Drumstick is a rich source of vitamins like A and C, and minerals such as iron, folate, calcium, and magnesium. According to Ayurveda, its juice is pungent-bitter with a hot potency, and it helps balance Vata and Kapha. It provides antioxidant properties and supports digestion, bone health, pain relief, and inflammation reduction.
The Chhattisgarh government launched the 'Har Ghar Munaga, Ghar-Hhar Munaga' campaign to reduce malnutrition and anemia in the state. Under this initiative, Moringa plants are distributed free of cost and planted on a large scale, targeting about 7.88 lakh families through 52,553 Anganwadi centers. In Raipur district, a mega-campaign successfully planted 50,000 Moringa plants in a single day under the directives of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai.
Moringa contains iron and folate, making it a beneficial dietary addition for iron-deficiency anemia, though medical examination and treatment remain necessary. For bones, its calcium and magnesium content supports bone health, and Ayurveda utilizes it for bone-related issues and osteoporosis due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
