My neighbor has a Moringa tree. I have witnessed it grow as it was planted right beside our gate. When it started to blossom its first ripe leaves, our neighbor would always allow us to trim a bouquet to use for cooking. It has grown so high and became so lush that one day, our neighbor decided to chop off the tree. When I've learned about this, I let out a huge "NOOOOOOO!!!" ala- telenovela style but alas, it wasn't my tree to begin with so I have no right to stop him. If ever my neighbor's reading my blog, I would like to tell him that he has just killed a magic tree--You don't know how precious that thing is. In fact, you can even start a beauty business with it!

Moringa (aka Malunggay) is considered as a super food, (I think the diagram is enough to tell you why) and the Philippines has the best Moringa specie in the world. (There are around 13 species of Moringa around the world, I believe) Recent studies have shown that apart from its tremendous health benefits, it is also a potent skin care ingredient for it is anti- inflammatory, anti- aging, a good source of antioxidants, (These tiny leaves are big on antioxidants for it has 30 kinds in it!) and rich in Sulfur, a vital component in collagen production. With these benefits in mind and the tons of Moringa- based supplements and skin care products sprouting left and right, Moringa is undoubtedly the next big thing in beauty and wellness.
Good thing we have an abundance of Moringa in our country, and it goes without saying that we can enjoy its benefits without putting a dent on our wallet. One great example is Moringa O2: It is a budget- friendly skin care line made with the goodness of Moringa, and blended with Olive Oil and Omega. Currently, it offers a face and body Herbal Soap, Herbal Moisturizing Lotion, (which smells sooo good, by the way) and the multi- awarded Herbal Facial Toner.
