Introducing Moringa Oleifera

I would like to warmly introduce to you Moringa Oleifera. It is a small, shrub or tree that can reach 12m (36 ft) in height at maturity and can live for up to 20 years. A short but intense life...A life in the fast lane: Moringa is perhaps the fastest-growing of all trees as it can reach 3m (9 ft) in just 10 monthsafter the seed is planted. It has deep roots, and therefore it can survive in dry regions, and a wide-open crown with a single stem.
Moringa is a healer, food magician, beauty and beautician, a plant with surprising water purification capabilities, a best friend and humanitarian who works for so little. It is one of the most usefull trees on earth. Moringa makes a major contribution to human and animal health; in many cases, it can mean the difference between life and death. Absolutely no negative effects to daily consumption of Moringa leaves have ever been reported.
As a healing plant, Moringa is even more amazing. There is much evidence from around the world, from various traditions and cultures that have used this Miracle Tree for so many ailments and troubles.
The leaves are believed to have a stabilizing effect on blood pressure and control glucose levels. They are also used to treat anxiety,diarrhea and inflammation of the colon, skin infections, scurvy, intestinal parasites, and many other conditions
There is no doubt that the pure Moringa Oleifera Tree leaf is the source of incredible health benefits. It's the ultimate, natural, organic, energy and endurance health supplement. There is plenty of information on this web site and others (click on "Resources & Videos" on the left side menu bar) to describe these benefits and the pure, powdered, moringa leaf is the most potent part of the plant.
India's ancient tradition of ayurveda medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with the leaves of the Moringa tree. Gram for gram, Moringa leaves contain:

  • 7 times the vitamin C in oranges

  • 4 times the calcium in milk

  • 4 times the vitamin A in carrots

  • 2 times the protein in milk
  • 3 times the potassium in bananas
