Moringa tree is a fast growing nutritious vegetable tree, from its leaves,

flowers, seeds, and oil extracts. Its root is just like a Japanese wasabi or

horseradish. The Moringa plant is drought-resistant and grows in practically all

kinds of soils. It propagates by seeds and stem cuttings.

 

Moringa is galactagogue, rubefacient, antiscorbutic, diuretic, stimulant,

purgative, antibiotic, and antifungal. What more could you ask for? It is really

a fantastic and a wonder plant.

 

The Moringa seeds offer a relatively high yield of 36% Ben oil. The oil

contains: 65.7% Oleic acids; 9.3% Palmitic acid; 7.4% Stearic acid; and 8.6%

Behenic acid.

 

The seeds are good for hypertension, gout, asthma, hiccups, cancer, body detox,

and anti-aging. It also helps in increasing sperm count. Oil extracted from

Moringa flowers can also be helpful for arthritic pains, and rheumatic and gouty

joints. Its leaves are also used for hiccups, asthma, gout, backache,

rheumatism, and skin wounds and sores. Moringa leaves are believed to increase

the flow of mother's milk, and good for constipation, ulcers, diabetes, and for

stabilizing blood pressure.

 

Traditional healers may know more about the effectiveness of these herbs..

 

Now, you can call Moringa Oleifera as an eco-friendly miracle tree of the world.

 

Let us plant Moringa. Moringa is one of the easiest plants to grow practically

anywhere-near the sea, in poor soils, dried areas, and can even withstand severe

drought once the plant is established. It is an extremely fast growing tree. The

seed sprouts in a matter of week, and one can plant braches and continues to

thrive. You can get abundant supply of leaves, flowers, and pods within your

reach. Of course, it is natural and understandable that water and fertilizer

make it grow better.

 

The leaves and flowers are nutritious and helps especially for children's

growth. Leaves can be dried and powdered, and mixed with any flour to make

nutritious cake and bread. Fresh leaves are cooked just like any other

vegetables, or be grinded for juice extract. It is recommended that the juice be

boiled for a minute to remove some bitter taste and vegetable smell. Boiled

juice is mixed with milk and honey or sugar. Our PYRO-ENERGEN staffs cook the

grinded leaves with chicken to make a good, tasty, and nutritious soup

practically on every daily meal. Oh, that's because our office fence is

surrounded by plenty of Moringa trees.

 

The ben oil from the seed can be extracted by pressing or mashing it and boiled

with water. Boiling it will make the oil float to the surface of the water.

Scoop it and you can use it as an excellent cooking or lubricating oil.

 

Now, do not throw the mashed seed. You can use it for treating polluted water.

 

According to the old folks and traditional healers, if eaten, grinded seeds are

good for detoxification of heavy toxic metals in the body, although we do not

have any clinical data for it. But certainly, it is way better than those fake

foot detox machines sold worldwide.

 

MORINGA WATER TREATMENT

 

According to some scientists, there are several ways to improve the process of

water treatment with the Moringa seed.

 

Here's the simplest way we knew from old folks:

 

Dried Moringa seed is grinded or mashed to extract Ben oil. The ratio of seed

and water depends on the purification quality and speed. 100-200 seeds to a

liter of water are recommended. Note that bacteria cannot be eradicated by the

moringa process.
