A study suggests that Teucrium polium, commonly known as felty germander, can be used to improve memory following menopause. The paper, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, looked at the effects of T. polium on nerve activity in the hippocampus using bilateral ovariectomized (OVX) rats.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded that T. polium reduced OVX-induced neurodegenerative changes in the hippocampus and modulated cell survival through regulating activity and network plasticity.
