Almost 6 years ago, my father was suffering badly from multiple health complications.
Ranging from high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and he also has psoriasis.
He was 76 years old at this time and just by appearances it seemed as if he didn’t have much life left in him, he got very skinny and looked dried up as if he was withering away. He was unable to continue working as a contractor as he did for the past few decades or even enjoy going fishing out at sea…his favorite hobby because he was bed ridden and could no longer drive his car or barely even walk.
It was around this same time, we first learned about the Moringa plant. Our family in St. Vincent informed us of this miracle plant and that their Government was giving out free seeds to the general public over there. The whole country lined up for them, everyone was given 2 seeds each.
Some of those seeds were sent to my family here in Trinidad and grew into our first set of trees very quickly. The leaves from these trees were then used in smoothies for my father, who started showing amazing signs of improvement. My entire family (which is a very large one) was blown away at the results he got from using these leaves.
This sparked the beginning of our research. As a family, each member did lots of individual research and we would share our most fascinating findings about the plant regularly. We also gave anyone and everyone that entered our house a few branches to try themselves, and the feedback was consistently good. They all asked for more and started coming back sometimes just to get moringa from us. We only started selling the seeds, plants, leaves when people offered to start paying.
Through our extensive online research one of the most notable things we discovered was that moringa leaves work best in powdered form because of a variety of reasons. My father purchased some professional grade equipment and began to experiment with making his own powder right at home for his personal use. Mind you, he was now out in the garden almost every day in the hot sun, taking care of his moringa trees and harvesting the leaves to make more powder for family and friends, he was also able to undertake a few job contracts and he even started taking his boat back out on fishing trips, never coming home empty handed either.
It became obvious that this plant is indeed a miracle plant and it’s claimed to have the power to address over 300 common types of illnesses including chronic diseases, so we decided to keep putting it to the test, mostly on our friends who were willing to try. They had a very wide range of health concerns and every single one of them were pleased by the improvements they got from using the moringa and couldn’t thank us enough for sharing it with them, the same way my family was overly grateful to have my father with us and still in great health today.
To my family, having our beloved dad around a little longer has been truly priceless to us and we couldn’t keep something so good a secret. We wanted to share these same miracles - from our family to yours...with anyone that wanted to try it and not just our friends so we started a page called Project Moringa Trinidad & Tobago.
This project was aimed at educating the public of Trinidad & Tobago about the many uses of moringa and to act as a public forum, promoting its cultivation across T&T and act as a hub for those in need to get. We offered plants for sale, seeds, leaves and pure homemade “life-saving quality” moringa powder, under our brand Moringa Life.
Moringa Life quickly became T&T’s #1 Trusted brand of moringa products with the help of social media thanks to the social proof, reviews and feedback from our customers and the unmatched quality and potency of our products.
