Memory Loss

Verbal amnesia is the most common form is memory loss. In this condition, the person forgets words or names.  An uncommon form of amnesia, or memory loss, is temporary loss of memory, in which a person even forgets his own identity, including his name, age, family background, and any recollection of the past.  Memory loss is common as we age, and can be a sign of Alzheimer’s Disease or senile dementia.

Home Remedies For Memory Loss:

Rosemary:

A very effective remedy for memory loss is the use of the herb rosemary. Rosemary has long been regarded as a herb for remembrance. In ancient times, the Greeks and the Romans prepared fragrant distilled water from the flowers of this plant and inhaled the aroma, so that 'the evils were destroyed from the mind and the memory no longer played tricks.' Rosemary is considered to be an antidote for mental fatigue and forgetfulness. A tea made from Rosemary, drunk once or twice a day, is an effective natural remedy for enhancing mental agility.

Brahmi Booti:

Another herb useful in amnesia is brahmi booti, or Bacopa scrophulariaceae. About seven grams of this herb, dried in the shade and ground in water, along with seven kernels of almonds, and half a gram of pepper, should be strained and sweetened with twenty-five grams of sugar. It should be drunk every morning on an empty stomach.

Sage:

Sage is beneficial for a weak memory or loss of memory. It acts on the cortex of the brain, relieves mental exhaustion, and strengthens the ability to concentrate. A tea prepared from dried sage leaves can be used regularly for this purpose.

Almonds:

Almonds are a powerful restorative for a poor memory.  They contain unique properties to strengthen the brain.  Almonds preserve the vitality of the brain and cure nervous disorders. Ten to twelve almonds should be immersed in water overnight and their outer skin removed. They should then be made into a fine paste and taken, mixed with one teaspoonful of butter or even alone. Inhaling ten to fifteen drops of almond oil through the nose, morning and evening, is also beneficial in the treatment of memory loss.

Walnuts:

Walnuts are another unique dry fruit valuable in countering memory loss.   About twenty grams of walnuts should be taken every day. The value of walnuts is enhanced if they are taken with figs or raisins in a proportion of ten grams each, every day.

Apples:

Apples and other phosphorus-rich fruits such as figs, grapes, oranges, and dates are useful in restoring memory.  Various chemical substances like vitamin B1, phosphorus, and potassium help in the synthesis of glutamic acid. This acid controls the wear and tear of nerve cells. Eating an apple a day with one teaspoon of honey and one cup of milk is beneficial in the treatment of loss of memory and mental irritability. It acts as an effective nerve tonic and recharges the nerves with new energy and life.
