Drumstick Blossoms

I sowed drumstick seed  six months back and grown fastly and now it begins to blossom. cream white blossoms are seen almost all over the tree. just a small tree with full of flowers. When I google the uses of moringa or drumstick blossoms, I wondered about its wide use almost all over the world wish to collect the matters in one place.

Its botanical name is Moringa Oleifera. The flowers begin to bloom when the tree is six months in our garden. I am seeing these blossoms in drumstick tree continuously. It starts to give rise to raw drumsticks also.

Moringa flowers are consumed by kongu regional people in many variations of cuisines.It is a wonderful delicacy mixed into kongu cuisines. They fry the moringa flowers dipped in the batter made with Bengal flour, raw rice flour, red chilly powder, and salt and relish this snack.

They are making hot drink by boiling the moringa flowers in water for ten minutes to let the unique flavour brew. The brewed and honey or sugar mixed hot drink is of high medicinal value. but also has nutritional properties. The flowers contain calcium and potassium, proteins, amino acids and a wide range of vitamins and minerals.So it is an outstanding food and supplement for vegans.

From the very ancient period,  its traditional value in treating various health problems is being known by the folks of Tamilnadu. They practiced to treat common cold, supplement to breast feeding women, and water retention.They are used to strengthen the liver function and protect the tissues and muscles to function properly. Another important use of Moringa flowers  is its usee in combating the impotence and other sexual dysfunctions

.

Recent researches have shown that the decoction made from the moringa flowers can be used to reduce the inflammation and muscle spasm. Th incidence of edema and swelling can be reduced by consuming this strong decoction.The chemical compounds of moringa flower (Kaempferol and Quercetin) have been proven to reduce the high blood pressure and to help control the blood sugar fluctuations experienced by the diabetic patients.

RASTALI

BANANAS are good for your heart and nerves. Bananas contain a high dose of potassium-an essential ingredient to keep your heart and nervous system in good shape. Potassium is essential for proper muscle contraction and hence plays an important role in muscle influenced activities including the normal rhythmic pumping of the heart, digestion, muscular movements. Some studies have also linked low potassium intake to high blood pressure and increased the risk of stroke. 

So including banana or two in your diet everyday would take you a step closer towards getting your daily recommended dose of potassium.

Bananas are good for your kidneys and bones. Benefits to the kidneys and the bones are again due to the high potassium content of bananas. A normal intake of potassium suppresses calcium excretion in the urine and minimizes the risks of kidney stones.Also for the same reason (suppressing of calcium excretion), it minimizes the loss of calcium from the body and thereby reduces the risk of osteoporosis.

Bananas can act as mood enhancers or mild sedatives. Bananas contain Tryptophan which is one of the 20 amino acids which are building blocks of proteins. It should be noted that the only way our body gets its dose of Tryptophan is through our diet. It does not produce Tryptophan naturally. Banana is the one of the easiest way to get it.

Bananas are good for your blood. Bananas are one of the highest sources of naturally available vitamin B^. Vitamin B6 plays an important role in converting Tryptophan to Serotonin and also helps the body to make Haemoglobin a vital element of our blood. Vitamin B6 is also essential for antibody production and to maintain a healthy immune response. It also helps to convert carbohydrates to glucose and thereby maintains proper blood sugar levels.

A medium banana can take care of 1/5 th of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin B6. It is a rapid energy booster to children and adults.

Bananas are moreover good source of dietary fiber. A single serving one medium sized banana contains 16 % of the daily recommended dietary fiber intake for a normal adult,fiber improves laxation (smooth bowel movements).

Fiber rich diets have also been linked to lower risk of coronary heart disease and of type 2 diabetes.
