Insights Into Emerging Natural Products For Treating Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract

Chronic neurodegeneration is the underlying cause of the cognitive decline and dementia in the elderly, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). As a result, the patient's memory progressively declines. The growth of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT'S) are important diagnostic markers. The primary causes of Alzheimer's disease are a lack of Acetylcholine (A Ch) availability in the cerebral region due to metabolism by the enzyme Acetylcholine esterase and neural death. Additional stress-reducing methods to treat Alzheimers include incorporating Nutraceuticals into a person's diet, Aromatherapy, and making changes to their daily schedule, as well as regular yoga practice. These methods have been shown by researchers to be most effective in releasing stress. Because of its wide availability, cheap cost, high patient compliance, simplicity of formulation, and lack of harmful side effects, herbal medicine is now the greatest option for treating AD. Herbal medicines may be developed using cutting-edge methods. AD, its pathophysiology, the various stages of the disorder, various selective therapeutic targets for AD, available Anti-AD herbal drugs, herbs with essential oils, volatile oils and the source and cultivation of the herbs are all covered in this review.
