A herb used in China for centuries may help stroke patients suffering from dementia.
Experts tested the herbal medicine in a clinical trial and found it lived up to its reputation.
The drug, extracted from an orchid and six other plants, has been used since 100 AD for treating dizziness, headache and stroke.
It was found to significantly increase mental function in a three-month study of 120 stroke patients.
The remedy, known as gastrodine compound granule, is the first herbal drug for dementia to be tested in clinical trials at hospitals in China.
