Moringa is a small tree that grows in India, Pakistan, and Nepal.
It has been used for centuries to treat ailments such as heart disease, anemia, arthritis, liver disease, skin, and digestive disorders among other illnesses. It is known to be a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent and is also highly nutritious.
It is available in several forms: a leaf powder supplement, pods, roots, flowers, seeds, bark and you can also eat the fruit as well.
Nutritionally, it is high in vitamins A, C, and E. It also contains high amounts of calcium, potassium, amino acids, and protein. Particularly great for skin, moringa fights free radicals because of the high concentration of antioxidants.
As moringa fights inflammation, it helps to stave off diabetes, respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and obesity, as well as supports overall brain health.
In fact, patients who have Alzheimer’s disease have shown positive results after taking moringa. Because it helps to stabilize serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, it can help with depression and psychosis, too!
