Moringa Powder

What It Is
Moringa powder is made by drying and finely grinding the leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree, also known as the “drumstick tree.” The leaves are carefully shade-dried to preserve nutrients and then powdered. This green powder has been used for centuries as a natural food supplement due to its rich nutritional profile.

In Ayurveda, moringa is known as Shigru. It is valued for its Ushna (warming) potency and Tikta–Katu rasa (bitter and pungent taste). Traditionally, Shigru is used to balance Kapha and Vata doshas and to support digestion, metabolism, and joint health. Ayurvedic texts mention moringa for its ability to cleanse the body, support circulation, and promote overall strength when taken in proper quantity.

Benefits
Moringa powder supports the immune system, improves digestion, and helps maintain natural energy levels. It is rich in antioxidants, iron, calcium, and plant protein, making it useful for daily nutrition. Regular consumption is believed to support bone strength, support healthy blood sugar levels, and reduce everyday inflammation.

Uses

Moringa powder can be mixed into warm water, smoothies, or fresh juices. It can be added to soups, dals, curries, or sprinkled over salads for a nutritional boost. Many people also mix it with honey or lemon water and consume it in the morning for better absorption.

Recommended Quantity
½ to 1 teaspoon per day is sufficient for daily use. Beginners should start with ½ teaspoon and gradually increase. Consuming more than the recommended amount is unnecessary and may cause digestive discomfort.
