Parkinson’s disease has been regarded as a common, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis of PD, despite of advancements in our understanding of PD, is still very poorly understood. The Parkinson’s disease (PD) is prevailing since several thousands of year. In the Indian Traditional System of Medicine, it is known as Kampvat, occurring due to excess of Vat in the central nervous system and characterized by the same features such as tremors, rigidity of muscles, hypokinesia, and postural imbalance. The Ayurved mentions loss of smell and taste as the early signs of Kampvat. These signs are now also mentioned in the modern medicines.The review summarises, evaluates, and clarifies the literature relevant to the current study. A lot of work has been carried out on animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), pathophysiology of PD, mechanism of action of various drugs used in PD, and usefulness of medicinal plants in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The review covers deeper analysis of a specific work carried out on PD. The review also refers to works that have been derived from both primary and secondary sources.
