A study by researchers in Taiwan revealed that myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) could be a promising natural treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The study, which was published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines, aimed to determine the neuroprotective effects of myrobalan extracts and ellagic acid in an animal cellular model.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that myrobalan extracts might be used as a promising natural medicine for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
