What are the medicinal values ​​of Moringa oleifera

In recent years, the Moringa tree has become a health plant that has attracted much attention, but many friends have not heard of this plant. So what is the Moringa tree? The Moringa tree mainly grows in India and Africa, so we are not very familiar with it. The Moringa tree contains high amounts of calcium, protein, low lipids and other nutrients, so it is popular among people. Next, we will introduce to you the medicinal value of Moringa tree.

1. Diabetes

In traditional Indian medicine, moringa seed oil is used to treat diabetes. Moringa leaves are used to treat high blood pressure and, in the West African region of Senegal, to treat diabetes. Siaka Goudiaby, a hospital administrator in Ziguinchor, Senegal, said he suffers from diabetes and has been drinking moringa leaf tea regularly every day for three years to control his sugar levels without relying on medication. E. Makknnen and others from Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia conducted experiments on rabbits and found that the water extract of Moringa leaves has a blood sugar-lowering effect and can lower blood sugar concentration within 3 hours. Although its effect is lower than that of the commonly used blood sugar-lowering drug glibenclamide, it has provided preliminary scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Moringa in treating diabetes. It can be seen that the application of the ingredients in Moringa leaves for treating diabetes has entered the stage of systematic purification and formulation. The 21st century is the century of biotechnology, and this is true.

2. Osteoporosis

From the test results, it can be concluded that Moringa contains extremely high plant calcium. Every 100g of dried Moringa leaf powder contains 1320mg of calcium. Only 75g can provide 1000mg of calcium required for men's daily needs, and 60g can provide 800mg of calcium required for women's daily needs. For the elderly, although their appetite is not large, eating a few spoonfuls of Moringa leaf powder every day is absolutely acceptable. As long as they insist on drinking it every day, they can avoid osteoporosis. What's more, Moringa products have many health care functions for maintaining good health. The Moringa tree also contains a high amount of leucine, which emphasizes that what is lost during weight loss is fat rather than muscle protein. High calcium is an important condition for a weight loss diet, so it can be seen that Moringa leaves are really an ideal material for weight loss meals.

3. Hypertension

Moringa leaves are high in potassium, which helps to counteract the high-sodium diet that Chinese people are accustomed to: a high-sodium diet can cause high blood pressure, while a high-potassium diet can prevent high blood pressure. Indians believe that moringa leaf juice has a calming effect on blood pressure and can be used to treat anxiety. In Haiti, Moringa leaves are also used to treat high blood pressure. In addition to being high in potassium, Moringa leaves do contain extraordinary ingredients that have the effect of lowering blood pressure. In 1992, Faizi et al. isolated five blood pressure-lowering ingredients from Moringa leaves: niazinin A, niazinin B, niazimicin, niazimicin A and niazimicin B. This is the first time that mineralized amino acid compounds have been found in plant materials. Subsequent studies have found that water extracts of the moringa tree can increase heart rate at low concentrations, while high concentrations can decrease heart rate and lower blood pressure.

The above is a brief introduction to the medicinal value of the Moringa tree. Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the efficacy of the Moringa tree. In summary, Moringa tree has very good therapeutic effects on the treatment of diabetes, osteoporosis and hypertension. Friends suffering from these diseases can try it. Finally, I sincerely wish my friends good health, good luck and a happy life!
