MORINGA SEEDS PRODUCE OIL
Magnificent Moringa seed oil, similar in form to olive oil, is valuable throughout
the world, and highly regarded throughout history for its multi-use abilities.
Because Moringa seeds come from the most nutrient and medicinally dense tree
in the world, the oil contains the same qualities.
Appreciated and treasured, the oil can be used for dozens of life improving
measures. It’s a great first aid antiseptic all-purpose, speeding up healing for
bacterial and fungal skin infections, burns, eczema, canker sores and pimples;
it also provides pain relief, anti-itch, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Good news! This valuable commodity is free for those who grow Moringa trees.
The seeds can be cold pressed or boiled to expel the oil. The “seedcake” that
remains after oil abstraction, is then used for easy water purification. It’s also
used in soap making by molding into bars when combined with powdered leaves.
Moringa oil can be used as a nourishing daily skin oil, lip balm, for cracked and
hurting feet from lack of shoes, and for scalp massages to kill lice and other
organism that attach to the scalp. As more trees are planted, and more seeds
are harvested, unused Moringa oil lasts for years and can be stored for drought
season and sold at market for profit.
Family members will reach for the Moringa oil dozens of times a day, for different
reasons, many yet to be discovered. Communities will grow accustomed to this
free resource that is useful in such a variety of ways, for an array of situations,
like machine lubrication, animal care, wounds, sores, snake, bug, or other bites,
or as a vaginal lubricant to manage yeast and other infections.
