**4. Concluding remarks**

Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases have multiple etiology. Multiple studies have been developed to clarify which approaches might be promising in prevention and treatment. We have targeted studies that present a neuroprotective perspective, herbal medicines and essential oils from different species of medicinal plants. These have various bioactive and phytochemical compounds with neuroprotective capacity, and also have given positive responses in studies on neurological disorders such as dementia, oxidative stress, anxiety, cerebral ischemia and oxidative toxicity. We suggest that these present a potential as agents in the treatment of neurological disorders.
