Abstract in brief

Herbal medicines are commonly used to treat mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and insomnia due to their perceived safety compared to Western medications.
Research has shown that herbs can work by affecting brain chemistry and hormonal systems, such as reuptaking mood-related chemicals, modifying receptor activity, and influencing the body's stress response.
