Because of the high nutritional value and medicinal qualities, Moringa has been used for hundreds of years to treat a wide range of illness and affliction.
In ancient and post-modern, times food has been used as medicines taken at higher or concentrated levels. This method of treatment served us well especially in light of the many side-effects our ‘modern’ medicines have brought. The renaissance in herbal and food cures has given us the chance to return to a simpler time in human history. While we have lost many of the plants once used and much of the knowledge, it is not too late to restore the health to ourselves, our environment, our planet.
