Page 32 - MORINGA OLEIFERA-The Most Useful Plant on Earth

MORINGA IS AN ANTIFUNGAL

Fungal conditions in the developing world, especially in tropical areas where

Moringa grows naturally, are major problems that contribute to endless suffering,

rampant itching, overcrowding in health care facilities, and are responsible for

children missing blocks of school due to lack of fungal treatments. In addition, skin

conditions aren’t just a nuisance, they can be deadly, and are accountable for

thousands of deaths every year.

Moringa is a documented antifungal, and will have a significant impact on fighting

conditions both internally through the blood stream by consumption of leaf powder,

pods, and flowers, and externally on the surface of the skin by applying the

remarkable seed oil. Also, Moringa leaf powder mixed with water is a soothing

substance for soaking effected areas.

Equally critical are the benefits of Moringa liquid Soap for bathing that will begin the

healing process, and magnificent Moringa oil applied as lotion after, will finish the

job to help prevent future infections. This valuable treatment is convenient and free

for those who grow Moringa trees and cannot afford antifungal creams.

In Western Ethiopia, 80% of randomly examined children had at least one type of

skin disease. In the same area, 47%-53% of people from two rural communities had

some type of skin disease. These skin problems effect quality of life, lead to social

isolation, and are particularly severe in children. The introduction of these Moringa

resources into society will have far reaching permanent benefits to battle and

manage a range of common fungal infections.
