The disorders that affect the liver are a significant contributor to the morbidity and mortality rates that are experienced all over the world. Due to its natural bioactive chemicals, its cost-effectiveness, and the fact that it has fewer adverse effects, herbal medicine has gained popularity as a complementary and alternative strategy. It discussed the details regarding the important medicinal herbs including the hepatoprotective effects of milk thistle, turmeric, and liquorice, the mechanism of actions and clinical efficacies in relation to a potential application within strategies to address liver disease management.

This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of a new herbal extract using a rat model of Parkinson's disease. A total of 100 male Wistar rats were employed in this study, dividing the animals into five groups: one for control, one for PD, and three for low, moderate, and high dosages of the herbal remedy. Behavioural tests of rotarod and open field, biochemical analysis for dopamine levels and markers of oxidative stress, and histological assessments for surviving dopaminergic neurons were done for four successive weeks. Improvements in motor coordination, reductions in oxidative stress, increase in dopamine levels, and survival of dopaminergic neurons showed significant improvements within herbal remedy-treated groups, with high doses showing the most pronounced effect.
