• Traditionally supports healthy blood-sugar balance and digestion
• A classic bitter herb for metabolic support

Karela, also known as bitter melon, bitter gourd, or Momordica charantia, is a deeply bitter vegetable and herb widely used in Ayurveda and South Asian cooking. It is traditionally valued for supporting healthy blood-sugar metabolism, supporting the liver, and clearing excess Kapha and Pitta thanks to its bitter, cooling, cleansing nature. This product is a pure karela powder, with no other ingredients, from the trusted brand Baidyanath.

Karela Churna is traditionally used to support the body's natural sugar metabolism. Bitter melon is traditionally valued for supporting healthy blood-sugar balance, supporting the liver, and supporting overall metabolic function, which is why it is a classic herb in Ayurvedic blood-sugar support. Importantly, diabetes is a serious medical condition that needs proper diagnosis, regular monitoring, and treatment by a doctor; this is supportive, traditional care alongside, not instead of, medical management. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The traditional dose is about 1 to 3 grams once or twice a day with water, or as directed by your physician or Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:

• It is intensely bitter, so it is usually taken with water before meals.
• If you manage diabetes, keep monitoring your blood sugar and follow your doctor's plan.
• This is a 100g pack.

Karela is bitter and cooling, so it mainly pacifies aggravated Kapha and Pitta, the doshas Ayurveda links to sluggish metabolism (Kapha) and heat in the blood and liver (Pitta). Because it is bitter and cooling, those with high Vata or a cold, weak constitution should use it in moderation. This makes it well suited to Kapha-Pitta metabolic and liver patterns, used alongside a wholesome diet. A practitioner can confirm whether it suits you.

Traditionally, karela (bitter melon) is one of Ayurveda's most valued herbs for supporting healthy blood-sugar balance, which is its traditional basis. However, diabetes is a serious medical condition that requires proper diagnosis, regular monitoring, and treatment by a doctor. Karela Churna should be used only as supportive, traditional care alongside your prescribed treatment, never as a replacement, and because it may lower blood sugar, those on diabetes medication should monitor closely and consult their doctor to avoid it dropping too low. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Karela Churna is a strongly bitter herb, so a few cautions apply. Because it may lower blood sugar, those on diabetes medication should monitor their levels and consult their doctor to avoid hypoglycaemia. It is best avoided in pregnancy (bitter melon is traditionally not advised then) and used cautiously while breastfeeding. Those with high Vata, a cold constitution, on other medication, or managing a health condition should seek advice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
