Potassium is essential for the functioning of the brains and nerves and proteins are very important since they are the basic building blocks of all our body cells.
Its many uses
Malunggay is one of the world's most useful plants. Almost all of its parts-leaves, fruits, and roots have been used for a variety of food and medicinal purposes. The leaves are a popular vegetable and can be found in salads, in vegetable curries, as pickles and for seasoning in many parts of Southeast Asia, Africa and India. The leaves are also used as feed for livestock or pounded and used for scrubbing utensils and for cleaning walls.
Its seeds are eaten raw or cooked. Seeds contain 38-40% oil that is used for cooking or as a lubricant for machines. Malunggay oil has become popular because it is clear, sweet, odorless and never becomes rancid. It is used in making some perfumes and hairdressings.
Pulp from Malunggay wood has been used for different kinds of wrapping, printing and writing papers and for textiles and cellophane.
Leaves can be applied as poultice to sores, rubbed on the temples for headaches, and said to have purgative properties. Bark, leaves and roots are acrid and pungent, and are taken to promote digestion. Oil is somewhat dangerous if taken internally but is applied externally for skin diseases. Bark regarded as antiscorbic, and exudes a reddish gum with properties of tragacanth; sometimes used for diarrhea. Roots are bitter, act as a tonic to the body and lungs, and are used as an expectorant, mild diuretic and stimulant in paralytic afflictions, epilepsy and hysteria.
