Abstract

Background: Over 10 million people worldwide are affected by the chronic neurodegenerative condition of Parkinson's disease. Dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra area of the brain are gradually lost as a result. Herbal medicine, which have its roots in ancient cultures, uses medicinal herbs to treat illnesses and advance general health. There is considerable interest in researching the possibilities of herbal medicine for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease because they are thought to be safer than synthetic medications.

Objective: The objective of this article is to investigate the potential of herbal medications as a treatment option for Parkinsonism, and to provide a clear understanding of the current state of research on this topic.

Conclusion: This review focuses on herbal treatments and components that have demonstrated promise in Parkinson's disease in vitro and animal models. This information can be used to identify prospective traditional medicine prescription therapies. New therapeutic treatments for Parkinson's disease may result from further study of pharmaceutical components with well-established therapeutic potential.
