Prolonged space flight: Adverse health effects and treatment options with medicinal plants and natural products

Abstract: Exposure to zero gravity causes many physiological changes which may result to affect the health of people involved in space travel. The current review summarizes current knowledge on the start and progression of space motion sickness, bone loss, muscle loss, cardiovascular disorders, respiratory problems, and neuronal and hormonal problems. Around 70% of astronauts suffer from space adaption syndrome, fluid changes, and head motions. It has also been suggested that otolith asymmetries and Coriolis cross-coupl… Show more

“…The adverse physiological effects of extended space travel are highly variable and continue to be an obstacle in carrying out missions (Bhuyan et al, 2023). There is a plethora of health issues involved, including microgravity, bone density loss, impaired gut microbiota, and central fluid shift (Simanonok and Charles, 1994;Turroni et al, 2020;Bhuyan et al, 2023) Longer space travel invariably leads to rising health concerns that can be addressed using medications. However, storing copious amounts of pills and vitamins for unpredictable health concerns is not practical due to limited storage space.…”
