SuSanA Forum- Re: Moringa plant as handwashing soap - by: F H Mughal March 10, 2014Yes, that is true. My review was in connection with the use of soap. What I mentioned about the experience in Sindh, is not backed by any research, but is just a 60 years old tradition, that still continues this day. There is not much research on the use of ash or mud. However, I’m attaching one with post, which is: Use of ash and mud for handwashing in low […]

- Re: Moringa plant as handwashing soap - by: joeturner March 10, 2014Thank you, that is interesting. Can I just clarify that the review of which you speak was concerned with washing with soap and water rather than ash? I remain unconvinced about the overall benefits of handwashing. The reports I have seen, particularly those by Cairncross et al. tend to be review articles based on a lot of studies. The problem there is when i […]
- Re: Moringa plant as handwashing soap - by: F H Mughal March 10, 2014In the rural areas of Sindh, Pakistan, people, who resort to OD – open defecation (OD is common in the rural areas here), use ash or topsoil (whatever is available at the defecation spot) to clean their hand. The practice of using ash is in vogue here, in the rural areas, for the last many decades. Apart from ash, two important adjuncts are the vigorous rubb […]

Improvements to technologies are welcome but we should also be cognizant of the amount of effort and resources required to move from prototypes to the market […]
