In my book
"Amazing Health Benefits Of Moringa Plant" I did some research work
on some benefits of moringa plant from Health to Environmental and Social
values, as it is generally known in different parts of the world, Moringa has
countless benefits which can be derived from different parts of the plant;
seed, leaves, flower, bark, root and gum. As research works continues some of
these benefits are been revealed.
As many of these
benefits are still unknown to some people even though we have this plant at our
reach. In this post I deem it fit to write briefly about some of these benefits
from the health/medicinal perspective.
Around the world
every part of the Moringa tree has been used effectively
against varying
ailments. Some of the remedies are described here however, there
is no guarantee they
will work for every case!
The
Leaves
• Leaves rubbed
against the temple can relieve headaches.
• To stop bleeding
from a shallow cut, apply a poultice of fresh leaves.
• There is an
anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect when applied to
wounds or insect
bites.
• Extracts can be
used against bacterial or fungal skin complaints.
• Leaf tea treats
gastric ulcers and diarrhoea.
• Eating Moringa food
products is good for those suffering from malnutrition
due to the high
protein and fibre content.
The
Flowers
• Flower juice
improves the quality and flow of mothers’ milk when breast feeding.
• Flower juice is
useful for urinary problems as it encourages urination.
Pods
• If eaten raw, pods
act as a de-wormer and treat liver and spleen problems and pains of the
joints.
• Due to high protein
and fibre content they can play a useful part in treating malnutrition and
diarrhoea.
Seeds
• Used for their
antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties to treat arthritis,
rheumatism, gout,
cramp, sexually transmitted diseases and boils. The
seeds are roasted,
pounded, mixed with coconut oil and applied to the
problem area. Seed
oil can be used for the same ailments.
• Roasted seeds and
oil can encourage urination for some people who experience difficulty in
urinating.
• They can also be
used as a relaxant for epilepsy.
Roots,
Bark and Gum
The roots and the
bark have all of the properties described above but are
more concentrated.
Therefore much more care should be taken if using them as medicines.
