Synopsis

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I present this edited volume, “From Ancient Roots to Nano Routes: Targeted Delivery of Ginkgo and Gastrodia for Parkinson’s disease (PD) Treatment” This book brings together the collective wisdom of researchers, clinicians, and academicians who are working at the intersection of traditional herbal medicine and cutting-edge nanotechnology, aiming to create more effective, targeted, and patient-centered therapeutic strategies for PD.

The vision behind this book is to bridge the timeless legacy of natural remedies with the transformative potential of modern nanomedicine. PD, with its complex and multifactorial pathology, demands approaches that go beyond conventional therapies. By exploring the neuroprotective properties of Ginkgo biloba and Gastrodia elata, and advancing their potential through nanocarrier-based delivery systems, this volume highlights a holistic and innovative path forward.
