MORINGA (moor-in-ga)

10

1. Super food that contains a remarkably high content of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, healthy fats, antioxidants and other nutrients. 2. Originating in Arabia and Northern India, records show Moringa was used in Ayurvedic medicine as long ago as 5,000 years, while the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians are believed to have used it as an ingredient in food and cosmetics. Moringa is used to make everything from food to cosmetics to cleaning agents to natural dyes and fertilizer. It can even be used to purify drinking water! The oil, pods, seeds, flowers, roots, sap and bark can all be used, leaving behind little waste.

People who know me, know that I'm genetically wired to clean...every Friday morning is cleaning day at my house (and I do it all myself, what can I say, I'm a Italian). When I discovered SOLEA household cleaning products an unimaginable love affair began. From laundry to glass, all purpose, veggie wash and more, these products clean like no others I've ever used. Plus, I love their mission to get chemical laden cleaners out of our schools. Give SOLEA a go, if you're a clean freak like me, there's no doubt in my mind that you'll love it.. ~ PBS Chef Christina Pirello of Christina Cooks We met at the Philly Farm & Food fest and you wanted me to test your window cleaner. I am impressed. The smell is clean and the results are streak-free. I haven't cleaned the sunroom windows (the final and ultimate test), but I am extremely pleased with the results in the other rooms of my house. THANK YOU!

~ Jan – Philadelphia, PA I am a home-schooler so I approached this as a learning opportunity for my children. We first researched the company website. Then we investigated Moringa. Then I used the Multipurpose spray. I just kept cleaning because it worked so well. My family was shocked because they don’t see me clean like that. So we decided, if this worked so well, let’s try the other products – I had bought a set, one of each. So I tried the laundry liquid – only ½ capful according to the instructions so I kept the washer lid open to see if there were suds, and there were suds! This is really the best product I’ve ever used.

~ Linda – Philadelphia, PA Moringa is a highly effective antibacterial ingredient. It is a nutrient rich super food so if it gets on your body or you place food on the table after it’s been wiped down, it will do no harm. This is a highly effective plant-based product...and you know plant-based is the way to go on all fronts.

~ Dr. Paul Hopkins - Naturopath, Philadelphia, PA
