Did you know Moringa Tea was used by ancient Indian warriors to stay healthy and energized on the battlefield? We’re talking about the famous, sometimes elephant riding, Mauryan warriors who defeated Alexander The Great.

"The indigenous knowledge and use of Moringa is referenced in more than 80 countries (including their own Pakistan) and known in over 200 local languages.

Moringa has been used by various societies {Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and Indian to mention a few} for thousands of years with writings dating as far back as 150 AD.

The history of Moringa dates back to 150 B.C.

Historical proofs reveal that ancient kings and queens used Moringa leaves and fruit in their diet to maintain mental alertness and healthy skin.

And now to our point, ancient Mauryan warriors of India were fed with Moringa Leaf Extract in the war front. The Elixir (or medicinal) drink was believed to give them extra energy and relieve them of the stress and pain incurred during the war.

These brave soldiers were the ones who defeated “Alexander” the Great.

Many other articles also quote that the Mauryan warriors drank Moringa tea. After some digging I was unable to locate the original source material. If anyone has access to the books below and can share this information that would be great!
