Abstract
The fact that cardiovascular diseases have continued to be the top cause of death across the world over the course of many years hammers home the crucial need of discovering breakthrough therapeutic approaches. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potentially beneficial method due to the fact that it has the ability to boost functional improvement and facilitate the regeneration of tissue. This has led to the application of stem cell therapy by the medical community. On the other hand, its therapeutic efficacy has been impeded by a variety of obstacles, including insufficient engraftment and survival of transplanted cells. These difficulties have made it difficult for it to be effective. In this context, herbal medicine, which has been utilised for a very long time and has a wide variety of bioactive components, presents itself as a powerful instrument that has the potential to enhance stem cell therapy for cardiovascular diseases.
