Should anyone NOT take or use moringa leaves?+
Anyone pregnant or taking medication should always consult their physician, specialist, naturapath or ayurvedic doctor before consuming our Moringa leaf powder, capsules or tea (or any other suppliments for that matter!). We have researched Moringa extensively and the following are our suggestions for extra precausion and informed research before taking Moringa. - If you are pregnant - Moringa itself is highly recommended once you have your baby for ultimate nutrient transfer and a boost in your milk supply, Some research studies however show that there is a chemical in the root, bark, and flowers of the Moringa tree that might make the uterus contract. Although none of these parts of the tree are ever mixed in with the leaves we crush into powder, we would not take a chance with our own growing family and want the same precaution for you.
- If you are treating low thyroid function with Levothyroxine. Moringa might decrease how much levothyroxine your body absorbs. Taking moringa along with levothyroxine might decrease the effectiveness of levothyroxine. Compounds in the moringa leaf may aid the thyroid function, but people should not take it in combination with this drug.
- If you are taking medications that might be broken down by the liver: Moringa extract may decrease how quickly this happens, which could lead to various side effects or complications.
- If you take Diabetes medications: Diabetes medications are used to lower blood sugar, which moringa also does effectively. It is vital to ensure blood sugar levels do not get too low.
- If you take high blood pressure medication: Moringa has shown to be effective at lowering blood pressure. Taking moringa alongside other drugs that lower blood pressure may result in it becoming too low.

How is Moringa loos leaf or powder tea prepared, and what is the recommended brewing process?+
Preparing Moringa leaf or powder tea is a simple and enjoyable process, perfectly aligning with the pursuit of a natural and health-conscious lifestyle. Here’s a detailed guide to making the most out of your Moringa tea experience:
Moringa Loose Leaf Tea Preparation:
- Boil Water: Start by boiling water. For the best taste and to preserve the nutrients in Moringa leaves, the water should be hot but not boiling when poured over the leaves. Aim for about 70-80°C (160-175°F).
- Measure the Leaves: Use about 1-1.5 teaspoons of Moringa leaves for each cup of tea. This can be adjusted based on personal preference for strength.
- Steep the Leaves: Place the Moringa leaves in a tea infuser or directly into a teapot. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let them steep for about 3-5 minutes. The steeping time can be adjusted depending on how strong you like your tea.
- Strain and Serve: If you’ve used a tea infuser, simply remove it from your cup. If you’ve steeped the leaves directly in a pot, strain the tea into a cup. Enjoy your Moringa tea as it is, or enhance it with a bit of honey, lemon, or ginger for added flavor.
Moringa Powder Tea Preparation:
- Boil Water: As with the loose leaf, start with hot water that’s just below boiling.
- Mix Moringa Powder: Use about half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of Moringa powder per cup. Put the powder into the cup or a teapot.
- Make a Paste: Before adding all the water, pour a little hot water into the powder and mix it into a paste. This step helps to avoid clumps and ensures a smooth texture.
- Add Water and Stir: Gradually add the rest of the hot water while stirring. This will evenly distribute the Moringa powder.
- Let it Settle: Allow the tea to sit for a minute so that any un-dissolved particles settle at the bottom.
- Enjoy: Sip your Moringa powder tea. It can be enjoyed as is or with a natural sweetener, like honey.
Brewing Tips:
- Water Temperature: For both loose leaf and powder, using water that is too hot can destroy some of the delicate nutrients in Moringa. Therefore, a temperature just below boiling is ideal.
- Quality Matters: Ensure that you're using high-quality, organic Moringa, like the products from allmoringatree.com, to get the best taste and nutritional benefits.
- Experiment with Flavors: Moringa has a unique, slightly earthy taste. Feel free to experiment with other natural flavors to find your preferred combination.
- Regular Consumption: For maximum health benefits, incorporate Moringa tea into your daily routine.
Remember, Moringa tea is more than just a beverage; it's a journey towards well-being, brimming with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Enjoy the holistic benefits of this miraculous tree with every sip!
Can you freeze moringa powder?+
Yes, you can freeze Moringa powder to help extend its shelf life and preserve its nutrients. Freezing slows down the oxidation process, keeping the powder fresh for a longer period. Be sure to store it in an airtight container or freezer bag to protect it from moisture and freezer burn. When you’re ready to use it, allow the powder to thaw naturally at room temperature to avoid condensation forming inside the container.
