The term "miracle" derives from the Latin miraculum (prodigy, strangeness) and in the collective imagination is primarily related to biblical episodes: almost supernatural events that exceed human comprehension.
But the word miracle also has another meaning, which has to do with "to marvel, to be amazed." And you will surely be amazed to discover how many benefits Moringa Oleifera, also known as the "Miracle Tree," can bring to the body.
Characteristics of moringa
Moringa is a plant that grows in equatorial and tropical areas of the planet, can reach up to 10 meters in height and has bright green oval leaves.
It has also been nicknamed the "miracle tree" by local populations precisely because of its ability to cure countless ailments. Every part of the plant, from the root to the flowers, can be used with different uses: the leaves and pods are edible and can be eaten fresh; and the seed paste is used by local people to purify drinking water.
Chemically, it is a plant naturally rich in plant proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins A, B and C, calcium, iron and magnesium. Its extract contains as many as 46 potent antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatory agents (including quercetin). It boasts anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic properties.
