Moringa Oleifera, A Natural Remedy For High Blood Pressure

Moringa Oleifera belongs to the family of palms whose members are widely distributed in Central and South America, and parts of Southeast Asia. It has been known locally as the Moringa palm, or Indian ear of palm. It is a large evergreen shrub with taproot and grows as tall as six feet. The leaves are needlelike, smooth, and white, with lavender-colored hairs. Moringa usually flowers in the spring. Be sure to see page for more about moringa products.

Moringa tends to thrive in dry, warm soil, which makes it an ideal plant for home gardens in hot, sunny weather. It is susceptible to being eaten by animals and birds, so it needs to be contained in its natural environment. Moringa contains significant amounts of vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, and several other vitamins. It is one of the best sources of vitamin A and vitamin C and may have more vitamin B complex than any other source.

Moringa may have several uses and treatments in traditional medicine. Indian Traditional doctors advise taking 5 ml of boiled henna (mehandi) powder mixed with dry mint leaves and ground glass of water on a daily basis to treat acute infections and stomach pain. According to legend, mixing pure milk (from the milk that comes from the breasts of virgin maidens) with a teaspoonful of ground radish seeds is highly effective in reducing menstrual cramps. In fact, some herbalists consider it to be a useful tonic for women suffering from hot flashes. In rural areas of India, the moringa tree is sometimes used in place of ghee (an Indian sweet) as a cooking agent in Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional form of medicine practiced in many parts of India.

Moringa oleifera has been shown to be very helpful in treating and preventing high blood pressure. Research conducted in the 1990s showed that a combination of this tree's dried flowers and its leaves had a positive effect in lowering blood pressure. This study was carried out on postmenopausal women who had previously failed to respond well to prescription medication. Moringa was added to the treatment after the researchers noticed a significant improvement in their previous results. The study found that the combination of dried flowers and leaves had reduced the levels of "bad" cholesterol, while increasing good cholesterol levels.

Moringa might also have some anti-inflammatory properties. In experiments with mice, scientists have found that the dried flowers of Moringa have anti-inflammatory properties. In order to confirm these results, laboratory studies were carried out using human cadavers to see if the anti-inflammatory properties of the flowers are applicable to humans.

In conclusion, the dried flowers of Moringa oleifera might help to reduce blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. Preliminary studies had indicated that the anti-inflammatory properties of the extract might help to prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The flowers could also be useful in treating diabetes. You can get more enlightened on this topic by reading here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa_oleifera.
