Parkinson's disease, a chronic, degenerative disorder of the nervous system, results from a lack of dopamine-producing brain cells. Instead of spending time and money on allopathic treatments that can often do more harm than good, there are natural remedies you can take to effectively combat Parkinson's. Herbs and spices for Parkinson's disease, in particular, are among the most researched.

Top herbs and spices

1. Green tea

Not many people can say anything bad about green tea these days, and for good reason. In addition to helping you lose weight, fight cancer, and age gracefully, green tea is also showing signs that it may help against Parkinson's disease. Investigations by Dr. Baolu Zhao specifically show that green tea polyphenols protect dopamine neurons. A similar study at Seoul National University College of Medicine found that EGCG, the neuroprotective agent in green tea, reduced neuronal death rates by half when administered to mice.

2. Brahmi

This Ayurvedic herb, also known as bacopa, is commonly used as an aquatic plant in aquariums in the United States. Some practitioners like Dr. Ray Sahelian advocate its use as a memory enhancer, as has been used in India for centuries. According to studies at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Brahmi can improve blood flow to the brain and even protect brain cells. Another study from the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine used brahmi seed powder on rodent models of Parkinson's disease. The results showed promising results in fighting the disease and protecting the brain from damage.

3. Pruriens

A popular herb in India, cowgrass or kapikachu, is found in bushes in lowland forests across the country. It caught the attention of the University of Maryland Medical Center, which speculated that cowgrass containing levodopa, or L-dopa, might perform better than L-dopa, which is given as a drug for Parkinson's disease.

4. Turmeric

We can't stop talking about turmeric and there are many reasons why. Michigan State University researcher Basir Ahmad also seems to be a fan. He led a team of researchers who found that curcumin, a compound of turmeric, may help fight Parkinson's disease by destroying the proteins responsible for the disease and preventing the aggregation of these proteins.

5. Gingko Biloba

Although ginkgo is not as good as green tea in rigorous laboratory tests, it remains a potentially useful herb for Parkinson's patients. In a 2012 study at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Mexico, a patented extract of ginkgo leaves was delivered to animal models of Parkinson's disease. The extract showed neuroprotective and neurorecovery effects against damage to dopamine neurons in the midbrain and even against locomotion. The researchers said: "These studies suggest that this represents an alternative for future treatment of Parkinson's disease."

Extra tip

Cold-pressed, certified organic coconut oil is also used to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s. People get good results with 1 tablespoon 2-3x daily.
