Moringa is a tree that was originally native to India, other parts of Asia and Africa. Due to it’s health benefits it is now grown all over the world.
Locals in the lesser developed communities, who do not have access to pharmaceutical medicine, use this plant to keep them healthy.
Moringa is also known as the ‘Miracle Tree’, ‘Miracle Moringa’, ‘The Vitamin Tree’, ‘The Never Die Tree’ and ‘The Tree of Life’ due to it being one of the most nutrient dense plants on earth.
All of the plant is used, from the stem to the leaves, the seeds, the bark and the roots all used in different ways.
