Bitter superfood

Acharya Balkrishna, advocate of Ayurveda and natural remedies for health, recently posted on social media a striking observation regarding karela (bitter gourd).

- 

Karela said, Bitter gourd is a miraculous remedy for kidney stones. The magnesium and phosphorus in it prevent formation of stones, hence its consumption is highly beneficial."

This is a line that is consistent with the ageold wisdom of Ayurveda, which has known for sure that karela is a superfood that is blessed with amazing health benefits.

Although many are turned off by its bitterness, the sheer number of benefits of eating karela is far greater than its pungent taste.

Let's take a closer look at the benefits of this health powerhouse and how it can revolutionize your wellbeing.
