What Is Moringa?

Moringa, or Moringa oleifera, is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to the Indian subcontinent and parts of Africa. Every part of the plant—leaves, seeds, pods, bark—has been used for centuries in traditional medicine.

Moringa Plant

But it's the leaves that pack the real punch.

🌿 Moringa Leaves: The Superleaf

  • Rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex
  • High in protein and amino acids (rare for leafy greens)
  • Loaded with antioxidants like quercetin and chlorogenic acid
  • Anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties

When dried and brewed, these leaves become moringa tea—a nourishing, caffeine-free herbal infusion with grassy, slightly earthy flavor notes.

Health Benefits of Moringa Tea

Moringa is more than a trendy buzzword—science backs its many benefits. Here's why nutritionists and herbalists call it a must-have superleaf:

✅ 5. Liver Detox Support

Chlorophyll and polyphenols assist the liver in cleansing the body of toxins.

Thanks to iron and B vitamins, moringa tea can promote a natural energy boost—without caffeine.
