Moringa Oleifera, otherwise known as the green leafy "Malunggay" in the country, has been touted as a veggie with exceptional medicinal properties. Here in the Philippines, Malunggay is an ubiquitous plant whose leaves make an inexpensive but nutritious ingredient to soup dishes and a saving grace when the budget is dwindling. It grows abundantly that you can harvest it from your own garden, the neighbor's backyard, or just about anywhere where there's soil. While some people would spend most of their earnings on monthly bills, auto insurance, and maintenance medicines, little do they realize that God has whipped up a natural pharmacy for free. Malunggay is one of the natural remedies whose beneficial properties range from increased lactation for mothers, to the control of blood pressure. If that doesn't impress you, note that it also has skin-revitalizing properties. Yes my dearies, that green thingy can make you pretty.
If you have noticed, several companies have capitalized on the healing powers of Malunggay that it is now available in capsule, powdered and tea forms. The rich anti-oxidant properties of the plant has qualified it to be a detoxifying spa treatment as well.

Another Malunggay treatment, the "Salt of The Earth," utilizes dead sea salt infused with Malunggay oil, Virgin Coconut Oil and Olive Oil to allow exfoliation. These ingredients polish the skin, preparing it for richer hydration. A soothing massage follows, adding aromatherapy oil to replenish lost moisture and renew the senses.
