Trees of life

"Let your food be your medicine": indigenous peoples around the world have always followed this advice from Hippocrates.

Two of these foods from Africa are particularly remarkable: Moringa, also known as the "miracle tree," is bursting with minerals and vitamins. In traditional medicine, it is used to treat inflammation and stomach pains, among other things.

This wealth of ingredients also characterizes the fruits of the baobab or baobab tree. Great powers are attributed to the baobab in strengthening the heart, nerves and liver.

But that's not all: Moringa and Baobab are not only food, they can also be processed into cosmetics and then unfold their positive effects directly on the skin. As an authentic natural product, this balm for stressed skin and hair is finding more and more followers.

We are not asking what Africa needs. But what Africa has that the world needs.
