A review on the effect of Moringa oleifera in the treatment of hypertension

Abstract

The multipurpose plant Moringa oleifera contains varieties of biologically active phytochemicals in different parts of the plant that show therapeutic effects on various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and hypertension etc. The study reviewed the clinical trials data of Moringa oleifera on the disease hypertension. For reviewing the clinical trials data, our only focus on the trials that are not reviewed before and not include in any meta-analysis which result two relevant articles on clinical trials data of hypertension. From those two articles, one shows positive effect on blood pressure and other article data don’t show any changes in blood pressure while reducing Low density lipoprotein and total blood cholesterol. Though the clinical trial data is very less, further research is necessary to determine the plant's effectiveness on hypertension and declare it’s potential as an alternative resource for incorporating it into people's lifestyles as we can see the beneficial effects of the plant.
