The moringa - or moringa oleifera - is a plant that can be found in regions such as Asia, Africa, Central America, South America and Hawaii. With the ability to purify water, it reaches a height that is between 7 and 12 meters.
The herb has a number of medicinal properties. These include: antispasmodic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic (anti-fever), antiepileptic, anti-ulcer, antihypertensive, antitumor, cholesterol lowering, antioxidants, antidiabetic, antibacterial and antifungal.
