Moringa Oleifera More Than Just A Tree, A Lifestyle

A True Testimonial

Moringa Leaf Powder Replaces Diabetes and High Blood Pressure Medication

I have used Moringa Tea Powder for my diabetes and high blood pressure.  At my last doctor check-up my doctor said he could lower my medication because my sugar level was better and my blood  pressure was much better.  I told him I had not been taking my medication  When he asked my what I have been doing for it, I told, “I take Moringa now instead of pills.”

What is Moringa Oleifera?

The Moringa Tree is a plant native to parts of Africa and Asia renowned for its nutritional value – each leaf contains seven times the vitamin C of oranges, four times the vitamin A of carrots, four times the calcium of milk, three times the potassium of bananas and twice the protein of yogurt.

Moringa oleifera, the most widely cultivated species of moringa, is a multipurpose tree native to the Himalayan foothills in northwestern India. According to the ancient Indian medicinal tradition of ayurveda, the leaves of the Moringa tree can prevent 300 diseases – and modern science confirms these claims have credence.

The somewhat tattered-looking tree grows fast, is resistant to drought and almost all of its parts are edible, tasty and highly nutritious – which include leaves, leaf powder, pods, seeds, flowers, roots and bark offering a complement of protein, calcium, minerals, iron and several important vitamins.

Interestingly (and tragically), Moringa grows in subtropical areas where malnutrition is most prevalent – particularly in West Africa. The problem is, the people living in these regions are largely unaware of the nutritional goldmine sitting in their backyards.

Bloom to Life

Moringa Flowers

Moringa oleifera flowers are creamy white with yellow stems. It blooms from April to September. It is edible, mixed into salads or fried in butter and eaten as a snack. Another way is to make delicious tea.

In traditional medicine these flowers are brewed into a very strong tea or pressed into juice to treat urinary infection, cold symptoms, as a supplement for breast-feeding women to increase the milk flow, to support weight loss because it contain strong diuretic, and also strengthening the liver function. Flowers are considered to be useful for impotence, lack of sexual desire, and other sexual dysfunctions.

Recent studies in modern medicine showed that Moringa flowers can be used to reduce swelings.
