The Moringa (Malunggay) Tree and Its Powers

Malunggay, scientifically known as Moringa Oleifera, is native to Republic of the Philippines. It is one of the varieties of genus Moringa that is widely cultivated in Asia. It belongs to the family of Moringaceae. Malunggay is an extraordinary vegetable tree which parts were noted to contribute potential uses. Its tree is slender that can grow as high as 10m. It has multiple branches that bear numerous tiny leaves.

This miracle tree grows in tropical and subtropical areas. It can grow faster in sandy soil but it can thrive in any type of soil, even salty soils in the coastal areas. It is can tolerate and resist drought seasons and can survive rainy seasons. The tree is not robust enough to stand intensive windy climate. Accordingly, most parts of the Malunggay tree are edible.

The young green pods that are called drumsticks are the popularly used part of the Malunggay tree. It tastes like slight asparagus and usually cooked like green beans. For mature pods, the beans will be taken out and can either roasted or eaten like peas. The flowers taste like mushrooms and very delicious. The leaves are like spinach that is added up to chicken or fish broths for a delicious finish. The tree contains calcium, beta-carotene, Vitamin C, protein, iron, phosphorous and potassium.

In Siddha medicine, malunggay seeds are taken to increase and prolong sexual activities and serve as the treatment for arousing and erectile disorders in both men and women.

Forty percent of edible oil, called ben oil, can be yielded by Moringa seeds. Ben oil may be used in cooking, cosmetics, and as lubricants. Once refined, the ben oil looks clear and odourless. It can also resist rancidity like any other botanical oils. The seeds being gathered after oil extraction are used to fertilize plants or as flocculants for water purifying.

Lots of scientific studies were conducted proving the humble plant's powerful and nutritional components. It has the ability to rebuild weak bones, enrich good blood flow, and nourish lactating mother's milk. Its containing calcium per ounces is compared to four glasses of milk. It has more of vitamin C than is compared to seven orange fruits and its potassium is like that of three bananas.

According to Lowell Fuglie, the nutrition and Vitamins we can get from a Malunggay is 10 times more than other food source such as carrots for beta carotene, orange for vitamin C, banana for phosphorus, spinach for iron, milk for calcium, and yogurt for protein.

The Malunggay tree also contains antibiotics and anti-inflammatory treatments. It is because the tree can be a good source of alkaloids that can pre-empt unwanted growth. It can heal wounds so easily and can even stop the bleeding of an open and internal wound.

The tree of moringa is therefore a miracle tree. At present, the World Health Organizations are enjoining the help of government and non-government organizations of tropical countries to plant, in massive scale, the tree of Malunggay. African and Asian countries are well supported to cultivate this plant to address hunger and malnutrition.

Manny (PacMan) Pacquiao Strength Secret Revealed

Moringa (Malunggay) considered a miracle vegetable

It has been reported by several news agencies that Manny (PacMan) Pacquiao has revealed the secret to his strength and endurance.

According to an article at the Examiner.com, "We all know why Manny is like a machine when he fights and it’s because he trains like a gladiator. 3000 abdominal crunches a day, he gets repeatedly whacked with a wooden pole and so-on. That would be just part of the reason.

The other part is what Manny Pacquiao eats on a regular basis to fuel his Ferrari-like vehicle of a body and to speed up the recovery process. This would be the steroid of all vegetables. Like Popeye has his spinach, Manny has hisMoringa (Malunggay).

Among the many phenomenal abilities that the Malunggay plant can do are that it reduces blood pressure, restores a skin’s ability to heal. It manages diabetes sugar levels and reduces arthritis pains and inflammation. Also, it restricts tumors and heals ulcers.

According to what a scientist in India state

“Malunggay-Scientifically speaking, Moringa (the English term) sounds like magic. It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and enable a malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby. Ounce for ounce, it has the calcium of four glasses of milk, the vitamin C of seven oranges and the potassium of three bananas.

A dash of Moringa can make dirty water drinkable. Doctors use it to treat diabetes in West Africa and high blood pressure in India. Not only can it staunch a skin infection, but Moringa also makes an excellent fuel and fertilizer

Memo to Popeye: Moringa has triple the iron of spinach and more impressive attributes than olive oil. Both Moringa and the common carrot are diamonds in the roughage department, but Moringa has quadruple the beta carotene, which is good for the eyes and effective against cancer."

“The answer seems to be Moringa's well-documented detoxifying effect. University laboratories around the world have studied Moringa's ability to purify water...attaching itself to harmful material and bacteria, and allowing them to be expelled as waste.” Imagine the effect Malunggay has for the human body!

Bottom line is that this vegetable builds healthy skin, bone and muscle at a very accelerated pace. A must have superfood for all athletes to instill in their diets.

For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, Manny Pacquiao’s ancestors have been feasting on Malunggay. The properties of this plant therefore, must be engrained in his DNA.

There are stories of lore that tell of the ferocity and strength of the warriors that come from the southern Phillipine island of Mindanao. This is where Pacquiao was born.

Some say the United States Government invented the .45 caliber bullet as a “man stopper” to slow down rampaging Mindoros or Mindanao tribesmen during the U.S. occupation.

So, for you kids, who want to be strong like Manny, eat your Moringa Malunggay!

Moringa's Hope is proud to introduce our new Food for Gladiators! These capsules contain a finely ground, organically grown Moringa leaf powder. The incredible "miracle tree" is packed full of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti-oxidents.
