10. Gotu Kola

Sometimes called Indian Pennywort, gotu kola is absolutely amazing when it comes to improving brain function and memory. This herb is used in both traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for the rejuvenation of the mind and body. It’s considered by many to be an anti-aging herb. Studies show that this herb has certain compounds that increase the power of the brain and improves blood circulation to the brain itself, which results in improved concentration and better memory.

 

11.  Sage

Sage is believed by scientists to contain compounds that boost chemicals in the brain that trigger faster transmission of messages in the brain. The Universities of Newcastle and Northumbira conducted a study that involved 44 persons. Half took sage supplements, the other half a placebo. Test results show that those who took sage supplements performed much better in word recall tests than those who took a placebo. Researchers suggest that this might mean sage could offer benefits for those who were affected by Alzheimer’s. Sage can boost the brain chemicals that drop off sharply with the onset of Alzheimer’s.

12. Green Tea

Green tea has powerful antioxidant compounds, much like rosemary and green tea. Recent studies verify this benefit in a study conducted in March of 20.13. Green tea extracts were shown to help protect the proteins and lipids from age related damage caused by oxidation. In animal studies, those that were given green tea extracts showed much improved learning abilities. This suggests that green tea can protect the hippocampus of the brain from age-related decline.

Even if memory problems can be linked to a specific cause, it’s comforting to know that these issues can be reversed using some of Mother Nature’s natural herbs that appear to be designed just for this purpose. Besides being used traditionally for hundreds of years, and in some cases for thousands of years, these herbs can be trusted to be both effective and safe.
