Benefits of Moringa
Moringa is charged with some unique properties, which make both modern science and age-old Ayurveda seek medicinal help from this plant.
- Modern Science/ Modern View
Moringa has beneficial effects in bronchial asthma management. It boasts anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce inflammation in bronchial tubes. Thus, moringa can improve breathing while alleviating the symptoms of asthma. - Ancient Wisdom/ Traditional View
Moringa helps to control asthma and renders relief during breathlessness. Usually, the ‘vata’ (space + air) and ‘kapha’ (water + earth) doshas involved in asthma cause obstruction in respiratory tracts. So, moringa helps restore the balance of ‘kapha’ to reduce excess mucus from the lungs, rendering relief from symptoms related to asthma.

The insulin-like proteins present in moringa helps in decreasing elevated levels of blood glucose. Also, it stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Thus, moringa is highly beneficial in diabetes management. - Ancient Wisdom/ Traditional View
Madhumeha or diabetes happens due to ‘vata’ aggravation or impaired digestion. It ultimately leads to the accumulation of ‘ama’ (toxin) in pancreatic cells, which hampers insulin functioning. Besides, moringa also helps to improve the condition with its ‘deepan’ (appetizer) and ‘pachan’ (digestive) properties.
- Modern Science/ Modern View
Moringa is quite beneficial in diarrhea management. With its anti-bacterial property, it inhibits the growth of bacteria, which are responsible for causing diarrhea. It also helps in diminishing the inflammation of the intestine caused due to diarrhea. - Ancient Wisdom/ Traditional View
Atisar (diarrhea) is mainly caused due to improper food, toxins, mental stress, impure water, and Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). But all these things lead to ‘vata’ aggravation, causing water accumulation in the intestine. So, moringa helps to control it by improving Agnimandya (weak digestive system). It effectively treats diarrhea with its ‘deepan’ (appetizer) and ‘pachan’ (digestive) properties.
- Modern Science/ Modern View
Moringa tends to perform hypolipidemic activities, which lower cholesterol levels significantly. As a result, it helps prevent cholesterol build-up in blood vessels, which, in turn, aids in averting plaque formation in the arteries and reduces the potential risks to atherosclerosis. - Ancient Wisdom/ Traditional View
High cholesterol is formed in the body due to an imbalance of ‘pachak agni’ (digestive fire), which triggers excessive ama (toxin) production, resulting in the accumulation of bad cholesterol and blockage of blood vessels. So, moringa helps to improve ‘pachak agni’ and eliminate ‘ama’ using its ‘deepan’ and ‘pachan’ properties, which, in turn, removes the artery blockage.
