Abstract

Importance of plants for medicinal purposes is known since long. Moringa oleifera is one such plant which has been named as “Miracle Tree”. Most commonly found in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has all the essential amino acids, vitamins, calcium and all the nutrition required packed in the leaves. It has been considered as a divine gift to mankind. Moringa has also been called “never die” because of its ability to survive harsh weather and drought. The aim of this review is to cover all the properties of every part of the plant used. The fruits are eaten and have been used in making curries all over India. However, the use of leaves and bark as a cure to diseases is not as much known as the fruits.
KEYWORDS: Miracle, Nutrition, Moringa, Leaves, Diseases.
