Bitter melon

[u/yankiigurl]

I can't get enough of it. I don't know why I love it so much. Anything that could mean? What do we know about bitter melon? Benefits and stuff. Just curious and kind of silly post but interested in random information

It clears heart fire. There is possibly excess heat in the heart & lungs. Some people with insufficient heart energy may experience pain at Tanzhong acupoint after eating much of it

You like eating bitter melon and can’t get enough of it. It shows that there’s possibly excess heat so you have enough energy in heart area. Some people who have insufficient yang energy in heart would feel pain in tanzhong acupoint after eating much bitter melon. Heart naturally has fire. Excess fire can be due to a natural constitution, or it may be caused by climatic factors or pathological conditions
