Abstract: Okra is a vegetable which is still infamous in most of the countries owing to all the medicinal benefits it holds. It is an excellent source of nutrition and comes with a bundle of goodness. This review concentrates on okra being an antioxidant, anti-fatigue agent, anti-diabetic and most importantly anticancer therapeutic. Polysaccharides and fibres in okra are also known to be sources of energy and bio therapeutics from which essential drugs can be formulated. The review looks into the capacity of okra to replace most of the drugs in the treatment of several diseases. It also promises the chance of okra passing the different phases of the clinical trials.
