Physician-scientists are searching for new ways to treat aging-related diseases like dementia. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may provide a promising approach. One TCM, Blume (tianma), has been studied for treating cerebrocardiovascular diseases (CCVDs) like Alzheimer's disease (AD). Studies examined its potential efficacy and safety in well-characterized aging-related disease models, with positive results. Other related herbal preparations and natural products have also shown potential in treating CCVDs and dementia. Overall, data suggest that tianma treatment could be a promising complementary therapy for AD.
