Moringa (<i>moringa oleifera) is supposed to be a miracle plant. Is anyone familiar with this plant and has anyone made a tincture from the powdered form of it? I just received my order of 16 oz’s of the organic Moringa powder and am thinking of making a tincture of it. Is this something others have had success with or experience with?</i>

I have not done a tincture with Mooring but we grow them on our property here in Central Florida and I would love to learn specifically how to use this other than feed for chickens.

I’ll do a lesson on it.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

That would be very helpful to learn what you can tell us about Moringa Doctor Jones. We are trying to grow some from seed and keep in our greenhouse this year. We are also going to try growing some outside since we live in Zone 8B and have learned that it may come back year after year even though it may freeze during our spurts of cold in the winter. It has helped tremendously with Arthritus pain in capsule form. So I am hoping the tincture form will be even better.

I have a smoothy recipe with powdered Moringa 🙂
I’ve had a tree that I can keep alive in the largest pot I could buy but it won’t be harvested for leaves as they drop too quickly to take and flowers drop before a seed develops 🙁 Sad … I don’t over water it but I guess it is unhappy getting watered in a pot. Any growing suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Moringa is touted as a super food, completely edible.

We have discovered Moringa loves the hot greenhouse and grows like crazy in it. We had 8 of 10 seeds germinate and now have small trees about a foot tall. The more you prune them the bushier they get. Will most likely be able to harvest leaves next spring from them. So will be buyng the powder form for now for tinctures and smoothies and capsules. It really helps with arthritis and dozens of other health issues.

Moringa is amazeballs!!!! It is incredibly nutritious, has all the amino acids, tons of vitamins and minerals – you can feed it to your animals (all kinds!), or yourself! I wouldn’t powder, as the more surface area you have exposed to air the quicker it degrades – we harvest the leaves and dry them, and then just bag them and keep them. I’ll throw a handful in my morning smoothie, the DH throws a handful in his scrambled eggs, you can throw a handful in any sauce, soup, anything! They have a really deep tap root and are happiest kept a little on the dry side….they will freeze in the winter, but once established they will come back just fine. We started ours in the greenhouse and we have to chop tons of it off to keep it from pushing up the roof! It really is a super food. I’ll just grab a handful when I walk by and eat them fresh. They have a really peppery flavor that I find really yummy!
