The Other Miracle Herb

Moringa Oleifera is simply the most amazing plant/tree to have been discovered in Ghana, in the last decade. Scientist have confirmed that the leaves from this tree are packed with incredible nutritious value that can strengthen our bodies and prevent many diseases.

I became interested in Moringa when I learned that it was effective against diabetes and high blood pressure, the two illnesses afflicting many of our elders today.  As it turns out, my mother is one of the many with diabetes, so I purchased a pack and sent it to her.  I simply suggested she do as the herbalist instructed, which was, have her sugar levels tested, then take Moringa at least once a day, in a tea, for 7 days and have her sugar levels tested again.  Not only did she notice a decline in her sugar levels, but she boasted of more energy.  My mother, by the way, rarely, if ever, takes herbs, so her elation gave I cause to pause and take a closer look into this marvellous plant.  I soon learned that Moringa is overflowing with properties good for the young and old, man, woman and child.  The tiny leaves of this wonder tree are packed with micro & macro minerals and vitamins which are proven to be very essential for the human growth and optimal performance.  One cup of Moringa tea contains the following:

  • 7x the vitamin C as an orange
  • 3x the potassium as a banana
  • 4x the vitamin A of a carrot
  • 4x the calcium of a glass of milk
  • 2x the protein of a cup of yogurt

Presently Moringa is being given to malnourished children and expectant mothers to insure they receive the vitamins and minerals necessary to promote the growth needed.  But it is suggested as a daily supplement to anyone interested in maintaining good health and a strong immune system.

Moringa has grown in Ghana for centuries and probably widely used by traditional herbalist for much longer, but it has only recently become popularly known, due to the efforts of foreign sponsored NGOs and scientists.  Ghanaians are now becoming educated on its properties and many families have incorporated this herb to supplement their diets.  However, it has not found its way to the world market, probably due to the awesome red tape involved and/or the reluctance of the pharmaceutical society threatened by the sheer magnificence of the tree, and their inability to monopolize and bottle it.  Nevertheless, the underground railroad still operates and Moringa has found its way to North America.
