Medications are sometimes necessary, but the ideal route if possible is through exercise, a healthy lifestyle and diet, and proper supplementation.

It will help you sleep soundly, which in turn will leave you energized to tackle the day. 3. Boosts Energy  A single serving of moringa has almost three times the amount of iron as spinach. This is especially important for vegetarians/vegans and those who suffer from low iron issues, as the body needs iron to enrich the blood and carry oxygen to our muscles, organs, and tissues. 4. Lowers Blood Sugar Levels A 2014 study published in Acta Histochemica reported that moringa seeds can lower blood sugar levels, which would provide therapeutic management (or even prevention) of diabetes . However, the study was done on lab rats and research is needed on humans before any recommendations can be made. 5. High in Fiber  Moringa is high in fiber, and as a result it can do a great job of moving food along your digestive system. Fiber is also a key component in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. 6. Can Lower Cholesterol  Too much cholesterol in the blood has been linked to heart disease. In traditional Thai medicine, moringa is used as a cardiotonic (a drug or herb used to improve how the heart contracts). Some plants have been known to reverse bad cholesterol and research is showing that moringa is among them. 7. Promotes Healthy, Beautiful Skin  The oil extracted from the seeds contains almost 30 antioxidants. The skin absorbs the oil well and can receive these nourishing antioxidants easily. The oil can be used as a moisturizer and antiseptic. SOURCE:www.doctorshealthpress.com advertisement FLOWERS   The flowers of moringa plant can be used in many ways.  Moringa flowers are used in the treatment of malnutrition, just like moringa leaves. You can use infusion made from flowers for colds. Moringa Flowers and root contain the antibioticpterygospermin, which is highly effective on choleraand at high concentration functions as a fungicide. Moringa Flowers are traditionally used as a tonic, diuretic, and abortifacient. Moringa Flowers are considered to beanthelminithic. Moringa flowers are used to treat inflammations, muscle diseases, tumors and enlargement of the spleen. Juice pressed from the Moringa flowers is said to alleviate sore throat and catarrh. An infusion of the flowers is used as eyewash and a decoction from the flowers has been used to treat hysteria.

Moringa seed pods are used in the Ayurvedic medical tradition as a specific cure for worms and parasites.   Seed pods are also crushed and applied topically to treat minor skin inflammations, warts and infections.   The oil contained in the seed pods can be used to reduce inflammation caused by arthritis, rheumatism and gout. Moringa seed pods contain complex chemical compounds with antibiotic and antioxidant properties that can boost the body’s own natural immune system. As a result, the seed pods are often recommended by Ayurvedic practitioners for patients with digestive upsets and abdominal tumors.  Moringa seed pod husks are a bountiful low-cost source of activated carbon, an important medical tool in the treatment of ingested poisons. Unlike other sources of activated carbon that can require extensive processing prior to use, moringa seed husks can be processed using single-step steam pyrolysis, a simple method that can be performed even in remote areas and without advanced technological tools.   The chemical compounds in moringa seed pods have also been scientifically proven to reduce swelling and inflammation, making them valuable treatments for arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.  Moringa seed pods are currently being used to purify water in a number of remote areas where technologically advanced methods of water purification are not practical. The oil contained in moringa seed pods contains a natural coagulant that interacts with impurities in the water and allows them to settle safely to the bottom, providing fresh drinking water in areas where dirt and other contaminants typically render water supplies unsafe for human consumption. Because moringa seed pods are completely nontoxic and safe for consumption themselves, the resulting water is safer for drinking and other personal uses. Additionally, crushed moringa seed pods can often be acquired at little or no cost from industrial sources that produce this seed pod presscake as a byproduct of moringa oil extraction, making this water treatment method a cost-effective and efficient use of limited resources in less developed parts of the world.
