Cancer belongs to the category of “mass in the abdomen” in Chinese medicine, mostly related to heat and toxicity, phlegm and stasis, etc. Hot bitter melon water has certain effect of clearing heat and detoxification, but its anti-cancer effect is not exact.
Bitter melon is a product of the same origin as medicine and food, bitter and cold in nature, with the efficacy of removing heat, clearing the eyes and detoxifying. It can be used for heat stroke and fever, toothache, diarrhea, dysentery and blood in stool. It can alleviate the symptoms of cancer patients with heat and toxicity to a certain extent, but it cannot cure them fundamentally.

Patients should consult the doctor in time if they have any discomfort symptoms, and receive regular treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
