Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of Moringa oleifera, highlighting its ethnopharmacological uses, pharmacological activities, phytochemistry, phytopharmaceutical formulations, clinical studies, toxicology, and miscellaneous applications. M. oleifera, known as the "miracle tree," exhibits a wide range of therapeutic properties attributed to its diverse phytoconstituents, including alkaloids, phenolic acids, glycosides, sterols, glucosinolates, flavonoids, terpenes, and fatty acids. The review examines the plant's potential in treating various diseases and its use as a biostimulant in agriculture, while also acknowledging its potential toxic effects at high doses. Future research directions are proposed, emphasizing the need for more clinical studies to validate its efficacy and elucidate the mechanisms of action of its bioactive compounds.
