      abstract = {The miracle tree?Moringa oleifera, has a great commercial importance, and is known for its nutritional and medicinal values. An indigenous plant of the Indian subcontinent stretching from the western desert region of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh as well as east to the Himalayan foothills, cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical area, Moringa has become recognized?as an important source of essential nutrients and bioactive molecules. Its parts such?as leaves, seeds, and pods, have been used in food, traditional medicine, cosmetic products and water treatment. The plant is a rich source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and?phytochemicals including flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, and glucosinolates, which together impart its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anticarcinogenic activities. Because of its drought resistance and rapid growth, Moringa oliefera has also?proven to be a valuable weapon in the fight against malnutrition and food insecurity in impoverished areas. This review provides an overview of the therapeutic properties, nutritional values, and diverse uses of Moringa oleifera which render it crucial in traditional and modern health systems.},
