The Moringa oleifera is one of "miracle tree," It was discovered that every part of the plant has bioactive components. More than a hundred chemicals, including alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, vitamins, glycosides, and terpenes, have been identified thus far from various sections of Moringa oleifera. The herb has long been used to treat inflammation, cancer, liver and heart disease, ulcers, wounds, and discomfort.
