Herbal Remedies For Concentration

Problems with concentration can be the result of fatigue, dietary imbalance or a side effect of some illnesses. The first step is to look for the cause; if it is tiredness that makes you feel disoriented, try to go to bed earlier - the sleep you have before midnight is more refreshing.

Arrange to have an evening o "me time" each week, to take time to replenish your energy. Check your diet - keep a food diary for a week in order to decide which changes are needed. Check how much alcohol you drink as this can impair concentration.

Alongside these steps, you can use herbal miracles, such as dandelion, sage and ginger, and nourishing foods to build up your strength and help to clarify your thought processes.

Stress, Anxiety And Concentration

Stress and anxiety can seriously impair your concentration because when you are worrying , your focus is always partly on the problem on your mind rather than the task oat hand. This makes it difficult to focus fully on anything else, and your mind feels fuzzy and your thought processes dissipated.

For example, this can often happen if you are trying to study for an exam or if you are working hard to meet an important deadline. Your unease and nervousness are always at the back of your mind, causing your thoughts to wander.

If you are stressed and can't concentrate, take some steps to ease this if possible. Use herbs to relax and if you can talk someone you trust so that you don't feel alone with the problem.

Help yourself work gradually through the stress with herbs that allow you to think more clearly and feel mentally fresh and bright.

Herbs That Help Concentration

Rosemary~This herb is invaluable for increasing your powers of concentration. It is a tonic for exhaustion or for fatigue after illness and also helps to lift the spirits if you are feeling low.

You can boil rosemary in water to make a tea, or add a sprig of it to your bathwater.

Rosemary will lift your mood due to its antidepressant properties.

Thyme~Among its other properties, thyme is antibacterial, sedative, stimulant and tonic. It is a useful herb for when you are recuperating from illness and helps to ease symptoms of depression.

Thyme makes alcohol taste very unpleasant, so if you are intending to cut down on your intake, put two tbsp of thyme in hot water, infuse for 30 minutes, then drink.

To improve your brain power, add thyme to recipes especially those with fish.

Sage~As sage is able to improve the function of most of the organs in the body, it can help to boost your concentration. Drink sage tea, burn the dried leaves of this plant as a natural incense that will aid concentration, or rub the leaves into powder and add to hot water.

Burdock~This herb is a bitter tonic that is digestive, cleansing and purifying. The cleansing action of burdock helps to clear your head and increase your concentration.
