Heritage and Science
Throughout history people have used the plants around them to improve memory and support brain health as they age.
Botanical “tonics” have played an indispensable role in this. Modern scientific research now shows the remarkable cognitive benefits of these medicinal plants.
European sage, peppermint, rosemary, melissa, Middle Eastern kalonji/nigella, Indian ashwagandha, and the aquatic plant, bacopa are among those that have undergone scientific study to show the mechanisms by which these plant’s chemicals ingredients engage with the brain and influence neuronal signals and receptors, leading to enhanced memory and focus.
European sage, melissa, bacopa, nigella, and blueberry also have gold standard clinical trial evidence.
Sage is one of our high status European medicinal tonics and is the reason Dilston Physic Garden began. Esteemed for centuries as a ‘cure-all’ it increases the brain’s principal neurotransmitter responsible for memory, attention, and consciousness (acetylcholine), a signal that decreases in the brain as we age and whose signalling system is affected in Alzheimer’s. Gold standard clinical trials have shown European sage improves memory and mood in the young, the old and those with Alzheimer’s.
Sage is anti inflammatory, antimicrobial and has been demonstrated clinically to help control blood lipid levels and oxidative stress markers, and control blood glucose – all of which are involved in upholding optimal brain health.
Furthermore, the majority of the medicinal plants featured in this tea blend possess compounds that lower oxidative stress and inflammation. Both of these actions are instrumental, not only in preserving the vitality of these plants in their natural habitats, but supporting the body and mind of humans.
Did you know?
You can take this tea to support memory and focus and overall brain health, but to effectively treat a condition with medicinal plants, you need to reach a medicinal dose. A medicinal dose of tea for adults is the equivalent of 2 teabags steeped for 20 minutes and taken 3x daily.
In addition, for effective treatment with plant medicine it is also important to take a prescription that is relevant to the individual and their holistic needs, taking into account all conditions and any other medication, and also monitoring the individual response, for which we recommend consulting a NIMH medical herbalist.
Caution
When taking any medicinal plant at a medicinal level, always first consult a NIMH medical herbalist or healthcare professional before giving to a child, if you are pregnant, have any medical condition or allergy, or if you are taking any medication. Do not stop taking any medication you have been prescribed without consulting your health care professional.
