This 'wonder tree' truly is wondrous in that each part of the tree is useful. The roots, stems, leaves, seed pods, resin, and flowers are considered to be healing herbs in folk medicine in Ayurvedic (traditional Indian healing system) and Unani (traditional Middle Eastern healing system). In modern times, the leaves and seed pods are utilized extensively due to their nutrient content, and modern studies are investigating their vast potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoringa is native to the sub-Himalayan mountain region, particularly in India. Still, it has been introduced to southwest Asia, southwest and northeast Africa, Madagascar, the Philippines, and the United States in California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Florida. This tree is in the Moringaceae, or horseradish tree, family, closely related to the papaya-containing \u003cem\u003eCaricaceae\u003c\/em\u003e family. It is the sole genus containing thirteen species, one of which is \u003cem\u003eM. stenopetala\u003c\/em\u003e, a species native to and cultivated in Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is believed that the moringa tree originated in northern India and was used in Indian medicine around 5,000 years ago. There are also accounts of it being utilized by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. This tree was, and still is, considered a panacea, referred to as the 'Wonder Tree,' 'The Divine Tree,' and 'The Miracle Tree', amongst many others. Moringa was used extensively in Ayurveda, where virtually all parts were considered useful and had many beneficial attributes. It was employed to support digestion, spleen, and eye health, as a cooking additive, and in many other ways. Its taste was considered bitter and pungent; its energetics, heating, and effect upon the dosha (Ayurvedic constitutional type) are balancing to Kapha (dosha ruled by earth and water) and Vata (dosha ruled by air and ether). The leaf is considered energetically bitter, pungent, and heating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eActive Compounds:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Alkaloids, saponins, anthraquinones, phytosterols (stigmasterol, sitosterol, campesterol), minerals (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc), vitamins (beta-carotene, folic acid, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid, vitamins C, D and E), isothiocyanates, flavonoids, tannins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eActions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, hepatoprotective, hypotensive, cancer preventative and antitumor, cardiac tonic, urinary tract tonic, thyroid tonic, lactogogue, immunostimulant, antirheumatic, astringent, abortifacient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndications:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Malnutrition, Microbial infection, Cancer and Tumors, Heart Disease, Frequent UTI, Sluggish Immune System, Dropsy, Skin Irritation, Digestive Distress\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrecautions:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e No known precautions.
