Introduction:
Within the framework of a scientific internship program, an innovative project has been launched to study the therapeutic properties of medicinal plants, including Moringa oleifera. This project aims to develop phytoproducts from extracts and essential oils of wild plants, with a special focus on the study of their chemical composition and pharmacological potential.
A scientific approach to natural wellness
The project seeks to determine the chemical components present in the alcoholic extract of plants with recognized phytotherapeutic properties, such as:
- Moringa oleifera
- Maria Preta (Cordia verbenacea)
- Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea)
These species have been selected for their traditional use and therapeutic potential in different cultures.
Moringa: protagonist of the study
Moringa oleifera, known as the tree of life, is rich in vitamin C, calcium, antioxidants and secondary metabolites. In this study, it will be analyzed:
- Its phytochemical composition in alcoholic extract
- The antifungal potential of its active compounds
- Its synergy with other essential oils for the creation of phyto-products
Phytoproducts with therapeutic potential
The plant extracts and essential oils obtained will be evaluated for their pharmacological capacity, as they contain complex mixtures of secondary metabolites that they possess:
- Antioxidant activity
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Antibacterial and antifungal effects
This integrated approach opens up new possibilities for developing highly effective natural products.
Innovation from nature
This program represents an alliance between science, natural health and traditional knowledge. In addition to research, it seeks to promote the development of sustainable and accessible products that harness the power of medicinal plants.
The study of moringa and other native species could be key to the future of modern phytotherapy.
Conclusion:
Research on the therapeutic properties of moringa not only confirms its ancestral value, but also projects its use in new lines of natural and effective products. At Moringa Es Vida we closely follow these advances that connect science with the wisdom of nature.
