Murunga Vithai refers to the seeds of the drumstick tree, botanically known as Moringa oleifera. The seeds are obtained from mature, dried drumstick pods and are round to triangular in shape with a hard outer shell and white kernel inside.
In Siddha, Ayurveda, and folk traditions, Murunga Vithai is valued for its warming, strengthening, and cleansing properties. It is used in powdered form, decoctions, oils, and traditional remedies, and also widely recognized for its nutritional richness.
