Neuroprotection is very elusive. No definitive medical treatments exist except cold. Prescription steroids have been tried but they do not work emphatically well to prevent further brain injury and definitely are not natural.
So here is an alternative. Oil of BERGAMOT.
Of course this an intrapertoneal rat study not a human clinical trial but it did reduce the amount of dead brain tissue damaged by artificially induced ischemia. Who would have guessed, BERGAMOT?

Perhaps drinking Earl Grey Tea (BERGAMOT) is a good idea. Ever notice the tiny droplets of oil in the tea cup after steeping the tea? Bergamot is also thought of as an antidepressant. Perhaps that is why the BRITS have gravitated towards it in their cultural tea drinking habits. Treats the Seasonal Affective Disorder S.A.D. from lack of sunshine endemic too their climate.
Just some thoughts which have not been investigated in clinical human trials either.
But I love to “extrapolate”.
