We would be very interested to hear a few more details of your observations, or your patients'. This may be something which we can encourage someone to perform a rigorous clinical trial upon. If this stands up to close scrutiny, it would be immensely helpful to be able to promote this application in many areas of the world.

This is an application which is suggested as a traditional use in Lowell Fuglie's excellent treatise on Moringa:

Fuglie LJ (1999) The Miracle Tree: Moringa oleifera: Natural Nutrition for the Tropics. Church World Service, Dakar. 68 pp.; revised in 2001 and published as The Miracle Tree: The Multiple Attributes of Moringa, 172 pp.

and also is in the article:

Fabiyi JP, SL Kela, KM Tal, WA Istifanus (1993) Traditional therapy of dracunculiasis in the state of Bauchi - Nigeria. Dakar Med. 38:193-195.

Thank you for this observation.
