The moringa tree, native to India but also found in the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is highly valued for its medicinal properties. It is used in traditional, traditional-modern, and modern medicine to treat various ailments, including diabetes and muscle pain. Local healers, like Henry Tazama, emphasize its importance in their practices, citing numerous patient testimonials about its effectiveness. Despite its benefits, moringa faces challenges due to ongoing conflict and deforestation, leading to its scarcity in certain areas. Healers are now cultivating it in home gardens to ensure its availability. The tree's preservation is crucial, as it offers a sustainable healthcare alternative in a region where access to modern medical facilities is limited.
