Abstract

Moringa oleifera is a small- to medium-sized multipurpose tree, which grows in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Moringa oleifera is drought-resistant, preferring regions with dry/wet climate and hence is cultivated in a wide range of habitats on a variety of soils across the world. It contains a significant value including as food, fodder, medicine, fuelwood, and fertilizer from all parts of the plant. Leaves are rich in minerals, vitamins, and other essential phytochemicals. These phytochemicals are used as conventional drugs for antioxidants, antitumor, antidiabetes, antihyperlipidemia, and as antimicrobial agents. The leaves extract is also involved in the treatment of malnutrition, augmenting breast milk in lactating mothers. The production of seeds from elongated capsule fruits is most useful in water purification. The scientific evidence provides insights on the utilization of Moringa oleifera to cure diabetes, cancer. The large-scale commercial cultivation of this species accelerates the medicinal, nutritional, and prominent pharmaceutical values.
