  • Abstract:
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder affecting 10million people worldwide. It causes brain cell damage, leading to memory, thinking, and behavior issues. Factors contributing to AD include acetylcholine deficiency, free radicals, and brain tissue inflammation. Studies suggest that natural components, such as medicinal plants and phytoconstituents, could be effective dementia treatments with fewer side effects. Herbal treatments, such as Indian herbal remedies like Centella asiatica, Bacopa monnieri, Curcuma longa, Withania somnifera, Ginkgo biloba, and Melissa officinali, are becoming more popular due to their effectiveness, safety, and affordability. Over 100 novel products are currently in clinical development, with medicinal plants being the most effective source of leads for medication development. Ginseng's cognitive-enhancing properties and mechanisms of its positive effects are also discussed. Alternative medicine, such as ayurveda, is becoming increasingly popular for its health-promoting properties and its potential in treating cognitive impairments in the elderly.
