How does the Moringa oleifera cure
constipation ?

3. Abstract
 Nowadays we talk about how Moringa olfeira
has multiple healing properties,treating
diseases such as High Cholesterol, diabetes,
constipation, Alzeihmer, among others.
Through this research proposal I plan on
observing the effects of this plants in treating
constipation problems.

4. Background
 The moringa oleifera is native of the foothills of
the Himalaya.
 Genus: Moringa and family: Moringaceae
 Synonymous: Moringa pterygosperma
 Also know as clarifier tree, horseradish tree,
drumstick tree and mother’s best friend

6. Hypothesis
 The moringa oleifera will not cure the constipation of
the lab rat and will cause other serious synthoms.

7. Objectives
 Prove if moringa oleifera effectively cures
constipation.
 Find if moringa oleifera causes other
synthoms.

8. Significance
 This natural medicine is being used for
alternative medicine and has not yet been FDA
(U. S. Food and Drug Administration)
approved to treat cancer, diabetes, HIV, high
cholesterol, Alzheimer, constipation and many
other diseases Moringa oleifera says the treat.
 It is of great interest to know the properties
of this tree.

9. Methods
 First of all, I will select ten (10) laboratory rats and
feed them with a low fiber diet to make them
constipate and ten (10) more without the
constipation.
 Of the ten (10) constipated laboratory rats, five (5)
of them will be treated with Moringa oleifera and the
other five (5) will be used as an intermidate control
group.

10. Methods (continue)
 Of the ten (10) laboratory rats that are not
constipated, five (5) of them will be not threated with
Moringa oleifera and the other five (5) will be
threated with Moringa oleifera.
 After that, the defecates of the laboratory rats will be
monitored daily during two (2) weeks.

11. Expected Results
 The Moringa oleifera will not cure the rat’s
constipation and instead of that, it will cause
secondary synthoms.

12. Future Studies
 Test the Moringa olfiera in other diseases to
investigate if it cures the diseases or causes more
sympthoms.
