Skincare

Moringa oil has been used for skincare (and perfume) since ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times. Additionally, moringa face masks are becoming popular to keep skin healthy, slow down aging and fight blemishes

Lactating Mothers

Researchers have classified moringa as a phytomedicine (plant medicine) in part due to its enormous reservoir of nutrients.  The Church World Service looked to moringa as a means to combat malnutrition, especially for expectant mothers at low cost.

Cardiovascular

Researchers have also investigated the benefits of moringa for heart health. Given that heart health is impacted by illnesses like high blood pressure and cholesterol it is important to find ways to address those illnesses. Moringa has been shown to positively affect these diseases and promote heart health.

Cancer

Left unchecked, cancer cells can overwhelm the body. Moringa leaves have been shown to promote normal cellular death of cancer cells (apoptosis). Additionally, the anticancer potential for compounds in moringa to inhibit tumor growth has been identified in laboratory mice. Moringa is still used in the  indigenous medicines of South Asia to fight cancer and could be a preventative agent.

Type II Diabetes

Long used by medical systems in South Asia to combat diabetes, moringa is now getting consideration in other geographies. Researchers have demonstrated that moringa lowers blood glucose significantly.
