1. Protecting and nourishing skin and hair<\/h3><\/div>

A\u00a0laboratory study<\/a>\u00a0has suggested moringa may help heal skin wounds more quickly. One way it may do this is by reducing\u00a0oxidative stress<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

According to some\u00a0expertsTrusted Source<\/span><\/span><\/a>, moringa seed oil may also have benefits for\u00a0hair health<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

However, more studies are needed, especially those involving humans.<\/p><\/div>

2. Treating edema<\/h3><\/div>

Edema<\/a>\u00a0is when fluid builds up in body tissues, for instance, because of\u00a0inflammation<\/a>. Ear edema can cause tissue\u00a0swelling<\/a>\u00a0around the ear, usually because of an\u00a0infection<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

In a 2022\u00a0study<\/a>, applying moringa seed oil reduced skin inflammation in mice with ear edema. This suggests the anti-inflammatory properties of moringa may help treat ear edema, though more research in humans is needed.<\/p><\/div>

3. Protecting the liver<\/h3><\/div>

Moringa may help protect the liver against\u00a0nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

In one\u00a0laboratory studyTrusted Source<\/span><\/span><\/a>, researchers discovered compounds in moringa that could be useful for this disease. One of these compounds reduced fat buildup in liver cells and increased the activity of proteins that break down fat.<\/p><\/div>

However, this study was not conducted directly on humans. Therefore, more research is needed before we can definitively claim that moringa protects people\u2019s livers.<\/p><\/div>

4. Preventing and treating cancer<\/h3><\/div>

Moringa contains properties that may help prevent\u00a0cancer<\/a>. For example, it\u00a0contains<\/a>\u00a0niazimicin, a compound that suppresses the development of cancer cells.<\/p><\/div>

According to\u00a0some scientists<\/a>, moringa leaf extracts, bark, and other parts of the plant may have properties that can kill cancer cells. If further research confirms this, they could prove useful in treating\u00a0breast<\/a>,\u00a0liver<\/a>,\u00a0colorectal<\/a>, and other cancers.<\/p><\/div>

However, more detailed research is needed to understand how it works at the cellular level.<\/p><\/div>

5. Treating stomach upset<\/h3><\/div>

Moringa extracts may help treat some stomach disorders.<\/p><\/div>
