Oleic Acid is used to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure. It reduces the occurrence of blood clots and has the ability to remove plaque and debris in blood vessels ensuring healthy blood flow. It is also used as a treatment in joint pain and for swelling and redness that are common in arthritis. It strengthens the cell membrane integrity and helps in repairing cells and tissue damage.
Because Moringa oil has a high heat tolerance unlike olive oil you can use the Moringa oil in cooking or on your food such as in salad dressing. It is an unsaturated fatty acid that has larger molecules which have a tendency to slide past each other without bonding with other molecules, thus ensuring the free flow of blood without forming plaque that block arteries.
