In a remote valley of Congo, on a farm with
splendid views of lush green mountains,   stand amidst a plantation of
young moringa trees. The green leaves glisten in the African sun, the
seed pods hang in curls. Pullinga tender young leaf and chew on it,
enjoying the fresh, pleasing taste. The Belgian couple growing this crop
plans to cash in on an up-and-coming trend and their timing appears to
be just right.

Over the past few years, a botanical new to the
U.S. and European markets has been making impressive gains in
popularity, due to its broad traditional benefits and emerging
supportive science. That plant, moringa oleifera, is native to northern
India, Pakistan, the Himalayan region, Africa and Arabia, but is now
cultivated more widely throughout the tropics. The young plantation I
have visited in Congo is one such cultivation project.

Also known
as drumstick tree or horseradish tree, moringa trees grow quickly,
reaching a height of between 15 and 30 feet within just a few years. The
leaves, fruit flowers and immature pods of the tree are eaten as
nutritious foods. The leaves in particular are consumed either raw in
salads, tossed into blender drinks, or steamed like spinach. Rich in
protein, beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium and calcium, the leaves
make an excellent green vegetable, and are pleasing in flavor.

But
beyond the flavor and nutrition, moringa offers healing benefits.
Virtually all parts of the plant are used to treat inflammation,
infectious disorders, and various problems of the cardiovascular and
digestive organs, while improving liver function and enhancing milk flow
in nursing mothers. The uses of moringa are well documented in both the
Ayurvedic and Unani systems of traditional medicine, among the most
ancient healing systems in the world.

Moringa is rich in a
variety of health-enhancing compounds, including moringine, moringinine,
the potent antioxidants quercetin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, and various
polyphenols. The leaves seem to be getting the most market attention,
notably for their use in reducing high blood pressure, eliminating water
weight, and lowering cholesterol.

 

Studies show that
moringa leaves possess anti-tumor and anti-cancer activities, due in
part to a compound called niaziminin. Preliminary experimentation also
shows activity against the Epstein-Barr virus. Compounds in the leaf
appear to help regulate thyroid function, especially in cases of
over-active thyroid. Further research points to anti-viral activity in
cases of Herpes simplex 1.

Now that moringa is emerging as a
popular supplement for health enhancement, the science on this plant is
accelerating. The glucose-modifying, anti-diabetic effects of moringa
may prove of great use amidst a virtual epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and
obesity. The liver-protective activities of the leaf and its extracts
could make it a staple component of bitters formulas and various
cleansing preparations. And ongoing work on the anti-cancer properties
of moringa may at some point earn this plant a role in chemotherapy.

In
the traditional medicinal systems of many cultures, plants with long
uses and benefits remain to be discovered. Moringa oleifera, unknown in
the market just ten years ago, is surging into greater popularity due to
its multiple health benefits and nutritious value as a food. Also known
colloquially as “miracle tree,” moringa is a valuable plant medicine,
and deserves a place in the home pharmacy.
