Abstract
Herbs are generally safe and well tolerated. However, they still contain phytochemicals that modify biochemical processes in the body. Therefore, they can also be toxic in high doses, cause side effects in normal doses and unsafe to use with some drugs. Traditional medicines of various cultures, but especially Chinese and Indian traditional medicines, have always turned to herbs to slow down cognitive decline and reverse memory loss. Dementia especially in the elderly is pretty common disorder for which there are traditional remedies. With the current advancements in medicine and biological sciences, it is now possible to determine which of these herbs are truly effective for improving memory. By extracting the active principles in these herbs, researchers are able to predict how these herbs work and in what doses can be deemed appropriate. Therefore, with our better understanding of therapeutic benefits of herbs, here are 10 of the most effective nootropic herbs for improving memory.
