They say that fish and various sea foods encourages the brain to work hard. personally, I’ve never found that to be true. There have been studies on Omega-acids that points to this and I would encourage anyone who is seeking to better themselves to try this in the form of a supplement.

Ginseng can be found in some kind of teas, as a ground powder, and if you’re real lucky it can be found in your local whole foods store whole and untampered with. Ginseng is one of the few things that I can say without a doubt helps me when I feel like it’s going to be one of those days. It had a natural “pick me up” quality that lends you energy and offers to clear up some of the gunk in your mind.

Ginkgo can also be found in powder form or in local whole foods stores. Mostly I use this herb when I have to retain a great deal of information and I’m having trouble keeping it all in. I prefer to take both ginkgo and ginseng as natural powders that I mix with something tasty that I cook for dinner.

Keep in mind, as always, that when you use herbal supplements it may take you some time to get the dosage that is right for you. I would strongly, strongly recommend that you start with a dosage as small as a teaspoon before you try anything more adventurous. Most herbal remedies will not harm you, but I would still never try too much as once.

If you have any kind of illness, any at all, speak to your doctor before you try to supplement with any kind of herbs.
