Plants as Medicine for Autism: Reviewing the Evidence for Phytopharmaceuticals for ASD

<p>A complicated neural developmental condition, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is marked by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviours. There is increasing interest in complementary and alternative medicines, including medicinal plants, to treat the symptoms of ASD as incidence rates rise globally. This thorough analysis looks at the available data supporting a range of plant-based ASD control strategies. We assess important therapeutic herbs, including <i>Curcuma longa</i> (turmeric), <i>Bacopa monnieri, Ginkgo biloba, Cannabis sativa</i>, and <i>Camellia sinensis</i> (green tea), and talk about their bioactive components, possible modes of action, and clinical results. Several plants have neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities that may work against the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of ASD. The body of data is still small, even if certain…
