The "tree of life" or "miracle tree," Moringa oleifera, is regarded as an essential herbal plant because of its many health advantages, both medicinal and non-medical. The plant has historically been used to treat inflammation, cancer, heart illness, liver disease, wounds, and discomfort. It is also used to treat ulcers. With the intention of assisting future research, this review attempts to gather an analysis of global studies, pharmacological activity, phytochemical, toxicological, and ethnomedical updates of Moringa oleifera, as well as to offer insight into its commercial and phytopharmaceutical uses. Numerous websites and search engines, including Scopus, Pub Med, Science Direct, BMC, Google Scholar, and other scientific databases, provided the scientific data about this plant. Only articles that are accessible in English have been forwarded for evaluation. The hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties of the extracts from the different plant sections are validated by the pharmacological research. It was discovered that every portion of the plant contains bioactive components. To date, over a hundred chemicals, comprising alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, vitamins, glycosides, and terpenes, have been identified from various sections of Moringa oleifera. Furthermore, the plant has been shown to contain unique isolates with strong antioxidant, anticancer, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, and nutritional properties, such as muramoside A&B and niazimin A&B. This review acknowledges the pharmacological properties of moringa, as well as its traditional and atypical usage, phytopharmaceutical formulations, toxicity profile, clinical investigations, and other applications. Some traditional uses, though, have not yet been thoroughly investigated by science. In order to identify and isolate the active or synergistic components that underlie the plant's medicinal potential, more research is suggested to investigate the plant's mechanistic approach.
