The most robust interventional evidence currently available shows tentative support for several use of the elements via horticultural and nature-exposure therapy, green exercise/physical activity, sauna and heat therapy, balneotherapy, and breathing exercises.

The neuroprotective effect of a traditional herbal (kyung‐ok‐ko) on transient middle cerebral artery occlusion‐Induced ischemic rat brain
We examined whether KOK improves functional recovery and has a neuroprotective effect on infarction volume after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). KOK (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) was administered orally following reperfusion and twice per day for 14 days post‐MCAO. Infarction volume was measured using 2% 2‐3‐5 triphenylterazolium (TTC) staining at 14 days post‐MCAO and alteration in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) after KOK treatment was monitored. Functional improvement was evaluated using adhesive removal and treadmill tests at 1, 7, and 14 days post‐MCAO. Also, apoptotic cell death was assess...

From kitchen to clinic: Pharmacotherapeutic potential of common spices in Indian cooking in age-related neurological disorders
Aging is described as an advanced time-related collection of changes that may negatively affect with the risk of several diseases or death. Aging is a main factor of several age-related neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia), stroke, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, brain tumors, oxidative stress, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Currently available medications for age-related neurological disorders may lead to several side effects, such as headache, diarrhea, nausea, gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, dyskinesia, and hallucinosis. These day...
