Sereni-Trees from Indonesia must be familiar with moringa leaves! Moringa is a plant known for its health-promoting properties. However, apart from health, moringa also has amazing benefits for skincare. Curious about what they are? Be sure to read this article till the end, Sereni-Trees!
Various Benefits for Body Health
Moringa leaves are extremely rich in nutrients, as evidenced by their myriad of health benefits both inside and out. Here are some examples:
- Lower the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
The antioxidant content found in the leaves serves to maintain our brain health. Automatically, diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s will decrease the risk.
- Controls blood sugar and pressure
Moringa has potassium content that can keep our blood pressure stable and reduce the risk of hypertension. Not only that, for those of you with high blood sugar, Moringa leaves can help with insulin resistance.
- Resolves inflammation in the body
Our bodies are prone to inflammation when we have an infection or injury. This is normal because it is a form of body protection! But prolonged inflammation can be dangerous! The isothiocyanate content in Moringa leaves can be one of the solutions to overcome inflammation naturally.
- Maintain healthy joints and bones
The calcium and phosphorus content of moringa keeps joints and bones strong. This includes preventing and treating arthritis!
Other benefits also include maintaining liver health, improving digestion, slowing the development of cancer cells, and many more. Keep in mind, Sereni-Trees, that natural ingredients like moringa are not a solution to disease but rather a preventative that helps the healing process. So, taking the necessary medication is still mandatory!
The Magic of Moringa for Skin
You know, apart from consumption, this natural ingredient also provides positive effects as a skincare ingredient! Rich in calcium, magnesium, flavonoids, vitamins A, B, C and E, Moringa is perfect for:
- Resolve acne problems
The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties of moringa can prevent and reduce the appearance of acne.
- Prevents premature aging
The vitamin C and flavonoids (antioxidants) in moringa play an important role in increasing collagen production in the skin. Skin rich in collagen will be more elastic and more supple, delaying signs of aging such as fine lines.
- Protects skin from free radicals
Skin is often exposed to free radicals such as UV rays or pollution. This can make it prone to skin problems! The vitamin A, C, and E content in moringa can strengthen the skin structure from within, making it stronger!
- Brightens naturally
You don’t have to worry about getting clear skin safely and naturally! The vitamin C in this ingredient can suppress the production of excess skin pigmentation.
- Keeps skin soft and moisturised
Skin is prone to dryness and cracking due to calcium deficiency in our body. However, the calcium content in moringa can be a “booster” to fulfill your calcium needs and keep your skin moisturised. Plus, calcium can also speed up the skin regeneration process!
It turns out that this natural ingredient is very miraculous in the world of health and skincare! But of course using moringa alone is not enough, we must also balance it with a healthy diet, enough exercise, and routine use of appropriate skincare. Don’t forget to do a patch test to find out whether or not you are allergic to this ingredient!
