Apothekary - Moringa, a powerful anti-inflammatory green herb.

Moringa is a small tree native to Nepal, also known as drumstick tree or horseradish tree. Moringa has been used for centuries as a cure all given its nutrient rich profile, anti-inflammatory and excellent detoxifying properties. If you struggle to get healthy greens or need an appetite suppressant, Moringa is a great herb to incorporate into your busy life.

Studies show impressive weight loss benefits in people taking a multi-ingredient supplement containing moringa. In Eastern European countries, Moringa has been used to treat and prevent ailments such as diabetes, heart disease, anemia, and digestive disorders.

Moringa extracts might help treat some stomach disorders, such as constipation, gastritis, and ulcerative colitis. The antibiotic and antibacterial properties of moringa may help inhibit the growth of various pathogens, and its high vitamin B content helps with digestion.

Moringa helps to reduce the amount of glucose in the blood, as well as sugar and protein in the urine. Moringa also contains isothiocyanate and niaziminin, compounds that help to stop arteries from thickening, which can cause blood pressure to rise. Human-based studies have shown that Moringa oleifera may have similar cholesterol-lowering effects.

In addition to vitamin C and beta-carotene, these include:

• Quercetin: This powerful antioxidant may help lower blood pressure (12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source).
• Chlorogenic acid: Also found in high amounts in coffee, chlorogenic acid may help moderate blood sugar levels after meals.
