The leaves of the elya plant (Elatostema papillosum) have been found to prevent neurocognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. In a study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the antioxidant and anticholinesterase properties of the leaves of the elya plant were assessed to correlate it to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
In conclusion, the findings of the study suggested that the elya leaf extract can potentially reduce the risk of various degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease because of its antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities.
