Moringa – the miracle tree

Abstract

Over 5,000 years ago, the Moringa oleifra (MO) tree, which is native to the Northern Indian Himalayan Mountains, was discovered and has since then been considered God’s gift to humanity since it is brimming with a plateau of amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids and so much more which is rare to observe in a single plant. While MO, which is also known as the Miracle Tree, has gained a vital role in the medical and commercial industries, several monarchs had used it to perpetuate their heedfulness and health since herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of therapy known to humankind. In fact, it is believed that MO was fed to the valiant soldiers that gallantly defeated Alexander the Great, to replenish their strength and attenuate their pain and stress.
