Abstract:
It is obvious to introduce Moringa oleifera (MO)
or “Murunga” as the “miracle tree”, since every part of
it has a prodigious medicinal value. Moringa is a genus
of medicinal plants that consists of 13 species. Moringa
species show anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant,
antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic properties; mainly
owing to the high content of flavonoids, glucosides and
glucosinolates. Traditional uses of MO are healing skin
infections, anxiety, asthma, wounds, fever, diarrhea and
sore throats.
