Moringa Tree

Moringa oleifera is native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas and is a truly incredible discovery.

The tree is often referred to as “The Miracle Tree” and “Mother’s Best Friend”, which is understandable when you learn that Moringa contains a unique combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that make it one of the most nutritious plants ever discovered.

Throughout the world, scientists are praising Moringa as a nutritional miracle due to its incredible balance of nutrients. While being newly discovered by the scientific world, Moringa has been treasured by many societies for thousands of years. In recent times the benefits of Moringa have not been fully realised because modern cooking methods have been destroying the nutrients packed in this amazing tree.

Humanitarian aid groups such as UNICEF, World Vision and many others are now supporting the use of “The Miracle Tree” to help under-nourished people in parts of Africa.

Moringa is widely used by pregnant and lactating women, hence the name “Mother’s Best Friend”. Not only does Moringa’s natural blend of nutrients help nourish both mother and baby during pregnancy, it also helps increase the quality, and the quantity of milk produced by the mother.

Whilst most fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of only one nutrient, Moringa is a powerhouse of many.

Moringa Leaves

Moringa leaves are exceptionally nutritious. When fresh, they are rich in vitamin C. When carefully dried, gram for gram Moringa leaves contain 24 times the iron of spinach, 16 times the calcium of milk, 9 times the vitamin A of carrots, many times the potassium of bananas, and every essential amino acid your body needs.

Antioxidants

Moringa contains 46 powerful antioxidants - compounds that protect the body against the destructive effects of free radicals by neutralizing them before they can cause cellular damage and disease.

Moringa Seeds

In some parts of the world Moringa seeds are used to purify water due to their ability to remove harmful material. It is believed that the same process also takes place in the body when Moringa seeds are consumed.
