Moringa oleifera Lam. (drumstick tree, horseradish tree) is indigenous to northwestern India and is often cultivated in hedges and home yards. The tree is valued mainly for the tender pods, which are esteemed as a vegetable (21). Flowers and young leaves are also eaten as vegetables. A paste of the leaves is used as an external application for wounds. Moreover, the leaves are a rich source of essential amino acids such as methionine, cystine, tryptophan, and lysine with a high content of proteins (22). Decoctions and extracts made from these leaves are also variously employed in native medicine (23). Recently Pal et al. (24) have reported that the methanol fraction of moringa leaf extract possesses antiulcer activity against induced gastric lesions in rats. On the other hand, pressed juice of the fresh leaves shows strong antibacterial activity against Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis.
