What if there was a tree whose leaves, branches, and roots provided for the health and nourishment of humans and domestic animals by providing medicinal benefits, soil enrichment, and even bio-fuel for cars and machinery?
What if this fast-growing, hardy tree grew naturally in subtropical areas, and what if this amazing tree had ties to Tampa Bay?
The publishers of the Dunndeal Gazettes learned of the Moringa tree, how it has changed and improved lives around the world, and how research in Tampa has contributed to saving lives in third world countries.
USF is currently involved in exciting experiments involving the Moringa tree in the production of bio-fuel, and Morningstar Farms in Dade City is using this multi-purpose tree to educate hungry nations on food production in order to prevent starvation.
Over the next few months, this space will be dedicated to sharing information about the amazing Moringa and how it can be used to improve the quality of life for people everywhere.
Stay tuned for some astounding facts and information as we explore all the Moringa tree has to offer mankind.
In our world of continual hype about perfect products for everything from weight loss to cleaning supplies, it is easy to be skeptical of anything touted as the perfect natural remedy for nearly everything. The upcoming series on the various species of the Moringa promises facts and information to answer any questions or concerns.
For now, please read the review below from the renowned John Hopkins School of Medicine Research on the medical evidence for the Moringa’s nutritional, therapeutic, and prophylactic properties:
Moringa Oleifera: “In fact, the nutritional properties of Moringa are now so well-known that there seems to be little doubt of the substantial health benefit to be realized by consumption of Moringa leaf powder in situations where starvation is imminent. Clearly, much more research is justified, but just as clearly this will be a very fruitful field of endeavor for both basic and applied researchers over the next decade.”
