Moringa (Moringa oleifera) serves to reduce high blood pressure

Moringa, also called tree of life or white acacia, is a medicinal plant that has a large amount of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, carotenoids, quercetin, vitamin C, among others, which provide greater antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

For this reason, this plant has been used to treat some respiratory diseases, reduce anxiety, lose weight and even control the concentration of glucose in the blood in diabetic people. However, there are still few studies that prove all its benefits and that describe the minimum doses, as well as their safety for human use.

The scientific name of the moringa is Moringa oleifera and, generally, its most used part is the leaf.

Possible benefits of moringa:

Increase respiratory capacity,
Prevent diabetes,
Protect the heart,
Regulate blood pressure,

Increase the body's defenses,
Have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect,
Protect and moisturize the skin,

However, in most investigations carried out with moringa, safe doses and side effects are not known, especially in the long term. Thus, if you choose to use this plant, it is important to have guidance from a doctor or other health professional specialized in the use of medicinal plants.

Side effects and contraindications:

The consumption of moringa can result in some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
It is recommended to avoid consuming the root and its extracts, without professional guidance, as they contain toxic substances that, when used in excessive concentrations, can cause paralysis and can even lead to death.

Moringa intake is not recommended for pregnant women and infants, as this medicinal plant can interfere both in pregnancy and in the production of breast milk.
