Unlock the future of brain health with this evidence-based guide that bridges the gap between traditional herbal medicine and modern neuropharmacology, providing the clinical insights needed to develop next-generation neurotherapeutics. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer s, Parkinson s, and Huntington s, and mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, are on the rise due to an aging global population, lifestyle factors, and environmental stressors. These conditions often lack effective and sustainable treatment options, creating an urgent need for innovative therapies. The field of plant-derived neurotherapeutics, at the intersection of traditional herbal medicine and modern neuropharmacology, is rapidly emerging as a promising new area of treatment for these disorders. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the neurotherapeutic potential of plant secondary metabolites by providing an in-depth look at a broad range of plant-derived compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and polyphenols. Through its detailed exploration of how these compounds support brain health, the book offers a foundational understanding of their therapeutic roles within neuropharmacology. It includes real-world case studies and summaries of preclinical and clinical trials, presenting an evidence-based perspective on plant-derived neurotherapeutics. With contributions from experts across neuropharmacology, phytochemistry, and integrative medicine, the book provides an interdisciplinary audience of researchers, clinicians, and students a glimpse into the future of plant-derived compounds in neurotherapeutics.
