Abstract

In today's era, most of the diseases are treated by allopathic drugs. The reliance on allopathic drugs for the treatment of most diseases is gradually increasing day by day due to their rapid effects and the immediate relief to patients. However, these drugs induce some serious side effects in patients, and in some cases, the patient may die. Thus, the interest of researchers is growing day by day towards medicinal plants for the treatment of diseases. It has also been viewed that some herbal plants have great therapeutic and pharmacological effects in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The initial studies, which have been carried out by different researchers, demonstrated very valuable results and enlighten a ray of hope for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease which is associated with CNS disfunction. In this article, the author focused on those plants which are especially used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

As we know, no permanent treatment for Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes patients to have strange behaviour, changes in personality, a decline in Alzheimer's disease exists; only symptomatic treatment is found in allopathic drugs [3,4]. Dementia is the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease in the late sixties in human beings [15] These plaques and tangles in the brain are still regarded as pathological signs to be observed among Alzheimer's disease patients. Another indication is a condition in which nerve cells (neurons) in the brain lose their connections [18,19] The brain, as well as the nerves, muscles, and organs throughout the body, has a neuronal connection that helps them interact with one another [20]. A lady died of an unusual mental illness in 1906, Dr Alzheimer detected abnormalities in her brain tissue [16] Her symptoms included memory loss, language problems, and unpredictable behaviour. He discovered many aberrant clumps ( known as in her brain, she had amyloid plaques and twisted bundles of fibres ( called neurofibrillary, or tau, tangles) [17]
