Moringa has also been found to be useful in treating symptoms of cancer, such as fever, skin irritations, weight loss, and coughing. It has even been shown to reduce symptoms of HIV in patients, which are similar to those experienced by individuals with mesothelioma. The plant is rich in nutrients, and consuming it can help prevent malnutrition in cancer patients who may experience loss of appetite due to treatment side effects.
In 2006, a study was conducted to investigate the potential of Moringa oleifera to treat cancer. The study focused on a specific molecule found in Moringa oleifera known as benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC). BITC is known to have anti-cancer properties and has been previously investigated for its potential to treat other types of cancer.
In addition to treating cancer symptoms, moringa has been shown to reduce symptoms of HIV in patients, which are similar to those experienced by individuals with mesothelioma. This is likely due to the plant’s high nutrient content, which can help prevent malnutrition in cancer patients who may experience loss of appetite due to treatment side effects.
As the moringa plant gains recognition, further scientific research is likely to follow. Organizations such as Trees for Life and Church World Service already support using moringa to treat cancer and malnutrition.
