Neuroprotective and Anti-Aging Potentials of Essential Oils from Aromatic and Medicinal Plants.

Essential oils (EOs) have been used for a long time in traditional medicine and aromatherapy to manage various diseases. Researchers worldwide have studied the neuroprotective and anti-aging potentials of EOs and their possible mechanisms of action. This review summarizes the current findings on EOs tested against neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, as well as anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. EOs have been effective on several pathological targets and improved cognitive performance in animal models and humans. Therefore, EOs may be developed as multi-potent agents against neurological disorders with better efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Modulatory Effects of Decalepis hamiltonii Extract and Its Compounds on the Antioxidant Status of the Aging Rat Brain.

Researchers examined the potential neuroprotective benefits of Dh root extract on age-related oxidative stress in certain regions of rat brains. They achieved this through experiments on rats and examining significant differences in certain regions of their brains. Findings suggest that Dh root extract has neuroprotective properties that can help reduce the effects of aging on certain parts of the brain.
