The Efficacy of Malunggay

Chapter I Introduction A. Background of the Study Malunggay is a popular bring that is dubbed miracle tree or natures medicine cabinet by scientists and health care workers cosmopolitan because of its proven nutritional benefits as well as, reported medical properties. In the Philippines Malunggay is widely cultivated and bed be found in the fannyyard of many Filipino homes. It is a low-maintenance plant. It can grow in more or less any kind of soil and is drought resistant. The Malunggays main values are as source of nutrients.Its medicative properties are limited and mostly unproven. It also helps to control blood pressure, relieves headaches and migraines. Blood clotting, or coagulation, is an important surgical operation that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the pellucid fracture of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury. Typically, your trunk wi ll naturally dissolve the blood clot after the injury has healed.Sometimes, however, clots form on the deep down of vessels without an obvious injury or do not dissolve naturally. These situations can be dangerous and pick out accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Clots can occur in veins or arteries, which are vessels that are part of the bodys circulatory system. While both types of vessels help transport blood throughout the body, they all(prenominal) function differently. Veins are low-pressure vessels that carry deoxygenated blood away from the bodys organs and back to the mettle.An abnormal clot that forms in a vein may restrict the return of blood to the heart and can result in pain and swelling as the blood gathers behind the clot. B. Objectives The study aimed to get back the efficacy of Malunggay leaves (Moringa Oleifera) leaves extract in increasing the platelet count of albino mice. Specifically, it aimed to compare the platelet counts of these mice given do ses of the plant extract before and after the treatments. C. Hypothesis The study is guided by the following hypothesesNull That Malunggay leaves (Moringa Oleifera) decoction is as significant as the control in increasing the platelet count of albino mice. Alternative There is a significant difference of the Malunggay leaves (Moringa Oleifera) and the control in increasing the platelet count of the albino mice. D. Significance of the study (talk on how Malunggay can increase the platelet count) E. Scope and limitation The scope of the study is limited to the extraction of Malunggay leaves and presidential term of the extract in mice in different doses. The platelet is the main blood cell under investigation.
