        The malunggay, which is also called Ben Nut, Benzolive Tree, Drumstick Tree, Horseradish Tree, Jacinto (Sp.), Moringa, West Indian Ben and with the scientific name Moringa oleifera has demonstrated many potential health supportive benefits. It is a tree that is native to India but has spread to other tropical regions and in the Philippines it grows rapidly and with ease in nearly every backyard. It has a significant amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and perhaps this is why it has been so effective for aiding in the healing of wounds. It also contains significant Beta-Sitosterol, iodine, Kaempferol, Oleic-Acid, Pterygospermin, Quercetin, Sulphur, and Tocopherol, all of which are known to contributed to assisting in the healing of wounds. As for stopping the bleeding, the ascorbic acid levels and Oxalic-acid are listed as antihemoragic in Dr Duke’s data base (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/duke/farmacy2.pl). To my knowledge there are no bad side effects associated with the use of maluggay other than the leaves slimy texture when cooked in soup. It is an extremely nutritious food source. If using a natural form of sugar along with the leaves, it helps to seal the wound and thus promote healing. If honey is used, it also has antibacterical properties and has been used for such throughout history. If you would like more information on the substances it contains and their health supporting properties, you can visit the above referenced site. I hope that this helps.
