Other Name(s):
Moringa oleifera; Drumstick Tree; Horseradish Tree; Ben Oil Tree;
Moringa oleifera is a tree native to the Indian subcontinent but has naturalised throughout many arid and semiarid regions in Africa. It can grow up to 12 meters tall but farmers typically keep them pruned to more easily harvest the leaves. The seeds are also harvested to make Ben Oil. The trees are highly drought resistant but thrive especially well in tropical Limpopo.

Moringa Leaf Powder is very simple and easy to make! The freshly harvested leaves are air dried in the shade (sometimes dehydrators are used to speed things up) and then pulverised into a fine powder.
Moringa Leaf Powder contains compounds called phytochelatins. These are natural compounds which bind to heavy metals and prevent them from harming the plant. There have been some animal studies showing that they are effective for removing lead from the blood of rats and mice but further research is required to determine if this is a safe, effective detoxification strategy for humans. Moringa seeds have been studied extensively for use in wastewater treatment. They can remove heavy metals, and clarify water effectively with their coagulating proteins.
