Neuropathy, characterized by tingling and numbness in hands and feet, significantly impacts quality of life due to nerve damage.
Conventional treatments for neuropathy often have side effects and may not be effective, prompting interest in medicinal plants.
Research highlights ten promising plants that may help protect and repair nerves, including rosemary, cayenne pepper, and ginkgo biloba.
Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can protect neurons and manage pain.
Cayenne pepper’s active compound, capsaicin, can reduce nerve sensitivity and improve circulation, crucial for nerve health.
Ginkgo biloba enhances blood flow to nerves, providing essential oxygen and nutrients for nerve health and regeneration.
Moringa, known for its nutritional profile, contains compounds that protect nerves from damage, particularly in cases of diabetic neuropathy.
