● Moringa: The Miracle Tree of Multicultural Origins

Geographical origins

Morin­ga, also known as the “miracle tree”, is native to South Asia, par­ti­cu­lar­ly India and the Hima­layas. Howe­ver, it is grown in many tro­pi­cal and sub­tro­pi­cal regions of the world, inclu­ding Afri­ca, Cen­tral Ame­ri­ca, Sou­theast Asia and, more recent­ly, sou­thern Europe.

History of Consumption

The various parts of the plant, inclu­ding leaves, seeds and roots, have been used for food and medi­ci­nal pur­poses for cen­tu­ries. In India, for example, morin­ga is an essen­tial com­ponent of Ayur­ve­dic medi­cine. The leaves were consu­med to com­bat mal­nu­tri­tion and improve ove­rall health.

Health benefits

Morin­ga is one of the most nutri­tious plants on the pla­net. Its leaves are rich in vita­mins (nota­bly vita­min A, vita­min C and vita­min E), mine­rals (such as cal­cium and iron), pro­teins and antioxi­dants. Its health bene­fits include regu­la­ting blood sugar levels, boos­ting the immune sys­tem, redu­cing inflam­ma­tion, sup­por­ting heart health and detoxi­fying the body. 

Its abi­li­ty to sup­ply such a wide range of nutrients makes it an inva­luable asset to human nutri­tion. Morin­ga leaves, rich in vita­mins and mine­rals, help streng­then the immune sys­tem, offe­ring natu­ral pro­tec­tion against disease. The antioxi­dants in this die­ta­ry sup­ple­ment help com­bat oxi­da­tive stress, pro­tec­ting cells against damage cau­sed by free radicals.

● Guayusa: Energizing Elixir from the Amazon Rainforest

Geographical origins

Guayu­sa is native to the Ama­zon rain­fo­rest in South Ame­ri­ca, main­ly Ecua­dor. It grows natu­ral­ly in the region’s woo­ded areas. Dried guayu­sa leaves, once infu­sed, release a wealth of vita­mins and mine­rals, contri­bu­ting to sus­tai­ned ener­gy throu­ghout the day.

History of Consumption

Guayu­sa has a long his­to­ry of use by indi­ge­nous com­mu­ni­ties in the Ama­zon rain­fo­rest. They used it for its sti­mu­la­ting pro­per­ties, nota­bly to stay awake during night-time rituals. It was also consi­de­red a sacred plant.

Health benefits

Guayu­sa is a natu­ral source of caf­feine, but offers a smoo­ther, more stable ener­gy than cof­fee. Although dif­ferent from green tea, it offers a simi­lar expe­rience with less bit­ter­ness and a wealth of antioxi­dants and ami­no acids.

It is rich in antioxi­dants and ami­no acids, as well as vita­mins. Guayusa’s health bene­fits include impro­ved concen­tra­tion, men­tal sti­mu­la­tion, stress reduc­tion and diges­tive support.

● Turmeric: The Golden Spice with Asian Roots

Geographical origins

Tur­me­ric ori­gi­nates from South Asia, main­ly India, where it is wide­ly culti­va­ted. It is also grown in other parts of Asia, Afri­ca and Cen­tral Ame­ri­ca. Tur­me­ric, often cal­led tur­me­ric, is a super­food that brings gol­den color and health bene­fits to eve­ry cup of her­bal tea. Toge­ther with morin­ga, both native to South Asia, they pro­vide a sym­pho­ny of fla­vors and bene­fits for the body.

History of Consumption

Tur­me­ric has been used for over 4,000 years in Ayur­ve­dic medi­cine and Indian cui­sine. It was also used for medi­ci­nal pur­poses in tra­di­tio­nal Chi­nese medi­cine. It is a key ingre­dient in Indian cur­ry. Tur­me­ric roots, once ground into pow­der, become a ver­sa­tile ingre­dient for her­bal teas, pro­vi­ding fla­vor and health benefits.

Health benefits

Tur­me­ric contains an active com­pound cal­led cur­cu­min, which has anti-inflam­ma­to­ry and antioxi­dant pro­per­ties. It is known to relieve joint pain, sti­mu­late diges­tion, boost the immune sys­tem, sup­port brain health, improve skin health and pro­mote liver health. Cur­cu­min, the active ingre­dient, is reco­gni­zed for its antioxi­dant and anti-inflam­ma­to­ry pro­per­ties, essen­tial for main­tai­ning good health.

The bene­fits of cur­cu­min have been wide­ly stu­died, and nume­rous scien­ti­fic stu­dies have confir­med its bene­fi­cial effects on the body. Tur­me­ric, known for its active ingre­dient cur­cu­min, is often recom­men­ded to relieve diges­tive disor­ders thanks to its anti-inflam­ma­to­ry properties.
