Around the world, inflammatory disorders are a leading source of morbidity and disability among workers. Standard steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication treatments for inflammation carry the same risk of harming different organ systems. It has been suggested that the herbal plant Moringa oleifera can effectively treat a variety of inflammatory diseases. However, there aren't enough scientific studies to support these assertions. From the beginning of human civilization, medicinal plants have been used to treat a variety of illnesses. According to the World Health Organization, almost 80% of people in underdeveloped nations struggle to pay for synthetic medications and must rely on traditional medicines, mostly made from plants, to meet their basic medical needs.

It is a very nutrient-dense vegetable that may be used to cure microbiological infections, poisonous bites, and rheumatism. Researchers looked into the Methanol extract of Moringa oleiferous (MEMO) anti-inflammatory properties. Using a plethysmometer, In order to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves (EEMO) in experimentally induced inflammation in albino rats, the current study was conducted. The results of the present study revealed that oral administration of EEMO exhibited anti-inflammatory effect in the models studied
