Medicinal Uses :

• Moringa's primary medicinal uses are related to problems arising from malnutrition. It has a tonic effect on the gastric system and can cure diarrhea. Thanks to its high vitamin A content it is a great immune system booster and can also alleviate problems affecting the eyes, such as night blindness and xerophthalmia, a condition characterized by dryness and thickening of the conjunctiva which can damage the cornea and lead to blindness.
• Moringa is not able to cure cases of severe malnutrition once it has reached a stage that includes grave physiological abnormalities (eg. infections, impaired liver and intestinal function, imbalance of electrolytes and related problems) because at this stage the body can no longer process iron, protein and fat. However, Moringa is the best plant available to prevent such severe cases of malnutrition in the first place and to correct mild and moderate ones.
• Moringa has also been shown to reduce blood sugar levels and thus helps in controlling diabetes, as well as reducing blood pressure. It is said to be useful in the treatment of respiratory problems, tuberculosis and malaria.
• The raw seed pods act on the liver and are used as an anthelminthic (de-worming agent).
• The oil of the seeds contains antibiotic and anti-inflammatory compounds that are effective in the treatment of bacterial and fungal skin conditions. The seed oil is also applied to aching joints and thought to be effective as a topical application for arthritic or rheumatic aches and pains.
• Recent research has also indicated that Moringa may be effect in the treatment of certain kinds of cancer, in particular, skin cancer. Traditional healers have long used Moringa for this purpose, but more studies are needed to evaluate traditional uses with regards to cancer treatments. According to traditional healers Moringa is also an excellent cancer prevention food.
• It is not difficult to add Moringa to the diet and almost everybody could benefit from this healing food. However, its great gifts would be most needed and appreciated in developing countries where it could truly be of great life-sustaining service. Here Moringa should be planted in every aivailable patch of public land so it can be accessible to all.
