Cleaning water using Moringa seeds

Moringa Seeds can be used to clean water. The seeds of the moringa tree can be used to clean water of dirt and most bacteria. This is a simple and effective way to make water drinkable. It is used in Africa, India and other countries. This technique also saves a lot of fire wood, energy and time because water does not have to be boiled.



How to use the moringa seeds:

1. Remove some seeds from the pod and peel the outer shell off the seeds.

2. Crush the seeds into a fine powder. Don’t use discolored seeds (brown colored).

3. Add 2 small spoons of this moringa seed powder into 1 clean water bottle (1500 ml aqua bottle).

4. Shake for 5 minutes.

5. Filter this solution through a clean cloth into the bucket of water that is to be treated.

6. Stir quickly for 2 minutes, then slowly for about 10 minutes.

7. Leave still for 1 hour. The dirt and bacteria (usually between 90%- 99%) will stick to the moringa seed powder and sink to the bottom of the water.

8. Carefully pour the clean drinking water into clean bottles or containers, leaving the powder at the bottom of the bucket.
