"A promise to healthy life inspired by traditional heritage and noble thoughts"
Moringa was discovered in northern India around 2000 B.C. Royal Vaidyas discovered its medicinal impact, and it became an integral part of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
In India, it is called "Sobhanjana" - The Auspicious Tree.
Moringa leaves are rich in fiber, fat, proteins, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and selenium. They are abundant in vitamins like Vitamin A, B, B1, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, and Vitamin C.
Medicinal Properties: The Moringa tree is anti-diabetic, cardio-protective, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous.
Every part of the Moringa tree is beneficial for humans and animals. It can be used as medicine, food, and for water purification.
Moringa in Sanskrit is "Sigru", meaning "Moves like an arrow".
It has a heating action, pungent and bitter taste, and a post-digestive effect. Sigru has an ability to quickly penetrate tissue layers of the body (dhatu) for deep cleansing.
Due to its bitter and pungent nature, it can balance Kapha dosha and Vata dosha.
Belief that hanging Moringa leaves in front of the house helps to reject bad luck.
In Kerala, leaves are avoided in mid-July to Aug due to increased cyanide content (bitterness) and lower digestive power.
Trees were planted near wells to absorb toxins from soil and atmosphere during the rainy season.
An alkaloid called spirochin found in Moringa leaves is a potential neuro-paralytic toxin. It can cause paralysis and death if consumed in very large quantities.
This plant can bind water in the soil. That way, an area that was short of water can turn into fertile land with an adequate supply of water.
