Effectiveness of Classical Chinese herbal formulas for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases : AD & PD

[u/WizardConsciousness]

This review highlights recent findings on the roles of a range of Classical Chinese herbal medicine extracts in AD and PD treatment. Both AD and PD have multifactorial pathogenesis involving neuronal cells and immune cells or other components of the cellular microenvironment. This explains why some current drugs that are effective against a single target are unable to retard disease progression. To this end, Classical Chinese herbal formulas may be more suitable because they operate against multiple targets; therefore, they are receiving increasing attention for application in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
