A review: Ethanopharmacolical review of native traditional medicinal plants as a memory booster

Abstract

Memory is the most significant distinction in separating one individual from another since it helps us identify ourselves as distinct individuals.The following are the three main types of memory that the brain is capable of storing, retrieving, and capturing. Without these core types of memory, a person even finds it difficult to build relationships, pick up new skills, and carry out the most fundamental activities of everyday living. There are numerous traditional medicinal plants that are frequently used to improve memory. These plants include Rhodiola rosea, Ginkgo biloba, Withania somnifera, Bacopa monnieri, and others. Such plants’ ability to improve memory is primarily related to their active phytoconstituents. These ingredients are also known as “smart drugs.” These can pass across blood-brain barriers. By acting on memory to make the brain more awake and focused, they also improve cognitive function. They have memory-enhancing qualities that improve the brain’s ability to coordinate its neurons. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pharmacology, phytochemistry, and clinical uses of traditional medicinal plants as memory enhancers.
