<p><em>Moringa oleifera</em>
commonly known as the “drumstick tree” is used in traditional medicine for a
wide range of ailments. Every part of the tree is used, either as food or as an
ingredient in herbal medicines. Moringa products are available in the form of
powders, seeds, and oils and are recognized for their wide range of health
benefits. It is an excellent source of vitamins&nbsp;A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (folate
and ascorbic acid) and minerals like Calcium, Potassium, Iron,
Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Zinc. High protein content in the leaves aid muscle
growth and improves bone strength. Moringa leaves rich in antioxidants help prevent many conditions such as dry skin,
wrinkles, premature aging, and neuro-degeneration. Consumption of moringa boosts resilience
against bacterial infections of the gut, maintains blood glucose levels and
helps with Type 2 diabetes. Moringa has antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral
and antidepressant properties that are used in preserving food, purification of
water, skin infections and treatment of herpes. Moringa oil when applied
topically can fight fungal infections, hydrate skin, heal wounds, and skin
damage. It is also used in perfumes, and hair care products.</p>
