Moringa Seed Oil

“I was soooo excited when I saw the Moringa seed oil!  I had been searching for a moringa leaf supplement for a long time and gave up.  There are many who offer it but I have yet to find someone who can answer questions about where it comes from and how it’s processed.  I’m soooo happy that you’re offering it.  

Can you offer any advice on how to take it.  How many drops to take?  Should it be diluted?  When to take it?  How often to take it, etc.  I’m very excited for this one!

Thanks for the great questions about Moringa seed oil!  

• When applying Moringa oil to the skin to treat acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, collagen degeneration, dark spots, uneven complexion; or to increase hydration; or to treat cuts, bruises, and abrasions; apply Moringa seed oil neat.  It can be used alone, or small amounts of essential oils can be added for a specific purpose.  I intend to experiment with pure Moringa oil for a few weeks, just to get a feel for the oil and its healing properties.  After that I will begin adding it into other products and blending with it.
• Moringa seed has an amazing ability to clean toxins out of water, and is used for this purpose in some cultures where potable water is in short supply.  Likewise, it cleans toxins out of the bloodstream, and so should be taken internally in low doses until you know how many cleansing symptoms your body is going to experience.  I would suggest beginning with 1/4 teaspoon twice daily.  If symptoms become uncomfortable, cut it back even further until your body becomes comfortable with that level of consumption.  After 4 or 5 days, if you have experienced no symptoms, you may try to raise your consumption level to 1/2 teaspoon twice daily.  Again, follow your body’s signals to decide if and when you should increase your daily dose.  Some people may benefit by working all the way up to a full teaspoon twice daily.  For others, that might be too much.  Children should cut the adult suggested dosage in half, gradually working their way up to 1/2 teaspoon daily.
• Moringa is a nutritional powerhouse that is packed with 25 bio-available vitamins and minerals, 47 antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatories, 30% vegetable protein and all 8 essential amino acids. When compared by weight, Moringa contains 7x the Vitamin C found in oranges, 4x the Vitamin A of carrots, 4x the calcium of milk, 3x the potassium of bananas, and essential minerals including zinc, magnesium, and iron.
