All Things Moringa Book

The Moringa tree is one of the most incredible plants I have ever encountered. This may sound sensationalist, but Moringa’s nutritional and medicinal properties has the potential to end malnutrition, starvation, as well as prevent and heal many diseases and maladies worldwide. Moringa is truly a miracle plant, and a divine gift for the nourishing and healing of man. This plant has so many uses and special features, it is hard to know where to begin sharing what I have learned about this wonderful plant.

Moringa is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Moringaceae. The genus Moringa in turn is made up of 12 species. The species most common, and which is the main subject of this book is the speices called “Moringa Oleifera.” Moringa Oleifera is found in many tropical and sub-tropical regions. Moringa can be grown in the even the harshest and driest of soils, where barely anything else will grow. In fact, one of the nicknames of Moringa is “never die” due to its incredible ability to survive harsh weather and even drought.

The most incredible thing about Moringa is the amount of nutritional and medicinal chemicals and compounds found in this plant. The chart below will give you a quick view of some of the notable nutrients contained in this plant.

As seen in the chart above, not only does Moringa contain vitamin A, vitamin C, Calcium, Potassium, Iron, and Protein, it contains it in high amounts that are easily digested and assimilated by the human body. The chart above highlights some of the commonly known nutrients needed by the human body. Moringa has a host of anti-oxidants, in combinations which are highly beneficial and easily absorbed. Moringa is said to contain 539 known compounds which according to traditional African and Indian medicine (Ayurvedic) is said to prevent of 300 diseases and maladies.

Moringa Amphora

Moringa Amphora - From the Tomb of Maiherpri:18th Dynasty Jars, Vases & Bowls This is especially significant, since the expensive oils which some of them held were usually among the first items to be stolen because they did not keep long. Some of the dockets attached to the jars indicated that they had contained b3k-oil, a very expensive commodity made from Moringa nuts. The calcite vase seen on the far right in this plate still contained about three quarts of rancid oil when it was discovered.

Jars, Vases & Bowls

This is especially significant, since the expensive oils which some of them held were usually among the first items to be stolen because they did not keep long. Some of the dockets attached to the jars indicated that they had contained b3k-oil, a very expensive commodity made from moringa nuts. The calcite vase seen on the far right below in this plate still contained about three quarts of rancid oil when it was discovered.

The oil from the Moringa Oleifera nut was used by the ancient Egyptians. This extremely fast growing woody species (Moringa oleifera, Moringaceae)  could open up a new category of crops: “vegetable trees.” It also produces masses of very small leaflets that are boiled and eaten like spinach. Being so small, the leaflets sun dry in just a few hours and can then be put in a jar and stored for the off-season, a time when dietary minerals and vitamins are often scarce. Moringa seeds could be employed to make water safer for drinking and cooking.

Papyrus of Maiherpri

Maiherperi was an Ancient Egyptian noble of Nubian origin buried in the Valley of the Kings, in tomb KV36. He probably lived during the rule of Thutmose IV, and received the honour of a burial in the Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis. His name can be translated as Lion of the Battlefield,[1]. Amongst his titles were Child of the Nursery and Royal Fan-Bearer of the Right Hand Side. There is speculation that the first title signified that he grew up in the royal nursery as a prince of a vassal territory, or perhaps was the son of a lesser wife or concubine of the pharaoh.[2] He was among the first during the New Kingdom to hold the second title, and was literally true in that he was by the pharaoh’s side, likely as an advisor or bodyguard.[3] This same title was also used to denote the Viceroys of Kush later in the New Kingdom.[4]

Tomb of Maiherpri

In Maiherperi’s tomb, a papyrus was found depicting him with literally “blackish” skin, leading scholars to believe he was in fact Nubian or of Nubian descent.[5] The papyrus in question was the Book of the Dead, in the eyes of O’Connor and Cline “[c]ertainly the most famous and arguably the most beautiful” Book of the Dead.[6].

The mummy was unwrapped by Georges Daressy in March 1901,[7] revealing a mummy whose dark skin matched that depicted on his copy of the Book of the Dead, and thought that this was likely Maiherperi’s natural colour, unchanged by the mummification process.[8] He also had tightly curled, woolly hair, which turned out a wig that had been glued to his scalp.[9]

MoringaMoringa – The Best Brain Activator

Hemoglobin content of the blood is an important issue for the health status of the individual. Low hemoglobin content not only leads to anemia, it may also decrease the mental alertness of the person. Moringa, the richest source of iron helps to elevate the hemoglobin level in blood and helps in brain activation

The IQ level of the individual is of more important in this fast growing busy world. Each person will be recognized only if he/she is smart in their work. This will happen only if their brain is alert to grasp the matters.

Regular supply of oxygen is the key factor for the brain function. Hemoglobin is the main component of the blood which is needed for the transportation of the oxygen. If oxygen content of the blood increases then the working capacity of the brain increases. This will be achieved only when the iron content of the blood increases as it is the unique part of hemoglobin.

Moringa contains 25 times the more iron content than that of spinach and the absorption of iron in the form of Moringa products is greater as Moringa is the natural product. Body can absorb natural substance readily when compared to synthetic substance. Naturally the bioavailability of the iron in the form of Moringa is good. Along with the iron, Moringa contains Zinc which will improve the brain function. The hemoglobin content of the blood also plays an important role against the infection, which implies that the immune power of the individual gets improved when Moringa is ingested.

Moringa capsules are made using the pure Moringa Leaf Powder. Moringa leaf powder is nutrient rich and a vitamin supplement. Our Moringa Capsules are made from 100% vegetarian capsules. School and college students, who awake in late nights, can eat 2 or 3 capsules per day to relieve the stress.

The high mineral and vitamin contents present in the Moringa leaf powder is a gift for pregnant women and mothers with new born babies. More than 40 basic nutrients should be present in our daily food intake. The most important thing about the nutrients is that they should be from a natural source. Then only, our body will absorb the nutrients. The vitamin and calcium supplements that we take are not fully absorbed by the body. This is mainly because human body can differentiate between the natural nutrients and the synthetic ones. And moreover, the Vitamins or Minerals, when intake separate, they won’t help much. In other words, the human body will reap the benefit only when the Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and the other nutrients are feed together. India’s ancient tradition of ayurveda medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with the leaves of the Moringa tree. Moringa Tree Leaf is organic and absolutely safe. There are no known side effects. Moringa capsules provide the necessary vitamins and mineral supplements for them.
