(08-04-11) Cope with brain fog and improve memory naturally

by Fleur Hupston


(NaturalNews) Loss of concentration or mental fogginess does not only afflict
the elderly. Rushed modern living, technology overload, divorce and other
stress factors contribute to distracted thinking. In addition, memory loss can
be the result of heavy metal poisoning, traumas, certain vaccines, exposure to
mold or chemicals and so on. Improve the memory with some simple home
treatments.

Since the causes of brain fog are many and symptoms can range from absent-
mindedness to dementia, before embarking on any home treatment, visit your
naturopath or homeopath to try to find the cause and a suitable treatment.

Acute confusion is sometimes treated by homeopaths with belladonna. Chronic
confusion is treated with alumina, where confusion is accompanied by
irritability and obstinacy.

An imbalance of the mineral Silica causes poor memory, absent-mindedness and
ponderous thought patterns and movements. Take tissue salt no. 12 (Silica)
regularly to counter these difficulties.

Tissue salt no. 8 (Mag. Phos) helps when there is an inability to concentrate
and for forgetfulness.

Traditionally, ginseng powder added to an herbal tea is used to improve the
symptoms of poor memory, confusion and agitation.

Ensure sufficient intake of magnesium, calcium, vitamin B and fish oil to
protect cells from the damaging effects of free radials.

Too much going on at once can definitely cause an inability to focus or
concentrate. An old fashioned list that sets priorities is still one of the
best ways to manage time. Computers, phones, TV, tending to kids and
extramurals, and so on can contribute to disorganization. Have a technology
break now and again.

Get enough sleep. Constant sleep interruptions can leave one with an inability
to stay alert. Try having power naps during the day or going to bed earlier.
See your naturopath if you suspect a sleep disorder.

Procrastination and poor work performance may be signs of job dissatisfaction,
which can result in mind wandering and aimlessness. Yoga and meditation can
counter the lack of concentration that results from stress.

Avoid artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and all foods containing refined
sugar.

Keep consumption of alcohol to a minimum.

Stay away from additives such as sodium nitrite (an excitotoxin found in
processed meats).

Avoid products containing monosodium glutamate (an excitotoxin).

Don't cook food in non-stick cookware. This can also affect brain function due
to the toxins released from coated pots and pans at high temperatures.
