Moringa oleifera belonging to the monogeneric family, Moringaceae is well known for its nutritive value in leaves, pods, and seeds. It contains high protein content in the leaves. They are an exceptionally good source of provitamin A, vitamins B and C, minerals (particularly Iron) and sulphur containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. It is commonly said that moringa leaves contain more Vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more Vitamin C than oranges, and more potassium than bananas,â?� and that the protein quality of Moringa leaves rivals that of milk and eggs. -
Entire young and pliable pod is cooked and eaten or used in the preparation of curries. In older pods which develop tough exterior, the pulp and immature seeds remain edible just before ripening begins. A dish is made by slicing pods into 5 cm lengths and boiled in water along with lentils. The flesh inside the pod sections is eaten. Alternatively, pods can be opened and the flesh and young immature seeds scraped out pods are boiled in water for a few minutes. The seeds of edible pods should be white in color. The seeds should be scraped out with the winged shells intact and as much of the soft white flesh as possible. It is rinsed with water to remove the sticky, bitter film. It is mixed with rice or roasted or fried in oil to give a taste like sweet groundnuts. The flesh can be cut into strips and steamed or fried, used to make a soup or be added to other sauces.
Moringa oil or Ben oil is obtained by pressing the seeds. The oil content of de-hulled seed (kernel) is approximately 42 %, which is brilliant yellow coloured. It is used as a lubricant for fine machinery such as timepieces because it has little tendency to deteriorate and become rancid and sticky. It is also useful as a vegetable cooking oil. The free fatty acid content varies from 0.5 to 3 %. Indian Systems of Medicine (Ayurveda) claims that moringa oil also possess antitumor, antipyretic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antispasmodic, diuretic, antihypertensive, cholesterol lowering, antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activities, and are being employed for the treatment of different ailments, especially for arthritis in the indigenous system of medicine, particularly in South Asia. -

SENNA PODS Senna has been used as a traditional medicine by ancient cultures all over the world for millennia. Senna is an Arabian name and 9th century writings describe how it was used extensively by Arabian physicians. According to a rare Egyptian medical papyrus, dating to the 16th century BCE, Senna was prescribed by the physicians for their distinguished patients. In North America, native tribes used the seeds (pods) as a mucilaginous medicine for sore throat. The Cherokees used the bruised root, moistened with water, for dressing sores. They also used it in a tea to cure fevers with black spots and paralysis as symptoms. Senna Pods Uses: Taking senna by mouth is effective for short-term treatment of constipation. Senna is an FDA-approved nonprescription drug for adults and children ages 2 years and older. However, in children ages 3-15 years, mineral oil and a medication called lactulose might be more effective than taking senna. Senna also appears to be effective for treating constipation when used in combination with psyllium or docusate sodium. In elderly people, senna plus psyllium is more effective than lactulose for treating ongoing constipation. Senna plus docusate sodium is effective for treating constipation in the elderly and in people who have undergone anorectal surgery. Taking senna appears to be as effective as lactulose, psyllium, and docusate for relieving constipation in people taking opioids or loperamide. Senna Benefits Constipation The most famous use of this herb is as a laxative and a purgative. It is now known that the laxative effects of Senna are due to anthraquinone glycosides known as sennosides. These compounds stimulate intestinal contractions that lead to the rapid expulsion of waste matter. Senna may also be able to soften the stool by assisting the large intestine to absorb more water and adding bulk to faeces. This allows for bowel movements that are quick and smooth as waste passes through the large intestine. Colon Cleanse Senna is often used to clear the bowel before diagnostic tests such as colonoscopies. Cleansing the colon is believed to improve nutrient uptake and support overall colon health. Anti-Parasitic:Senna also works as an effective vermifuge to destroy parasites and expel worms from the intestinal tract. It works best when combined with other anthelmintic herbs (used in the treatment of roundworm), such as ginger or fennel. These herbs increase regularity and reduce the chance of bowel cramps due to Sennaâ??s strong action. Digestive Health In the case of indigestion, Senna contains natural enzymes that help to restore gastric juice secretions in the stomach. Senna, if used in the proper dosage for certain periods of time, has shown potential in reducing irritability in the intestines by improving overall digestion. Senna also contains the anti-inflammatory compound resveratrol which can help to soothe inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Skin Health
