Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the loss and death of neurons with their structure and functions and this is causing a great burden on society at present time. The degeneration of neurons is caused due to a variety of factors which may be genetic, environmental, oxidative stress and many more. The scientific articles regarding neurodegenerative disorders, their classification, and mechanism of action are pooled from different scientific databases. We have used preferred reporting items for systemic reviewing of articles to filter those which are highly relevant and counter the information at present: neurodegenerative disorders, medicinal plants, herbal plants from neurodegeneration, and herbal nutraceuticals as summarized. As per the side effects caused by the use of synthetic drugs for the treatment of various neurological disorders, to reduce their efficacy, it was found the new advancement of herbal nutraceuticals has created havoc and has been reported to possess neuroprotective effects with minimized side effects. Medicinal plants for neuro-degenerative diseases have been documented to cure a variety of neurological disorders and their effects over synthetic drugs by the advancing use of herbal nutraceuticals. This review will provide the role of herbal nutraceuticals and medicinal plants in curing neurodegenerative diseases in the present era.
