MORINGA OLEIFERA

Moringa oleifera, a homoeopathic medicine prepared from the leaves, bark, or seeds of the Drumstick tree, is chiefly valued for its action on the digestive organs, glands, and female system. It has been noted for its astringent and nutritive properties, and clinically used in dyspeptic complaints, glandular swellings, uterine disorders, and general debility. Traditionally recognized in Ayurveda as Shigru / Sahijan, it also holds a supplementary place in homoeopathy for its influence on digestion, circulation, and female complaints.
