A stroke causes serious and long term brain disability due to disruption in the blood flow to the brain. Clinically major changes occur in brain functions are seen after brain ischemia and reperfusion. Patients show emotional, behavioural, and cognitive alterations during retrieval time. Cerebral injury by transient ischemia distresses the number of patients globally with death or long term disability. In recent years a great deal of research has been carried out to find the effectiveness of the herbal drug for the treatment of stroke. Both thrombolytic and neuro-protective activities of herbal drugs may be a new strategy for effective stroke treatment. This article reviews the list of universally used plants effective for brain stroke therapies. The purpose of this article was to collect the herbal drugs useful in brain stroke therapies.
