Moringa oleifera (family Moringaceae) is one of the widely cultivated plant in India. Moringa oleifera is widely known as drumstick tree. This plant contains various nutritional properties such as it is a rich source of Vitamins (A and C) as well as it contains lots of minerals (Ca, P, K, Fe, Cu, S, Mg) etc. Every single part of Moringa oleifera plant comprises a valuable medicinal feature. From Past two decades, several reports have been published which describes nutritional and medicinal properties of this plant. Moringa oleifera are well-known for their valuable pharmacological action such as anti-fertility, anti-microbial, anti-asthmatic, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-hyperglycemic activity and many more. Most of biological of activities of Moringa oleifera is caused by their presence of huge amount of flavonoids, glycosides, as well as glucosinolates. The purpose of this review is to provide all the essential Pharmacognostical, Phytochemical as well as Pharmacological information of Moringa oleifera.
