tincture form, mix equal parts of each as in 100ml of each in a bottle and take 1 teaspoon 3 times daily before meal.

And if so, can the taking of bitter leaf juice help in any way, and by what method and what quantity. Or perhaps, if there are other recommendations, first, to detoxify my system of this long term sugar content consumption, and, second, what to do to overcome premature ejaculation, neglecting the psychological factors (fears, tension, short breath, guilt, etc).

Dear Jay Chicken Pox is a viral disease. Its cause is Virus. It is self- limiting. It will take its own course and then die. It is advised that no drug or medicine should be taken, as this will interfere the natural course of the virus. Moreover, it will not remove the virus, but will suppress it. This may worsen your condition. As , the disease will change its form and the location as well. Which will rise up in a severe form, affecting the more vital organ.
So, please let it be. Bitter Leaf is not the answer to your problem. Regards

Good day,
Please am prone to pile and a friend recommend bitter leaf juice to me. I started taking the juice every morning and noticed tremendous improvement in my system.
But I was later told by a friend that taking too much of the juice could lead to low blood pressure.
I will need clarification on this.
Thanks.
 
Herbpathy Research Team
12 Jan 2016
Dear Femi , Bitter Leaf is an effective Herb to cure Piles, but is not the most effective. The Herb is also known to lower the Blood Pressure, therefore, also recommended to patients with High Blood Pressure. So, your friend is right. You should not take it for a long period. Try for a week, monitor your blood pressure levels. Stop the use, if it lowers your BP.
The most effective cure for your condition is : RADISH. Take fresh Radish, grate it to squeeze the juice. Drink 40 ml or half a glass of this juice on an empty stomach for 3 days. Then, do not take it for a week. Now after skipping it for 7 days, again drink it for 3 days. Again skip it for a week. Again, take for 3 days. Repeat this course for a month. This will surely treat your condition . Eat a Banana daily or drink Cranberry juice daily. Note-- Do not drink alcohol. Avoid spicy food, oily food, coffee and tea. Get well soon........... Regards

Hey Kofi.
You may try the following, but make sure you consult with some specialist.
1. Have 1 Kutki capsule every day.
2. Have Carduus Marianus- Mother tincture. Have it 5 drops in half a glass of water once in a day. Keep a check on your sugar levels when you take this. Carduus Marianus otherwise is good for lowering sugar levels.
3. Have a cup of fresh radish juice every morning for 1 week only.
You may have these herbs for 15 days and see the results.

How can bitter leaf cure pile
 
Herbpathy Research Team
16 Feb 2016
Dear Nnolim chukwuka francis
Take Bitter Leaf juice twice a day. Squeeze the juice from fresh plant and consume two cups a day. Bitter Gourd leaves can also be used to treat piles. Take buttermilk and add one tablespoon of bitter gourd leaf extract to it. This method is more effective than Bitter Leaves.
The MOST effective cure for Piles is Radish. Take Radish juice for 3 days on an empty stomach. Dosage should be 40 ml per day. Skip for a week, then again take the juice for 3 days. Skip for 7 days and take for 3 days. This should cure your Piles. It is advised that you always consult your health care provider before taking any Herb.
For further queries, you may write back to us.

Savy

Dear Bill
Bitter leaf is known to prevent the Liver Damage. Not only this, it also protects the Liver from drug induced damage. The Herb can damage Liver, if taken for a prolonged period and high dosages. Bitter leaf juice may even cause Diarrhea or purges, if taken in excess, do not boil more than 5 leaves per cup. The idea that the leaves are boiled is because it is real bitter in taste and this makes it difficult to chew them as raw.

The best way is to squeeze the fresh leaves to get the juice. Drink a glass of juice twice a day. 30 to 40 ml would be good enough. Or alternatively you may chew 4 to 5 leaves raw. This would not taste good at all. But, if you can , this is the apt method .

Herbpathy
12 Apr 2016
Dear Folakemi For reducing weight, drink green tea daily, early morning.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily. Eating 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight. Have you heard of a fruit called Avocado. This is a great fruit, which helps in reducing weight. It will suppress your hunger, reduces the urge to eat and will help to shed off extra calories, that too without any side effect. Exercise is a must for you, if you really want a flat stomach.

Dear Rosemary
Since your daughter's headache is because of the head injury she has experienced. So, her remedy would be Natrum Sulphuricum 1m. This is a homeopathic medicine for a head injury and the after effects of a head injury. Give her one dose of this medicine. ONLY ONE DOSE. Do not ever repeat this medicine after that. Give one dose , it means- 4 pilules only once. Warning : she will vomit within 2 to 3 days of taking the medicine. This vomiting is her cure. Once she vomits, her problems will positively go away. Do not reapet the dose, even if she does not vomit. Do not. It is advised to consult your health care provider before trying any medications.

Please i want to know if i can take bitter leaf juice for ulcer. If yes what is the quantity i can take in a day. Meanwhile i'm taking moringa at the moment. Is it safe to take both at the same time? Thanks.
 
Kaamna

Yes, Bitter leaf juice cures Ulcers. For the first week, start from half glass juice and if it suits you gradually increase your quantity up to 1 full glass. Don't take it along with other herbs as two herbs can show synergistic or antagonistic effect. Therefore, to avoid such interferences take Bitter leaf juice alone.

Hi Blessing,
It is absolutely incorrect that Bitter Leaf damages Liver. Infact, its juice is an ultimate remedy to detoxify the body toxins and has potent healing powers. It stimulates and cleanses the Liver and improves digestion. Therefore, also known as “ Liver Herb”.
Thanks

Relax, It's okay. There is nothing serious, lot many children suffer from this, but it can be taken care of---- Have you heard of Corn Silk. Give your son, it's capsules. One everyday before going to bed, for 15to 20 days. Other very effective cure is Black Cardamom.
Take seed pods of 2 black cardamoms, add a little sugar, powder the mixture, give him this to eat/ lick every night before he goes to sleep in the night. Give him one walnut everyday before he sleeps. Consult your health care provider before giving him any medicine. These herbs should set him right. For any queries, you can always right us back.

If you boil it in water, then it will become a decoction. If you want the juice
you will have to take the fresh leaves, blend them, then squeeze the juice out of the blended leaves.
 
Herbpathy
06 Jul 2016
Sammy the best method is to make a tincture. HOW TO MAKA A TINCTURE ? Take Alcohol. Preferably Vodka-- should be 100 proof vodka. A lower proof is not that good and higher proofs may damage organs like Liver and Kidneys. (Note: Use a Glass jar or Clay pot to make Tincture.) Tincture of Dried herb: Add 200 gm of dried herb in One Liter of Alcohol .
Tincture of Powdered herb: Add 100 gm of powdered herb in ½ Liter of Alcohol. Seal the container. Place it in a cool, dark area. Shake it regularly for about 21 days. Strain it through a cotton cloth.
The strained alcohol is the tincture. It will have all the medicinal properties of the herb. It will be more concentrated and more potent than the herb itself.
If sealed properly, it will last for years. The older the tincture is, the more effective it is. Keep it away from pets or children, if you have any. For any queries you can always write us back.

Yes, Bitter leaf is used to treat Stomach problems, But it is not the supper her for this. If you take my advise, I would suggest you to have Indian Gooseberry and Aloe Vera juice daily in the Morning.
Second thing you should do is, Boil 2 big spoons of Fennel and drink that water whole day.
Also consume a few fresh leaves of Basil and Mint every morning.
Follow this protocol for 1 month, you will feel better.

Bitter leaf is known to prevent the Liver Damage. Not only this, it also protects the Liver from drug induced damage. The Herb can damage Liver, if taken for a prolonged period and high dosages. Bitter leaf juice may even cause Diarrhea or purges, if taken in excess, do not boil more than 5 leaves per cup. The idea that the leaves are boiled is because it is real bitter in taste and this makes it difficult to chew them as raw.

Maliya Hepatitis B is the disease of Liver. There is no medication available to treat acute Hepatitis B. Acute Hepatitis is a short- term infection. To cure it, all you need to do is-- Take plenty of rest, drink loads of fluid to prevent dehydration, specially if you have been vomiting. Treating it means, strengthening the Liver and immunity. Ganoderma is a herb which aids the liver function and boosts the immunity. Take Ganoderma capsule daily for a week. Milk Thistle is another Herb for Liver. Take one Milk Thistle capsule daily for 15 days. Radish juice should be taken daily in the morning for 5 days or you may try soup prepared by Radish leaves.

UNITED STATE DISPATCH NEWS!! ROOTS AND HERBS HAS BE FOUND AS THE CURE OF HIV/AIDS

with John Hurt’s menacing voice-over, still bring back a sense of crushing dread. The UK actually led the way with its HIV public health campaigns; it was considered so successful in raising awareness that other countries adopted similar adverts relying on shock and fear. The thing I am most struck by now, however, is how over-the-top they seem.

It’s now 30 years since HIV was discovered. During my training as a doctor in central London in the late 1990s, people were still dying of Aids. But since then, incredible pharmacological advances have been made in how the virus is treated and managed. Combination medications — termed ‘highly active antiviral therapy’ or Hart — have resulted in being able to maintain the infected person’s immune system and therefore prevent the opportunistic infections that resulted in the development of Aids and led to death. Despite working in the central of London with high-risk groups such as sex workers and drug addicts, I haven’t seen someone die of HIV for years. It’s now incredibly rare to die as a result of HIV/Aids in this country. The most recent statistics sh

you may try the blend. but lemme tell you, what ever herb you may try, Candida will only be cured temporary, as it only gets suppressed.

You can only raise the immunity of your body such that you are least affected by the virus whenever it comes back to its active state from the dormant. You should try immunity boosting herbs like Gojiberry, Basil, Vitamin C rich herbs, SHizandra

These herbs not only help to cure, but, also reduce the risk of Hepatitis B.
Once, your Liver is set right, you will not have problems passing stool. For the lump, you take one cup of ginger tea for a week.

Sammy... Bitter leaf juice helps to cur Hepatitis B. I will not say that it can cure it completely. Because, it is impossible to kill a virus. What this herb or any medicine will do is, it will bolster your Liver and you won't be affected by the virus anymore. The virus will become dormant. This is what a cure is called in case of a disease associated with a virus. ---Eat Milk Thistle for 10 days. You may take it in the form of capsules, easily available in the market. Take one capsule per day. This herb tones the Liver. ---Drink 2 tablespoons of Radish juice for about a week.

I am sharing what i was suggested to follow and it really cured me within a month..So, you may read this , i hope you find it of help to you. UTI is normally caused by a Bacteria /Yeast named Candida, which flourishes in an acidic environment. The two most important aspects of treatment of UTI are :
1.) To make your body alkaline.
2.) To increase your immunity. Here is a suggested course of action : 1.) Take half a teaspoon of Baking Powder in half a glass of water, thrice a day for 10 days. 2.) Eat alkaline food. 3.) Take Echinacea (given on the website) 4.) Take plenty of Cranberry and Blueberry. UTI is also manifestation of a disordered Liver. Take a course of Milk Thistle : 1 capsule a day, for 15 days. As a long term plan, you must eat Yogurt everyday.

If you are suffering from HIV, you will have to take herbs to boost your immunity.
The best herbs for this are- Echinacea and Golden seal. Buy the two from a herbal store or order them online and have one capasule of each,. everyday for a month.
Black Cumin is the herb for HIV
Take one teaspoon of this oil and add it to a spoon of honey. Mix it well and consume it every day for a month. Or you can simply buy the capsules and have one capsule every day for one to 2 months.
Also eat 500 mg of fresh Aloe Vera gel every day.

After a month you can get the hormone tests done again.

Greeting, I'm from Indonesia. Bitter leaf in my country is called "African leaf" :). I would like to share my personal experience in consuming bitter leaf, I'm cured from my hypertension and the color of my toes are back to normal color (not dark/black). Black color toes are sign of diabetes.
Please note, you should control your stress for the herb to work and you must drink at least 2 liter of water/day. Avoid drinking excessive coffee, tea or alcoholic drinks. Some people suffer swollen legs when consuming bitter leaf, this can be cured by adding a pinch of sea salt (not processed salt) not more than half a teaspoon per day.
Hope this information help :)

I just want to add that for those battling hep B or C, phyllantus nururi or amarus would cure it. Be steadfast in taking whether the fresh or dried herb. Boil and drink morning and night. 1st thing in the morning before meal. Mind you it is so bitter. It worked for me. In case you don't know what phyllantus Is, you can Google it. It is that plant you touch that sleeps. As soon as you touch it, it sleeps. Mind You, there are several species of phyllantus and they can be seen around you. Great plants/herbs to use is bitter leaves and scent leaves too. You can juice it and drink morning and night. Thank you.

My first ALS symptom appeared in 2011. 4 years ago I learnt about ALS/MND successful chinese medicine from Rich Herbs Foundation (ww w. richherbsfoundation.c om), the treatment made a tremendous difference for me.

I feel cured from the disease!

Hi NKechi,
Fibroids is treatable. Bitter leaf is not the exact cure for your problem. Go through the following for cure:
1. Ashoka tonic for one month. It will help in strengthening the uterus.
2. Dong Quai in powdered form is useful for treating blocked fallopian tubes. Boil half teaspoonful of Dong Quai powdered root in one cup of water. Simmer it for 10 minutes. Drink it thrice daily. Or You can take Dong Quai capsules for one month.
3. Striped cucumber or Shivlingi seeds powder is an excellent cure for blocked fallopian tube. Take 1 teaspoon of Shivlingi seed powder with warm water on empty stomach. Take it empty stomach evry morning for 2-3 months. This remedy will help you to conceive. Hope you get well soon.

Hello Judy,
You can have Tuberculinum 10 M, 1 dose. It is homeopathic medicine. Take it only on the recommendation of a homeopath. It is very good medicine for cough. It expels the phlegm out. But homeopathic medicines are to be given on the basis of the mental and physical state too. DO NOT TAKE IT BEFORE CONSULTING A HOMEOPATH. Also, get yourself checked for cough if it is chronic.

Hello Bola You can try Psoralea oil. It is a very potent oil, and you have to dilute it before using it. You can dilute it with Sesame oil. Dilute it ten times and then apply on the forearm as a tester. Expose it to sunlight for 15 minutes. Dilute it more if you experience blisters. After dilution, apply further drop by drop if it suits you.
You can use coconut oil too for dilution. Well, I read this information on the Psoriasis page on this website. Just check there for more. Hope you get fine soon! Take care
