Moringa is an extraordinary plant with incredible healing properties. Packed with nutrients, this tropical plant is nature’s multi-vitamin and is loaded with protein, vitamin A, potassium, calcium and vitamin C, amino acids and trace minerals, all of which are vital to our wellbeing.
BENEFITS OF MORINGA
Coined the miracle plant, moringa helps treat numerous health issues such as anemia, diabetes, UTIs, kidney stones and various other chronic diseases. Here are some other examples of common benefits:
Anti-inflammatory properties: moringa is composed of many antibacterial compounds, antioxidants and essential amino acids that enable this natural remedy to act in the same way as some anti-inflammatory drugs.
Aids with gut health: reducing inflammation is important because it’s associated with lowering the risk of many cancers and diseases and due to this, moringa is known to help with digestive health and stomach ulcers. In addition, moringa powder is filled with fiber, helping to regulate the digestive tract and relieve constipation. Moringa oil can be used to reduce diarrhea symptoms.
Promotes and protects skin health: moringa’s antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal compounds can help heal the skin, which is why the oil is often used to mend a wound or skin irritation. Moringa oil, a common ingredient in skincare products, is also used for dry skin since the oil hydrates and retains moisture. As well, the vitamin C in the oil increases collagen levels thereby reducing fine lines, wrinkles and aging skin.
Decelerates aging effects: In addition to promoting and protecting our skin’s health to reduce the effect of aging, moringa also helps to naturally balance hormones, which has also been linked to naturally reducing these outcomes.
Mood stabilizer – by supporting neurotransmitter functions, moringa aids in producing the hormone serotonin which is known for elevating moods.
Besides an overwhelming amount of health and healing benefits, moringa is also a unique plant for other reasons. Firstly, unlike many other plants, the entire plant is useful from the flowers to the roots, each part offering a variety of different benefits. Secondly, moringa seeds help purify water by adhering to toxins thus having the ability to make contaminated water safe. The plant also can grow in harsh environments, providing a source of nutrients to many undernourished populations around the world.
I love putting moringa powder in my smoothies but it can be found in capsule, oil, seed and tea form as well. Although it’s natural, taking moringa could have some side effects. Some potential side effects can include uterine contractions, lowered blood pressure and it can even interfere with fertility, so it’s important and check with your doctor before adding it to your diet if you have any concerns.
