Forget the traditional Christmas Tree, if you really want to feel good this festive period ensure you have some ‘Drumstick Tree’ to hand...

Known as the 'miracle' or 'drumstick tree', the leaves, bark, flowers, fruit, seeds, and roots of moringa are all used traditionally throughout Asia for a host of claimed health benefits.

Research continues ^1,2,3 to highlight, that on top of its traditional use, moringa could also help our bodies and livers better protect themselves from the onslaught of 'poisons'. In the studies scientists looked at the effect on animal livers of moringa extracts when exposed to poison. Under normal circumstances the liver helps filter toxins from the body, but excess exposure over time can cause lasting damage to the organ and prevent it from working efficiently.

In numerous studies, scientists have found that moringa extracts can help reduce markers of liver damage and improve the condition of the liver's cells when exposed to poison, indicating the plant somehow has a protective effect on the body.
