The Moringa tree (Moringa oleifera), also known as the miracle tree or drumstick tree, is native to Northwestern India. It’s widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas and used all over the world.

The benefits of Moringa are vast. They’re well known in traditional medicine throughout the world and they’ve been extensively studied.
