Moringa Oleifera has been a God-send for many developing nations, which depend on the tree's medicinal properties. Many villages are also nourished chiefly by the roots, branches, leaves, flowers and seeds harvested from the Moringa Oleifera tree.

Moringa Oleifera bark and branches are not as useful in culinary uses as the leaves, seeds, fruit and flowers. The bark's gum is occasionally used as food seasoning. Instead, the bark and branches are used extensively as animal fodder. Moringa Oleifera seedlings are especially nutriious for cattle and pigs. These animals can live exclusively on Moringa Oleifera if other plants are not available. Ideally, Moringa Oleifera will make up three quarters of the diet of pigs or cattle.

Moringa Oleifera bark, like the roots, has very concentrated antibiotic properties. These properties effectively treat a host of diseases and conditions. They serve as an effective treatment for everything from gout to sexually transmitted diseases and even arthritis. Of course, since the concentration is very high in the bark, great care and caution must be exercised.

Moringa Oleifera wood is not suited to building. However, the lightweight wood makes great fuel for cooking and can be made into viscose resin and paper. When beaten, the bark can be turned to fiber and woven into ropes, mats, rugs and even clothing.

Moringa Oleifera is used in a variety of contexts. Moringa Oleifera bark and branches may not be edible like the seeds and flowers, but is nonetheless central to many a village's economy.
