What About Moringa

               Moringa is a tropical tree with multiple uses and which is resistant

 to drought. Among the 13 species known, Moringa oleifera is particularly

easy to reproduce and its growth is very fast. The numerous economic uses

of Moringa oleifera together with its easy propagation have raised growing

international interest for this tree which originated from India.It is also

found in most tropical countries i.e. Thailand,Africa, Asia and some part of

America.Moringa stenopetala and other species from Eastern Africa and

Madagascar also have potential even though they have been less exploited

so far.

                       People in several countries have found that Moringa leaves are quite acceptable to taste, especially when added to common foods.Moringa Leaves are full of essential disease-preventing nutrients:
Vitamin A, which acts as a shield against eye disease, skin disease, heartailments, diarrhea, and many other diseases.
Vitamin C, fighting a host of illnesses including colds and flu.
Calcium, which builds strong bones and teeth, and helps prevent osteoporosis. Potassium, essential for the functioning of the brain and nerves. Proteins, the basic building blocks of all our body cells.

                 Besides the leaves, the other part of Moringa tree has also a great features for various everyday uses.For instance,we have heard that India's ayurvedic medicine uses in Traditional Medicine to cure some diseases such as natural antibiotic, an aid in childbirth, for treating liver disorders and many other uses.It is also recorded that villagers in Oman use Moringa oil to treat stomach disorders.In Haiti,villagers boil Moringa flowers in water and drink the tea as a powerful cold remedy. Dried Moringa leaves treat diarrhea in Malawi, Africa.

                  Moringa is also an important food source in many countries. In India, Moringa pods are widely consumed and plantations exist to produce pods for export ,fresh and tinned, to overseas consumers. In West Africa,Moringa oleifera leaves are commonly used to make sauces. Moringa stenopetala leaves are the staple food of the Konso people in Ethiopia. Studies have shown the leaves to be an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and protein: perhaps more than any other tropical vegetable. Many programs use Moringa leaves to fight against malnutrition and its associated diseases (blindness etc.).It is  considered as one of the most valuable and useful plants on the planet.

 
More Uses 
They also use it in perfume and hair oil. Moringa seeds contain a cationic polyelectrolyte that has proved efficient in water treatment, as a substitute to aluminium sulphate and other flocculent.There is a dual advantage to this property:
1) it can be used as a locally-produced substitute for imported flocculent ,thus reducing expenditure of foreign currency reserves by third world countries;
2) Moringa flocculent, unlike aluminium sulphate, is completely biodegradable.This aspect may be particularly interesting to developed countries.
                  Several organisations have isolated the active polyelectrolyte to facilitate its use in water treatment plants as well as in algae farms and other industries using flocculation: wineries, paper manufactures, mines. Now that research and application at the pilot scale have been achieved, production and use  of Moringa flocculent in real economic conditions is being developed.
                     Oil extracted from the seeds is an excellent edible vegetable oil and is also useful within the cosmetics industry. A dual usage of Moringa, as a source of oil and flocculent, is possible, since the seed cake remaining after oil extraction retains the flocculating properties. 
                     Other potential applications of Moringa including use as livestock feed, plant growth hormone, green manure, medicines or for paper making are currently the subject of various research efforts.
