“If there were a Nobel Prize for plants, Moringa would surely have received it.”
The author Claus Barta in his book “Moringa Oleifera”
“Green plants with high protein content are among the most effective green elixirs for cell regeneration that nature offers us.”
The health author Halima Neumann, quoted in Barbara Simonsohn's book “Moringa, the Edible Miracle Tree”
Experiences with Moringa in anamed (natural) medicine
Malnutrition
The proverb “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food” fits very well with Moringa.Most people who regularly consume moringa leaves – whether prepared as a vegetable from fresh leaves, mixed as moringa leaf powder in sauces or other dishes, or as tea – claim that they remain remarkably healthy.
Moringa oleifera is now even sold in the United States. The advertising states: "Due to extensive ongoing research by the international community, the addition of Moringa oleifera to the daily diet promises to make a significant contribution to improving health in various ways.”
We believe it is much cheaper to take moringa powder directly. If accessible, one should eat fresh leaves as a vegetable, or make moringa leaf powder and add it to food or drink tea made from fresh or dried leaves. To do this, pour one liter of boiling water over 5 grams of leaf powder (or 40 g of fresh leaves).
AIDS
Experiences in Musoma (on Lake Victoria in Tanzania) as well as some other health projects by anamed have shown that the following treatment has a remarkable effect on AIDS patients. Many people have regained their energy and are fully participating in life. Several individuals who arrived on a stretcher at the clinic and could barely walk experienced a dramatic improvement in their CD4 count (the number of so-called "CD4" immune cells is used as a benchmark for illness or health in AIDS) – and are now strong enough to work in their home, business, or garden.
A few are now even working as anamed teachers, helping not only their HIV-positive peers but also HIV-negative patients with their illnesses.AIDS patients in the tropics say that by adding Moringa leaves to their regular meals, they have regained their zest for life and strength. They repeatedly emphasize that the "A3 Tea" (Artemisia annua anamed), grown in the tropics by anamed , works well as a virus-inhibiting and immune-boosting remedy. However, it is only through the addition of Moringa that the body now has the strength and energy to regenerate. Moringa and Artemisia go hand in hand!
Diabetes
(Type 2 diabetes in the tropics)
We have seen several patients whose blood sugar levels decreased through the regular intake of Moringa oleifera leaves (depending on severity, 1 to 3 heaping teaspoons per day).
In some patients, blood sugar levels decreased even more effectively when they chewed and swallowed a white seed from M. oleifera three times a day.We follow the recommendation of Sheila John and colleagues, who concluded after trials with Moringa in animals and humans (translated by MK): "In affected individuals who consumed 8 grams of Oleifera leaf powder daily, there was a significant reduction in blood sugar levels, both before and after meals. Based on these results, it can be recommended to incorporate Moringa leaf powder into the daily diet. The overall result of the study clearly shows that Moringa leaves have proven to be a sensible, effective, easily accessible, and economically affordable supplement to treat cases of diabetes where insulin administration is not strictly necessary.
Tumors
According to our anamed-doctor Dr. med.Heiner Kuhn is especially grateful for body building with moringa powder from emaciated cancer patients in Germany: they regain more courage, get out of bed, and want to do something. Anamed also recommends the use of Artemisia tea (from the leaves of Artemisia annua anamed) for tumor treatment or metastasis prevention, as the active ingredient artemisinin is already clinically used and researched in cancer treatment.

1. As a gentle, natural antibiotic: Moringa contains pterygospermin, which kills bacteria and fungi. Thus, while the consumption of moringa cannot replace an antibiotic, it can support its effects.
2. For skin treatment.Either moringa leaf powder or dried, crushed seeds can be used to produce a medicinal oil or healing ointment:
• anti-inflammatory
• for stomach ulcers
• relaxes muscles and promotes sleep
Side effects
No negative side effects have been observed so far, even when moringa oleifera powder was consumed daily. Moringa oleifera as a vegetable can be included in the daily diet.
