Abstract EN
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is practiced in the Chinese health care system for more than 2,000 years.
In recent years, herbal medicines, which are used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) in China based on TCM or modern pharmacological theories have attracted considerable attention.
In this paper, we discuss etiology and pathogenesis of AD, TCM therapy, and herbal extracts for the treatment of AD.
There is evidence to suggest that TCM therapy may offer certain complementary cognitive benefits for the treatment of AD.
Chinese herb may have advantages with multiple target regulation compared with the single-target antagonist in view of TCM.
