Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) presents a complex challenge in neurodegenerative disorders,
necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches. This review article elucidates the therapeutic potential
of traditional herbal formulations alongside computational methods in PD research. Through
comprehensive examination, we explore their mechanisms of action, synergistic effects, and implications
for PD management. Furthermore, we discuss the significance of computational techniques
such as molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, pharmacophore modeling, and network
pharmacology. Our analysis underscores the integration of traditional wisdom with modern scientific
inquiry, paving the way for nuanced interventions in PD.
