Boost Your Mental Energy
.

In all of history, the human mind has never been more mentally challenged. The requirements of living in the modern era include an enormous amount of mental energy. Everybody is working with computers, and computers require logic and focus. All the so-called conveniences of the modern era are designed to use the mind rather than the body. We are getting more work done because of our computers, but that means that we have to keep more on our virtual desktop than would have been conceivable a decade ago.  

So in this explosive, breakthrough period of mind over matter, techno-machine over body, it is imperative that everybody remain in top mental condition at all times. As a result, there has been an explosion of interest in "brain supplements" in the past several years. The explosion of coffee houses and coffee utilization reflects our current need as a society form more mental energy. But coffee ultimately may not be the best way to get the most out of our minds.

Through the centuries, a number of herbs have been identified that improve mental functioning. Some make people more alert. Some calm the mind, increasing its ability to remain clear and increasing mental power. Some are reputed to increase creative ability. Others promote concentration and focus. All of the following herbs have been used for thousand's of years and have been determined to be generally free of side effects when used properly.

Mind-Strengthening Herbs
.

Panax Ginseng is a marvelous mind tonic. Ginseng is revered for its psychic and mental strengthening powers. It is widely believed in Asia that good quality ginseng can actually increase intelligence. Students in China and Japan consume ginseng during exams. All good Ginseng will strengthen the mind, but don't expect cheap Ginseng products to have much of an effect on the mind.

Eleutherococcus (Siberian Ginseng) has a huge reputation as a mental tonic and as a mental stimulant, similar to the stimulation one gets from coffee. It is considered to be faster acting than Panax ginseng. Studies have demonstrated that people are more alert after they consume Eleutherococcus. This herb has been used by cosmonauts in the Soviet space program.

Deer Antler contains neurotransmitters which many studies have shown improves the cognitive functions of the mind. It is considered to be a very powerful brain tonic, used to improve creativity and concentration.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used in Asia for over two thousand years to improve the capacity of the mind. It is believed to improve memory. Buddhists and Taoists believe that it improves understanding and comprehension. Regular users claim that Reishi helps to link ideas together so that understanding is easier. It is not a mental stimulant, in fact it is mildly sedative, but strengthens the mind over time. Reishi does not cause drowsiness and is considered to be the most important herb in Chinese herbalism.

Schizandra is one of the major herbs almost always used in mind tonic formulations. It has a centuries-old reputation as an alertness enhancing substance. It is also one of the best tonics to the part of the mind responsible for memory. If you have a poor memory, you must remember to use Schizandra.

Polygonatum (Polygonatum sibericum) is believed to be rejuvenating to the mind. It replenishes energy that has been drained due to overwork, over-thinking, excessive stress and lack of sleep. It is a very important brain tonic.

Lycium is the fundamental Kidney tonic herb of Chinese herbalism. The Kidneys provide the energy to the brain and mind. Lycium replenishes mental energy.

Ginkgo leaf extract (Ginkgo biloba) has been proven to improve blood circulation to the brain and therefore to improve brain function. Studies show that those who take Ginkgo biloba experience improved memory and ability to concentrate.

Gynostemma is a superb adaptogen and energizes the body and mind. It is considered to be an excellent mind tonic, extending the range of thinking and mental capacity.
