The moringa oleifera tree is now considered by many as a miracle tree for its medicinal benefits. The trees leaves are usually used to make moringa extract which contains anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known to contain anti-toxins, anti-oxidants and is full of the essential vitamins, nutrients and amino acids which boost the body’s immune system. Obviously because of these benefits, moringa is now recognized by many organizations including the World Health Organization, the European Union and other NGOs around the world. Many countries, including the Philippines and Africa are cultivating these trees for the production of bulk and wholesale moringa oil and moringa powder as raw ingredients for medicines, cosmetic products and to fight malnutrition.
One of the most important functions of moringa is its suppression of the COX-2 enzyme that causes the inflammation and pains the body experiences when this is produced in the body. And this is where its application to combat lupus comes in. Lupus erythematossus is an auto-immune inflammatory disease that affects several parts of the body – kidneys, joints and the skin. There is no exact causal factor for this disease but it is known that this can affect anyone of any age and could be fatal. Also, the pain of the production of the COX-2 enzyme especially during the constant flare ups could be hard to endure.
No one really knows what triggers these flare-ups and many sufferers of lupus are constantly on the lookout of how to avoid them. This means that sufferers need to avoid sunlight and eat foods rich in omega 3. The lifestyle of the lupus sufferer can be very expensive because of all the medications they need to take to suppress the disease. Moringa Oleifera helps the patients in terms of nutrition and alternative medication. As it contains natural anti-inflammatory properties it is considered to be safer to use on the long term than the NSAIDs which can be addicting or can cause some unwanted side effects.
The drugs that the lupus sufferers endure can cause numerous problems to the kidneys, the circulation, digestive problems and many other complications. Taking moringa leaves in the diet and as supplements is not only less toxic but it is also more effective. There are now numerous products which contain this wonder herb and those who need them in the diet constantly, like the lupus sufferers, can buy bulk moringa leaves, powder and other products online.
