Moringa has been used since 150B.C. by ancient kings and queens in their diet for mental alertness and healthy skin.

Antiquity;  The indigenous knowledge and use of  Moringa  is  referenced  in  more  than  80 countries and known in over 200 local languages. Moringa has been used by various  societies  {Roman,  Greek,  Egyptian, and Indian to mention a few} for thousands of years with writings dating as far back as 150 AD. The history of Moringa dates back to 150 B.C. Historical proofs reveal that ancient kings and queens used Moringa leaves and fruit in their  diet  to  maintain  mental  alertness  and healthy skin. Ancient Maurian warriors of India were  fed  with  Moringa  Leaf  Extract  in  the warfront. The Elixir drink was believed to add them extra energy and relieve them of the stress and  pain  incurred  during  war.  These  brave soldiers were the ones who defeated “Alexander” the Great. ” {17, 32,  44 }.

Traditional  Medicine  ;  Moringa  has  been used in the traditional medicine passed down for centuries in many cultures around the word, for  skin  infections, anemia, anxiety, asthma, blackheads, blood impurities,    bronchitis, catarrh, chest congestion, cholera, conjunctivitis, cough, diarrhea, eye and ear infections,  fever,  glandular,  swelling, headaches, abnormal blood pressure, hysteria, pain in joints, pimples, psoriasis, respiratory disorders,  scurvy,  semen  deficiency,  sore throat,  sprain,  tuberculosis,  for  intestinal worms, lactation ,diabetes and  pregnancy The healing properties of Moringa oil, have been documented  by  ancient cultures.  Moringa  oil has tremendous cosmetic value and is used in body and hair care as a moisturizer and skin conditioner. Moringa oil has been used in skin preparations and ointments since Egyptian times.  {17, 33, 38, 39, 44 }.

The most nutrients tree in the world

Moringa highest absorption carbon dioxide emission.

The rate of absorption or assimilation of carbon dioxide by the Moringa tree is twenty times (20x) higher than any other tree.

Moringa highest absorption carbon dioxide emission. Study on Moringa and global warming revealed that 1 person emits 320kg of CO2/yr, it takes 23 Japanese Cedar trees takes 50 years to absorb this amount of CO2; it takes 2 Moringa trees 2 years to absorb this amount and 1 family car emits 2300kg of CO2/yr, it takes 160 Japanese Cedar trees 50 years to absorb this amount of CO2, it  takes  10  Moringa  trees 2  years  etc  (Muriel,  2010).

Advancing the Science of Climate Change:
A strong, credible body of scientific evidence shows that climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems, concludes this panel report from America’s Climate Choices suite of studies. As decision-makers respond to these risks, the nation’s scientific enterprise can contribute both by continuing to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change, and by improving and expanding the options available to limit the magnitude of climate change and adapt to its impacts.

To make this possible, the nation needs a comprehensive, integrated, and flexible climate change research enterprise that is closely linked with action-oriented programs at all levels.

According to a Japanese study (Villafuerte, and Villafurte-Abonal, 2009) the rate of absorption or assimilation of carbon dioxide by the Moringa tree is twenty times (20x) higher than that of general vegetation and fifty times (50x) higher when compared to the Japanese cedar tree.

The Moringa tree, therefore, will be a useful tool in the prevention of global warming in that: One (1) moringa tree will be equivalent to the effectiveness of fifty (50) Japanese cedar trees in absorbing carbon dioxide (Villafuerte, and Villafurte-Abonal 2009). For example, If we expanded Moringa from one hundred thousand (100,000) hectares worldwide to one million (1,000,000) hectares, that would equate to five (5) gigatonnes of CO2e being sequestered.

Effects of Moringa on Growth Yield Snap Beans

Effects of Moringa on Growth Yield Snap Beans.Effects of Moringa on Growth Yield Snap Beans.

Extracts from fresh Moringa leaves could  be used to produce an effective plant growth enhancer, increasing yield.

ABSTRACT:
Two  field  experiments  were  carried  out  to  evaluate  the  effects  of  Moringa  leaf  extract  on  the growth,  yield and yield components  of snap bean. The results  showed  that Moringa  leaf extract applied at 11, 20, 33 and 50% concentration to snap bean plants at 10 days after emergence significantly (P = 0.05) increased vegetative growth, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry matter (shoot and root), yield components  and fresh pod yield. The snap bean response  to increasing  Moringa extract  concentration  was  quadratic  with  respect  to  plant  height,  leaf  area,  leaf  number,  leaf chlorophyll   content,   shoot   dry  matter   and  root  dry  matter.   However,   Moringa   leaf  extract significantly (P = 0.05) reduced shoot and root water contents. Due to the Moringa extracts-induced increase in vegetative growth, leaf chlorophyll content, yield components and yield of snap beans, it was concluded that Moringa leaf extract could be used to enhance the growth and development  of snap beans.

Since  animal  protein  is  more  expensive than plant protein, legumes are important in less developed countries for the supply of relatively inexpensive proteins for rural and urban populations. However, grain yield of commercial crops of common beans is less than 1.0 tons/ha in most developing countries. In order to meet the rising food demand, emphasis has to be put on improving yields per hectare. This can be achieved  through  plant  breeding, biotechnology and application of plant growth regulators to positively modify plant growth to economic advantage.

Extracts  from fresh Moringa  leaves could  be used to produce an  effective  plant  growth  enhancer,  increasing yield  by  25-30%  for  nearly  any  crop  [5].  The active growth  enhancing  substances  in Moringa leaf  extract  are  reported  to  be  zeatin, dihydrozeatin and isopentyladenine which are natural  (endogenous)  cytokinins  [5,6].  The moringa  leaf is also composed  of proteins, minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates and phenolics.

Moringa seeds reduce synthetic chemicals

Moringa seeds reduce synthetic chemicals.Moringa seeds reduce synthetic chemicals.

Moringa seeds used for separation of different materials.

Separation processes are very important in mining industries and the new knowledge could contribute to reduce the needs for expensive synthetic chemicals.

Previous studies have shown that the extracts from seeds of the Moringa oleifera tree can be used for water purification.

In a new study, researchers from Uppsala University show that the Moringa seeds can also be used for separation of different materials.

Moringa trees are known as ‘miracle’ trees because of their many uses as food and as a source of oil. Seeds from the trees are also used to purify water. The special properties of the protein in the seeds have been studied by a group from Uppsala University in collaboration with the Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, and the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France.

New results published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science suggest that Moringa seeds could be used for separation of different materials rather than just removal of all impurities. Separation processes are very important in mining industries to remove valuable material from waste. This further application of a natural product would reduce the needs for expensive synthetic chemicals. Continue reading

First International Organic Moringa certification in Cambodia

First International Organic Moringa certification in Cambodia.First International Organic Moringa certification in Cambodia.

All Products of Baca Villa are International Organic Certificated.

Basket-Baca-Villa Productst

All Products are International Organic Certificated

The following products are officially organic:

  • Moringa Tea Sachets
  • Moringa Tea Dry Leaves
  • Moringa Powder
  • Moringa Tablets
  • Moringa Oil
  • Moringa Seeds

There are many misunderstandings about the terms “organic” and “chemical free”.

Chemical free is a marketing term that is known to be misleading. In many studies, it has been the subject of criticism. (Wikipedia – Chemical free)

Organic farming does not allow synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Organic farming features practices that promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity. (Wikipedia – Organic food)

The organic market is a fast-growing market, especially in Asia, Europe, US and Canada. In the US there was a 40 percent growth in 2014.

An organic certification is good news and very important for the development of the agriculture in Cambodia and the farmers income. A good organic farmer earns more compared to a conventional farmer. About 80 percent of people in Cambodia are farmers, so many opportunities for them.

For Baca Villa Productions Co Ltd the certification is a big step forward in making Organic Moringa for Cambodian businesses and for export to foreign countries.

With many thanks to all the employees of Baca-Villa Productions Co Ltd!
