Moringa – The Herb that Heals

Moringa – known by various names such as the miracle tree or the ben oil tree – is a medicinal plant that is extensively used in Ayurveda for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. When combined with herbs like Spearmint and Lemongrass, the medicinal properties are greatly enhanced – and complemented – giving you a holistic and healthy concoction. At BanLabs, we have two great green tea variants of this miraculous herb – Care Moringa & Giloy with Lemongrass and Care Moringa & Giloy with Spearmint.

The Moringa & Giloy match

Moringa is a nutritional herb that contains several useful nutrients including B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B-6, calcium, foliate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and zinc.

Apart from boosting immunity, Giloy also has anti-oxidant properties and aids in digestion. It is also helpful in the treatment of respiratory tract disorders, arthritis, and other diseases.

When coupled with Giloy – the universal immunity booster that complements every medicinal herb – the nutritional properties of Moringa are greatly enhanced. Together, Moringa and Giloy complement one another not only providing you with nutrition but also healing your body.

Lemongrass or Spearmint?
