Phytotherapy in treatment of Parkinson's disease: a review.

This review article discusses the potential of medicinal plants in treating Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a neurological disorder that causes motor disorders such as tremors and stiffness. The article includes 12 plant-derived active ingredients and 18 herbal extracts that have been studied for their effects on PD. These compounds have been found to affect PD by targeting pathways associated with the pathogenesis of the disease. Some herbal extracts and active ingredients have shown positive effects in animal models of PD, but additional studies are needed to investigate potential active ingredients and mechanisms of action. This field offers numerous perspectives for future studies on plants and their bioactive compounds.
