Moringa - Nature's Multivitamin Superherb

The green tree of Moringa can be found growing all over our little desert oasis ~ its a absolute powerhouse of nutrients and we love it! It's actually one of the most ancient medicines in the world, highly valued by the Greeks, Romans and Ancient Egyptians...

As far back as I can remember, I've been fascinated by bees and the incredible medicines that they offer. Honey, propolis, bee pollen, venom and royal jelly are some of the most potent natural medicines that nature provides. Its no wonder bee keepers are some of the longest living people on the planet.
