Moringa is considered a superfood and is one of the most nutritious plants in the world. It contains vitamin C, iron, beta-carotene, calcium and potassium as well as essential amino acids, antioxidants and protein. In its countries of origin, the plant has therefore been used in a variety of ways for centuries: in capsule form, as food, medicine and energy source. "The moringa plant has about seven times as much vitamin C as an orange, 17 times the calcium in milk and 25 times more iron than spinach," explains Cornelia Wallner-Frisee, doctor and president of the aid project Africa Amini Alama.
The organization includes a hospital ward, educational, social and health projects, schools, an orphanage and four water projects - and the cultivation of moringa trees. With the purchase of the handmade Moringa products in the form of capsules and teas, one supports the Maasai and Meru women at the foot of Mount Meru in Tanzania.
Moringa products from fair and sustainable production are available online at "The African Healing Journey”Or in the Saint Charles pharmacy at Gumpendorferstraße 30, 1060 Vienna.
