Moringa
and Health Benefits
Moringa is a "miracle tree" because of nutritional, medicinal, and purifying
properties, not popular and highly undervalued in the west. It is a
"superfood" treasure with incredible potential to greatly improve
health and eliminate hunger. A food
plant that contains high amounts of protein, all eight essential amino acids, vitamins,
minerals, phytonutrients and other powerful disease-fighting antioxidants.
Moringa is native northern India but
now found throughout the tropics, and various climates.
Used to reduce swelling,
increase sex drive (as an aphrodisiac), prevent pregnancy, boost the immune system, and increase breast milk production. Moringa
is sometimes applied directly to the skin as a germ-killer or drying agent (astringent). Also used
topically for treating pockets of infection (abscesses), athlete’s foot,
dandruff, gum disease (gingivitis), snakebites, warts, and wounds.
Oil from moringa seeds is used in foods, perfume, and hair care products, and as a machine lubricant.
