Abstract :

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a memory-related neurodegenerative disease that affects individuals as they grow older. AD is highly devastating; beginning with memory problems and progressing to total dependency and failure to perform daily activities. Several trials have been conducted in order to discover therapeutic approaches for AD, however, the proper cure is still unavailable. Late initiation of AD drugs is argued to decrease their efficacy. While AD has no cure, symptomatic therapy can help with memory and other dementia-related issues. Due to the complexities of the underlying pathologies, the lack of diseasemodifying medications necessitates the production of newer medicinal agents and various target-based techniques. Many herbs and herbal formulations have been used for memory and cognitive enhancement in the past, and many of them have been researched thoroughly in the last few years for therapeutic efficacy in AD. The effectiveness of most herbs and plants has been confirmed in clinical trials and has been chemically tested. This study will concentrate on recent scientific results on the effectiveness of different plants in the management of AD based on their memory boosting, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.
