Understanding how food and medicine work is important. When a plant has a quality in nature it tends to have that same quality in the human body, it’s what the plant does both in its natural environment and in the gut. The Moringa plant is known to contain a specific protein that attaches itself to harmful agents and because of this it’s been utilized as a water purification tool. If this works the same way in the body it can purify and remove excess toxicity that may be weighing the body down and causing health conditions that influence overall vitality. This explains how it can help with arsenic toxicity.
Moringa also contains moringine, moringinine, the potent antioxidants and polyphenols that help to reduce high blood pressure, eliminate water weight, and lower cholesterol.
