MORINGA MAKES SOAP

Not only are many people unaware of the importance of hand washing, many don’t
even know how to wash their hands, much less purchase soap that is costly if seen.

Moringa leaves and oil can be turned into a liquid soap cleaning product, that is
easy to make, to teach, and to use.

Moringa liquid soap spread on hands and skin for bathing, will not only clean body

parts and kill germs as efficiently as western soap, but will also add a medicinal anti-

biotic, anti-fungal, antiseptic component that will help clear up skin conditions, skin

growths, rashes, bug bites, scabies, lice, cuts, scrapes, wounds, and reduce and

prevent infections. Washing with Moringa soap will leave an oil residue on the skin

that will serve to repel mosquitos long after. For more efficient mosquito coverage

and skin management, Moringa oil applied like lotion provides further assistance.

Also, by chewing a Moringa twig and using it to scrape plaque from teeth, will

release an anti-septic medicinal juice into the mouth to improve oral health. Also,

leaf powder is a toothpaste substitute, and will re-mineralize vitamin deprived teeth.

The availability of soap provides significant positive consequences for human

health. The Center for Disease Control has said that 50% of all deaths caused by

diarrhea are from lack of hand washing. It’s easy to understand how a permanent

and free Moringa soap supply is a survival game changer for the underserved. Also,

Moringa soap used in rivers will not have a toxic effect on fish and other animals.

Empowering people to be clean, with a clean environment, means fewer airborne

diseases, less human to human contact disease, and less diarrheal and respiratory

issues that lead to sickness, starvation, and death.
