Abstract: With the rapid aging of the global population, the incidence of cognitive dysfunction is on the rise. The efficacy of existing clinical medications has been less than satisfactory, leading researchers to explore traditional medicinal practices. Tibetan medicine, a vital segment of traditional medicine, has been extensively utilized for the treatment of mental, psychological, and neurological conditions. Modern clinical and experimental pharmacological studies have shown that Rhodiola L., Terminalia chebula Retz., Sibiraea laevigata (L.) Maxim., Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, Gymnadeniaconopsea (L.) R. Br., Crocus sativus L., Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst., Seventy Flavor Pearl Pills, Twenty-Five Flavor Coral Pills, Ruyi Treasure Pills, and Twenty-Five Flavor Pearl Pills have effects on improving cognitive dysfunction. This review meticulously examines the research progress on these Tibetan medicinal substances for their role in mitigating cognitive dysfunction, with the goal of providing valuable insights for the development of novel therapeutic approaches to cognitive deterioration.
