        abstract = {Microbial resistance and helminthic infections are the continues serious challenges in the global health. Although synthetic drugs are available there prolonged use often leads to resistance. Medicinal plants are the primary source of drugs in the healthcare system, and they have been used to treat illnesses at a low cost all across the world. The Moringa oleifera have long been used in traditional medicine to treat disease, the current study aimed to evaluate antioxidant, anthelmintic and antimicrobial activity in Moringa oleifera root. The roots of the Moringa oleifera plant were collected and authenticated. These roots were dried and extracted using hydroalcoholic through the maceration extraction method. The phytochemical evaluation was conducted, and evaluated antioxidant activity by using a in vitro DPPH assay. The absorbance of each mixture was measured at 520nm using UV-visible spectrophotometer and calculated the % scavenging activity and IC50 Value, The anthelmintic activity performed by using hydroalcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera root against earthworm and antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus by using cup plate method. The Phytochemicals like Alkoloids, Flavonoids, tannins, Terpinoids, steroids, phenolic compounds, proteins, amino acids are present. In the DPPH scavenging activity the hydroalcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera root shows 56.38% and the standard 85.42% at a concentration of 300µg/ml. The anthelmintic activity of Moringa oleifera was performed by measuring death time of earthworm at 400mg/ml and 600mg/ml. The hydroalcoholic extract Moringa oleifera showed significant zone of inhibition and showed antimicrobial effect hence the research conclude that Moringa oleifera shows significant athelmintic and antimicrobial properties.},
