Benefits of Moringa

Moringa oleifera is a plant native to northern India that can also grow in other tropical and sub-tropical places, like Asia and Africa. In its native India and Nepal, it's known as "drumstick tree," "miracle tree," and "tree of life"; today it's also grown in Africa, Latin America, and Asia and also goes by the "horseradish tree." 

Folk medicine has used the leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots of this plant for centuries. This superfood has been used as a traditional remedy in phytomedicine and ayurvedic healing for thousands of years.

It's traditionally been used as a remedy for such conditions as:

• Diabetes

• Long-lasting inflammation 

• Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections

Moringa has many important vitamins and minerals. The leaves have 7 times more vitamin C than oranges and 15 times more potassium than bananas. It also has calcium, protein, iron, and amino acids, which help your body heal and build muscle. Moringa is packed with antioxidants, substances that can protect cells from damage and may boost your immune system.
