Abstract :
Carla medicinal plant, with the scientific name Charantia Momordica, is a tropical and subtropical plant from the gourd family.which is widely cultivated in Asian, African and South American regions to use its fruit. Carla plant has anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-coagulant, anti-pregnancy and anti-diabetic properties. Therefore, basic planning for the development of activities and protection, restoration and exploitation of this plant in natural areas requires a detailed examination of the current situation, recognition of the potentials in agricultural areas and natural resources as the main origin of the country's native species, and a correct understanding of the limitations and challenges along with the development. It is the science of its processing and consumption. This study was also conducted in order to know the medicinal, phytochemical, economic, etc. potentials of Moringa plant. t is the science of its processing and consumption.
