Moringa Oil Benefits and Uses
Miraculously medicinal oil
The moringa oleifera plant has been the topic of over one thousand research papers.1 Its rare combination of bioactive compounds2 is the reason why it is an important health-giving nutraceutical. Kaizer’s cold-pressed moringa oil can be used to supplement the treatment of people with liver disease, hypertension, heart disease, and a variety of inflammations. The taste of the bright yellow oil is reminiscent of sweet peanut oil. Applied topically, it can smooth skin and hair, heal acne, and diminish sunspots.
What makes Moringa Oil “miraculous”?
This edible oil is pressed from the seed of the most nutritious plant yet discovered:
- Monounsaturated fatty acids, MUFAs: protect heart and skin.
- Sterols: absorb bad cholesterol.3
- Vitamin E: protects blood, brain, and skin.
Liver Healing and Detox
Undiagnosed liver disease and damage is more common than is often appreciated. It can be caused by alcohol abuse, food additives, mouth fresheners, viruses, pollutants, adulterants, medications, and exposure to toxic substances.
A healthy liver is vital for a healthy body. The liver metabolises food, regulates blood clotting, and removes toxins from the body. When the liver is under attack day after day, moringa oil can provide protection. It can prevent liver damage, lower enzymes, and regenerate functional cells in the liver.4
Cancer Fighter
The moringa plant has strong anticancer activity in breast and colorectal cancers. The oil of the seed is selectively cytotoxic, which means it can kill off certain cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.5 There is strong evidence that cold-pressed moringa oil can help to prevent the spread of breast and colorectal cancers.6
Fight and Prevent Common Infections
Moringa oil is a powerful natural antimicrobial and antibiotic that is effective against many bacterial and fungal infections. Daily use can protect you from several seasonal diseases.
If you are experiencing antibiotic resistance, it is important to speak to your doctor about starting treatment with moringa oil.7
It is anti-inflammatory and can soothe rashes, acne, and other skin irritations.8 It is also an effective treatment for dandruff and dry flaking of the scalp. The fungus that causes dandruff is cleansed away with the anti-microbial properties of the oil while the fatty acids deeply moisturise dry scalp.
Better Sleep, Deeper Relaxation
Falling asleep faster, sleeping deeper, and waking up feeling refreshed, sadly is a dream for so many of us. Moringa oil can help you to get better sleep by causing muscles to relax. It also significantly elevates gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important neurotransmitter involved in encouraging sleepiness and calming anxiety. Moringa oil quiets brain activity and provides a hypnotic effect for a good night’s sleep.9
