If I have to ask how many of you all know what moringa is? I am sure few hands would go up. However, if I ask you what drumstick is? Majority of the hands would rise. However, majority of them who I know doesn’t like drumstick much! To your surprise, Moringa is also called as drumstick leaves. Moringa is a plant that is native to the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Traditionally, it has been used in Ayurveda for medicinal purpose.
While Moringa can be cooked and eaten as a tasty and juicy vegetable, it is also available in various forms like moringa leaves/ moringa powder and capsules. Moringa has lots of benefits that one should take note of.
The benefits of Moringa are:
- It helps in stabilizing sugar.
- Helps in regularizing cholesterol level.
- It is a powerful antioxidant as it is packed with vitamin A and C
- It controls blood pressure
- Helps in detoxification
- Boosts immunity
- Acts as an anti-ageing factor
- Improves digestive system
Moringa is a power house of minerals such as Iron, Calcium and Zinc. Let us look at each of these minerals and what they do
- Iron alleviates anaemia.
- Calcium is required for bone mineralisation.
- Zinc: It plays a vital role in hair-growth, spermatogenesis, and skin health.
Dosage:It is important to know the dosage of Moringa. It is ideal to have 5-6 gms (1 tsp) daily up to three weeks. It can be taken along with water/juices or in salads too.
Side effects:
The taste is not too pleasant and tends to produce a gag reflex on many first time users.Moringa thickens the blood. This is of note to those on blood-thinning medication.The consumption of Moringaincludes nausea, diarrhoea and heartburn. Reduce the dose in this case
Moringa is not recommended for pregnant and lactating mothers. The chemicals found in the roots, flowers and the bark could cause a contraction to occur on the uterus.
To conclude, by now I am sure you must have got an idea about how strong and beneficial moringa is! Next time, don’t say ‘NO’ to drumstick veggies and make it a part of your daily routine.
I don’t known who is this plant &benefit&which place is produce&sale &cost
I just recently was abruptly admitted into hospital and was diagnosed as having blood clots that initially started from leg and broke off traveling in lungs as a tree branch type. I’ve NEVER had blood clots and docs simply stated it was because I didn’t walk during a four hour plane ride. Bull, I flown several times before at even longer distances and didn’t get up to walked during the journey and never encountered blood clots. The only thing that was different was I obtained the two doses of Moderma vaccine which last dose was on 1/9/21 and even though trip occurred in mid 4/2021, I believe this was my gift from taking this vaccine.
Nevertheless while at hospital I was administered a Heffernan drip. After discharging I’ve now been prescribed in pill form an expensive blood thinner pill — eloquis. I’m told blood clots should eventually dissolve but as to when that maybe is ambiguous (??)
I’m also told thru sonagram it was revealed a few cost and I must wait three months to then retake it and make sure it’s not grown and even more cancerous. I’d like to be proactive now rather than later and run possibilities that they are cancerous and become larger.
Could I take internally some part of the Moringa (Tree of Life) to aide in this plight. Or since I am daily consuming this pill blood thinner might it be contradictory abd run risk of thickening the blood — thus creating a more potential to produce more blood clots???
I’m thinking it might be beneficial to consume a daily 1/2 teaspoon in water mixed with Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar.
What do you think?
Just curious if you tried it?
Wow. Great information. Did not have any idea about moringa..
One question can it be consumed in the morning empty stomach and is it necessary to have it with water or juice or salads? Can’t we pluck the leaves and consume the leaves on an empty stomach early in the morning?
Thanks! I am glad you liked my blog. yes, you can take in on an empty stomach or during any time of the day. Also, only powder would not be palatable and hence, it is better if you combine it with salads/juices/water/shakes 🙂
Yes, the freshly plucked leaves are a big YES! 🙂
I hope that solves your query

Hello I have been having fresh moringa leaves (1/4cup fresh leaves blended with 1 cup water every morning for the past month. I come from a family that suffers from deep vein thrombosis. When I started drinking this mix I found that I bleed more freely now. I’m not on chronic blood thinners . Usually I don’t bleed much or don’t bleed when I get cut. But was surprised at the amount of bleeding I experienced when I got cut. I was told that moringa thickens blood. This has an opposite effect on me. Can I continue with this drink. ? Other than the bleeding I don’t have other problems with moringa. I’m not on any medication except pain tablets that I buy over the counter. So no scheduled drugs. Thank u.

Moringa leaf powder is highly beneficial for lactating mothers as well as during pregnancy. It is the Moringa roots, bark and flowers which should not be taken during pregnancy. It would be good to correct that in your blog. We plant, harvest and produce Moringa powder and that is our first choice of treatment in malnutrition, lactating mothers and pregnancy. From Mariëtte Korda working with Action for Natural Medicine
If I drink the powder instead of the leave will I get the same result.
