Advances in the Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions for Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by progressive cognitive and memory impairment. Recent research on neurodegenerative diseases has demonstrated the importance of the brain-gut axis, which has gradually become a hotspot in the field of AD research. The gut microbiota has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for millennia in China for the treatment of disease. This article summarises recent research on the use of TCM prescriptions for treating AD. It is hoped that this review will provide new ideas for the treatment of AD.
