In today's world, neurological disorders, which encompass a variety of neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental issues, are the leading causes of disability and mortality. One of the main causes of genesis of several brain disorders and the neuronal damage is oxidative stress, which is generated by an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aim of this study is to present an unbiased assessment of the evidence in favor of using phytomedicines to treat brain disorders. There is a captivating case for multidisciplinary teamwork among neuroscientists, pharmacologists, clinicians, and practitioners of traditional medicine, especially growing interest in plant medicine to improve the potential of phytomedicines in neurology. Phytomedicines offer a potential new frontier in the treatment of brain disorders with their multifaceted therapeutic approach based on natural sources.
