Description

For this literature review, a range of databases were used such as Google Search, PubMed, and Web of Science (mentioned all the ones you used). The search strategy used was a combination of terms such as "medicinal plant compounds," "plant polysaccharides on metabolic diseases," "effects of berberine on diabetes mellitus," " and "effects of medicinal plants on Alzheimer's." Articles chosen for review were published between 2020 and 2022, and only studies in the English language were considered. The majority of the selected studies were devised to observe and analyze the effects of medicinal plant compounds on various systemic diseases. Medicinal plants have showcased promising outcomes in palliating systemic diseases with fewer side effects in comparison to traditional medicine. The observed beneficial impacts, particularly with compounds like Berberine, indicate the potential for further exploration and clinical trials in formulating alternative therapeutic approaches for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, or Alzheimer’s.
