Do you constantly find yourself wondering what you were just doing 🧐?
Struggling to remember things that you swear were just on the tip of your tongue 👅? Brain fog?
Struggling to concentrate?

Diet and herbs are HUGE allies when it comes to brain energy –
increasing circulation in the brain, reducing inflammation and act as antihistamines while also helping to manage the stress response by leveling out cortisol levels.
When it comes to focus, concentration & memory (what we like to call brain energy) – combinations of herbs are the way to go – nourishing, strengthening and calming all at the same time. Which is why they also are included in the tonic and adaptogen category of herbs.
There are some GREAT combination of herbs for kids, teens and the elderly, that combined with dietary boosts, can make huge changes without the side effects of ADHD meds.
Two of the very best combinations of brain boosting herbs I know of are
Focus by Banyan Botanicals (I can’t say enough good things about this company and their work to bring sustainable, organic Ayurvedic herbs to the West)
Brain by Host Defense (another company I can’t say enough good about and their work to bring sustainable medicinal mushrooms to the West)
Fish oil is another key player here…but we’ll get to that in another post
[Caution should be used if you are taking blood thinners or blood pressure meds – so consult a qualified herbalist if you are taking other meds
