Ever heard about the mystical miracle plant or the plant referred to as 'the tree of life'?
These are the descriptions given to the remarkable MORINGA plant "Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) as a result of its numerous health benefits.
This mystical plant has been in existence for over hundreds of years. Who would have ever thought so as an underutilized species? I never would have, until about a few years ago when I listened to an elderly man give so much praises to the plant.
He called it God's perfect gift to humanity and talked about how it had been therapeutically helpful in the treatment of a number of ailments ranging from diabetes to high blood pressure, gout, cancers and many more. I decided to read up on this mystical plant and its several health benefits and indeed, it's a gift to humanity.
