10 Benefits Of Moringa
Moringa Benefit #6: Water Purification
One very interesting benefit of the moringa tree is its capability to serve as a water purifier. This is especially beneficial to rural communities that have little to no access to a clean water supply.
Since the 1970s, moringa seeds and their effectiveness as a water purifier has been studied. Studies have confirmed the seeds are very effective in removing suspended particles from water with medium to high levels of turbidity. The seeds act as a coagulant, which allows for the clumping of harmful particles to occur and be removed easily. Due to it action as a coagulant, it is not effective in cleaning low turbidity water. However, researchers are still very pleased with its effectiveness.
