Medicinal Plants in Parkinson's Therapy offers a comprehensive approach to managing Parkinson's disease, blending insights from traditional herbal medicine with contemporary research findings. By examining various herbs, plants, and natural compounds, the book explores their potential in alleviating symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia. Through practical and scientific research, readers learn how to integrate herbal preparations into their daily routines, including sourcing high-quality herbs, appropriate preparation methods, and dosage instructions. Emphasizing collaboration with healthcare professionals, the book underscores the need to complement herbal treatments with conventional therapies for Parkinson's disease. In addition to herbal remedies,

Medicinal Plants in Parkinson's Therapy delves into complementary approaches like dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and mind-body practices such as meditation and acupuncture. Highlighting medicinal plants like Mucuna pruriens, Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Centella asiatica, and Bacopa monnieri, the book reveals their neuroprotective and antioxidant properties. These plants, rich in bioactive compounds such as Ursolic acid, Chlorogenic acid, and Berberine, have shown promising therapeutic activity in treating Parkinson's disease.
