Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory impairment, and behavioral changes. Traditional medicinal plants, particularly Bacopa monnieri and Withania somnifera, have been extensively studied for their neuroprotective properties. This review examines their pharmacological mechanisms, clinical evidence, and therapeutic potential in AD management, highlighting roles in oxidative stress modulation, anti-inflammatory effects, amyloid clearance, and cognitive enhancement. Cumulative evidence suggests these herbs could serve as complementary or adjunctive therapies in AD, though further rigorous clinical trials are warranted.
