Abstract
Moringa oleifera, a
tropical tree also known as the horseradish tree, is highly valued for
nutritional and medicinal properties in several countries. In the past few
decades, several scientific studies have validated many traditional claims
about the usage of different parts of M. oleifera for the treatment of a
variety of diseases such as rheumatism, stomach disorders, headache, asthma,
intestinal complaints and fevers, and cardiac problems. Among the various
pharmacological properties of M. oleifera are its analgesic,
anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, and anticancer
potential characteristics. There are other phytochemicals in this plant as
well, a few of which are particularly significant because of their potential
medical uses. M. oleifera has been reported to have beneficial
properties in almost all parts of the plant, and hence it is used for a variety
of medicinal purposes. An introduction for essential minerals, as well as
carotenoids, amines with different aromatic compounds are available in the
whole parts of this medicinal plant. Some important naturally occurring
compounds are caffeoylquinic acid, kaempferol, quercetin, and zeatin, which are
present in higher concentrations in moringa.
