Moringaspecies the potential candidate for traditional and future applications: A review.

Moringa is a genus of medicinal plants which spread and are even cultivated around the globe. The Moringacease family comprises 13 native species ranging from sub-Himalayan to African, Madagascar, and the Arabian region. Nearly every part of these species such as roots, stems, flowers, leaves have their immense importance for traditional and future applications. Traditionally, the enriched medicinal and nutritive profile of Moringa species explores for curing over 300 diseases due to its anti-agent properties as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anticancer, antimicrobial, and anti-diabetic. Most of its bioactive behavior is due to high content molecules like flavonoids, glucosides, glucosinolates, steroids, and oleic acid, etc. Some of the Moringa species like oleifera, ovalifolia, and stenopetala are divested remarkably by the reactive oxygen species. The objectives of the present review are to update and develop a better understanding of the medicinal and commercial potential along with the ethnobotanical aspects of multifaceted Moringa species in the line-up with its traditional and future strategies for better application among communities for improved health and sustainable technology like water purification technology.
