Moringa (Moringa oleifera) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and some African folk practices. In the context of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the "Spleen" refers not only to the anatomical organ but also to a broader set of digestive and metabolic functions. While moringa is not a classical TCM herb, its use to support digestion and general vitality aligns with the TCM concept of nurturing the Spleen, which governs transformation and transportation of nutrients.

Traditional uses of moringa include promoting digestion, alleviating gastrointestinal discomfort, and improving energy levels—functions associated with the Spleen in TCM. In Ayurveda, moringa is considered a tonic that balances the body's systems and supports digestion. However, these applications are based on empirical observations rather than scientific studies.

There is limited scientific research directly linking moringa to improved Spleen function, either in the biomedical or TCM sense. Some studies suggest moringa has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and may support general health, but there is insufficient evidence to specifically claim that it supports the Spleen as understood in TCM or Western medicine. Thus, its use for this purpose is primarily justified by tradition rather than scientific validation.
