As a chronic psychiatric disorder, schizophrenia affects the worldwide population with a lifetime prevalence of 1% and considerable long-term mortality, morbidity, and burden.

There is an emerging role for herbal medicine in the treatment of schizophrenia. In this review we focus on some herbal medicines that have been reported to have some effects on schizophrenia.
