The Moringa tree originates from India and has been known there for 5000 years. For almost as long, people have been aware of the health-promoting effects of the leaves of this tree. The leaves can be consumed raw, cooked, or dried and ground - primarily, of course, as a soothing tea. Among other things, Moringa tea contains seven times more Vitamin C than oranges, four times more Vitamin A than carrots, four times more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12, D3, and E, magnesium, potassium, zinc, 18 of 20 essential amino acids, as well as 46 antioxidants that protect against free radicals.
