Abstract

Phytochemicals from plants have provided humans with numerous health benefits. Still, the special properties of the BBB (Blood-Brain Barrier) impede their access to the targeted tissue, and therefore, prevent their therapeutic use in treating brain disorders. In response to the increasing number of fatal diseases, scientists and medical experts have created strict new therapies. The concerning rise in the incidence of fatal neurodegenerative illnesses has brought attention to the need for efficient treatment alternatives. However, the conventional medications that are used to treat them already have disadvantages that make them less than optimal. The most soughtafter alternative to traditional medications is now traditional herbal remedies, which try to offset the disadvantages of synthetic treatments. Their accessibility, cost, and, most of all, their safety and effectiveness have had a major impact on their success against some of the most serious kinds of neurological illness as well as consumer dependence. Clinical and laboratory data indicate that they offer the potential to treat stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other illnesses. For the treatment of neurological illnesses, researchers are considering nanosystems based on herbs to enhance the transport and bioavailability of phytochemical compounds. Neurodegenerative diseases are the primary research targets for this investigation into polyherbalism, herbalmedicinal drugs, and herbal-based nanosystems. This chapter explores phytochemicals and their potential medicinal uses.
