The use of moringa olifera leaves and leaf powder to activate ethanol, alcoholic beverages and water is disclosed. Consumption of the energized liquids can have therapeutic benefits. The activated ethanol can be further used with neutral red dye and ultraviolet (UV) light illumination to indirectly enhance the environmental energy absorption properties of other liquids, including drinking water. Moringa activated ethanol can similarly be used with neutral red dye and UV illumination to activate the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway of an individual.
