Hello everyone, I know it's been so long since I last posted here 🫣🌿 am sorry and I will try to do better.
Now that rain has started falling alot of plants, has started blooming more healthier than before.
One of those plants is the moringa tree scientifically known as ( moring oleifera).I believe, this plant has been in the compound for so many years and this can be attested to by the fruit it bears, the level of trims it has gotten at the stems and branches .
Moringa leaf is widely know for it's great medicinal properties around the world. My first discovery was in 200 level in my university days when we started doing a course called pharmacognosy (phytochemistry) how different plants components are extracted using various methods to achieve it's medicinal purpose.
One of the most common way of using moringa leaf for medicine is by boiling the leaf for few minutes to hours, and the content is extracted and drank like tea. Alot of persons use these for various health benefits.
Benefit of moringa leaf
as herbal tea
The seed produced by the moringa tree is also used in some regions in Nigeria for medical purposes. I was told it can be cooked along side the leaf.
I have always wondered how they are planted till now, the seeds gotten from a dried bud can be collected and sown directly in the soil or container which can later be transplanted.
You will be wondering if I have tasted moringa tea before and the answer is yes, it tasted blant for me, maybe because nothing was added to it. Alot of green tea companies for belly fat reduction and so on incorporate moringa powder into their tea bag because of it's effect on the body, it also has antioxidant properties which help fight against free radicals in the body.
Do you know any medicinal use of any part of moringa tree apart from the ones I mentioned? I would like to know.
