Moringa – "The Miracle Tree"

Moringa, often known as the "miracle tree" or "horseradish tree," is native to northwest India and was first described around 2000 BC as a medicinal herb. Moringa is also known as "Nebadaye," which, in many African languages, translates to “never die." This is likely because it is a very resilient tree that many Ayurvedic practitioners have used for centuries for its nutritional and health benefits.

Organic moringa has been called the "miracle tree" for good reason. All parts of the plant can be used, and our pure moringa powder is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids; it also contains 46 antioxidants.

The Latin name for the Miracle Tree is Moringa oleifera. It is a member of the Moringaceae family and is known by many Sanskrit names. These Sanskrit names, each representative of the moringa, demonstrate different properties of the tree:

• Shobhanjana – Very auspicious tree
• Shigru—has strong, piercing qualities
• Teekshnagandha – Strong and pungent odor

Moringa has several important properties and qualities. In Sanskrit, these are known as "gunas":

• Guna: Light/laghu, dry/ruksha, sharp/tikshana, fluid/sara
• Post: Digestive metabolic state (vipak): pungent/katu
• Virya: Heating/ushna
• Taste (rasa): Pungent/katu, Tikta (bitter)
