Abstract: Dementia in the elderly is an epidemic of unprecedented proportion in modern medicine. An epidemic ofdiseases like Alzheimer’s has not yet been met by effective symptomatic treatments or preventative strategies. Among a few current prescription drugs are cholinesterase inhibitors (Donapezil) and N-methyl D-Aspartate receptor antagonist (Memantine). Furthermore, multitude of pharmaceutical agents are available for the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety and insomnia, but many patients have difficulty tolerating the side effects, do not respond adequately, or eventually lose their response. Research into ethnobotanicals for memory or cognition and anxiety has burgeoned in recent years. The herbs that promote especially the intelligence are known as Medhya herbs. Therapeutic herbs and nutrients have far fewer side effects and many provide an alternative treatment or can be used to enhance the effect of prescription medications.
