Abstract

Background: From ancient times, plants have been prized for their prophylactic, pain-relieving, and healing properties, and today we still rely on the curative properties of these medicinal plants. Natural resources, including plants, have played a vital role for human beings from the past to the present. Healing with plants is one of the indispensable approaches implemented by mankind since the existence of humanity.

Purpose: The majority of the world’s population, especially in developing countries, obtains the necessary source for their food and health from natural resources, including plants. All of those customs and medical procedures, whether they date back to the time of the apothecaries or not, are attempts to improve the quality of life by overcoming disease and suffering.

Methods: Numerous plant species found all over the world are used medicinally because they contain active ingredients that operate directly on the body pharmacologically. Known for their effectiveness in treating central nervous system disorders, some well-known and established medicinal plants of Indian origin are discussed in this review.

Results: Researchers have identified a number of benefits of traditional medicine, including its diversity, adaptability, accessibility, applicability in developing nations, growing appeal in wealthy nations, relative affordability, and low frequency of adverse effects from medicinal plants. According to estimates from the WHO, central nervous system disorders affect more than one billion people globally. These conditions include multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, migraine and other headache disorders, neuro-infections, brain tumors, and traumatic nervous system diseases. Mental disorders, on the other hand, are psychiatric illnesses or diseases (i.e., anxiety, depression, behavioral disturbances, etc.). These include Bacopa monniera, Centella asiatica, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Withania somnifera, Ocimum sanctum, and Emblica officinalis. A few of the most promising ones include Alternanthera sessilis, Clerodendrum infortunatum, Argyreia nervosa, Moringa oleifera, Cassia tora, Elaeocarpus ganitrus, Spinacia oleracea, and Chenopodium album, which are also listed in old Indian scriptures from the time of Charaka.

Conclusion: The focus is an attempt to compile all scientific publications pertinent to the topic so as to serve as a ready reference for future researchers working in the field of natural resources and its effect on mental health.
