An Overview on Herbal Medicine used in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract

Impacts, anticholinesterase impacts, hypolipidemic impacts and cancer prevention agent influences. Researchers have been looking at a variety of medicinal plants that have showed promise in reversing the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, and they have gathered their findings here. Pharmacological targets and treatment concepts that are often used are discussed below. As a result, natural compounds operating in a phototherapeutic manner are shown to have advantages over AD monotherapy. This method emphasises the use of many Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by severe memory loss, which may have a significant impact on one's social and professional lives. More than 20 million individuals throughout the globe suffer from this kind of dementia, making it the most prevalent. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by a gradual loss of memory, as well as a reduction in cognitive and behavioural abilities. A decade or more after being diagnosed with AD, patients may still be living, making it the most common cause of impairment among the elderly. AD may affect anywhere from 1% to 4% of the population each year, with rates peaking around age 65-70 and dropping to as low as 6% for those over 85. Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter to be shown to be defective in Alzheimer's disease (A Ch). At this time, there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease, and present medications only have limited efficacy in treating the condition. Delaying or halting the course of Alzheimer's disease might significantly lower the number of instances in people over the next 50 years, according to experts. One of the most fruitful sources of drug development leads has been Ayurvedic medicinal herbs, and over one hundred novel medications are now in clinical development. The utilization of Ayurvedic restorative plants and their elements for the treatment of Alzheimer's illness has been shown by a few logical examinations. Despite the fact that the specific system by which they work is as yet a secret, phytochemical investigations of different plant parts have shown the presence of numerous important mixtures, for example, lignans, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, triterpenes, steroids and alkaloids that show a wide range of pharmacological exercises, including calming impacts, against amyloidogenic mechanisms, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory general processes and receptor and/or enzyme-mediated actions, in the search for new drugs to protect and regenerate the brain.
