ABSTRACT:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder marked by progressive cognitive decline, memory impairment, and behavioural disturbances. Despite extensive research efforts, current therapeutic options remain limited, and there is a pressing need for novel interventions that can slow or halt disease progression. Recently, attention has turned towards natural compounds with potential neuroprotective effects. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) and black cumin (Nigella sativa) are two such herbs that have been historically used in traditional medicine for a variety of health conditions. This review examines the current scientific literature on the neuroprotective potential of Fenugreek and Nigella sativa, focusing on their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neurogenic properties in the context of Alzheimer’s disease. The review also explores the possibility of these herbs being incorporated into integrative therapeutic strategies for AD, alongside conventional treatments, and highlights areas for future research.
