Book excerpt: The value and therapeutic potential of medicinal plants as molecular sources has been demonstrated throughout history and remains an important resource for identifying novel drug leads. A major asset in medicinal plant drug discovery is the presence of ethnopharmacological information that provides clues to the therapeutic efficacy of compounds in humans. With the coming of an aging society, neurodegenerative conditions have arguably become the most dreaded maladies of the elderly. The latest idea is that some aspects of the aging process can be reversed at a younger age if the brain is malleable. If this idea is realized, it may also be possible to slow or reverse neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. Natural medicines display promising neuroprotective and neuroreparatived properties in neurological diseases.
