| Details |
To treat skin diseases, Mr Lailamany suggests that 21 pieces of bark of “Muringakka”, Drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera Lam.) be cut into an inch long pieces and boiled in half a kg of Neem oil (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) till they attain a red color. This oil should then be applied to treat skin diseases and infections and general body-ache.
Hot water infusions of flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and stalks or bark of Moringa oleifera were found to demonstrate antispasmodic and antiinflammatory effect in experimental models in rats.

A therapeutic composition containing Moringa oleifera for treating pains and swellings has also been suggested. (Pl see Honey Bee, 15(2):13, 2004) |
