SAY GOODBYE TO BRAIN FOG!

Picture
Herbal Teas for Cognitive Enhancement
It's clear that the brain plays a crucial role in guiding all aspects of our body. From our heart rate and emotions to our breathing and movements but also the control center for our thoughts, memory, and actions. Retaining and recalling information is an important aspect of memory. The ability to do so efficiently can be impacted by various changes in the brain, especially after we have been sick with a virus, if we are low in essential nutrients or even as we age.
Conditions like Brain Fog, memory recall and just forgetting where your keys are can be very problematic for many people. Brain fog too can be a contestant battle especially when you are under stress. Eating high-quality foods containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants help to nourish the brain and protect it from cell damage.
The best diet includes vegetables, fish, fruits, and lean meats PLUS water for hydration.
Another effective method for boosting memory and protecting the brain is by incorporating herbal teas tonics into your routine. Certain medicinal herbs contain antioxidants that can help combat cognitive decline, brain fog, and improve brain connections helping memory and optimize brain function.  
Brain Herbs are also known as nootropic herbs and these herbs help cognitive function and promote overall well-being.
Focus and Memory is a specially formulated herbal tea can help enhance your brainpower because it is crafted from a combination of ingredients such as rosehips, gingko, gotu kola, moringa, bacopa, and rosemary. It’s a quick and easy way to help boost your brain power. See you later Brain Fog!

What Herbs are used in the Focus and Memory Tea?
Ginkgo 
Ginkgo, is a TCM herb well-known for its ability to improve circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and this leads to enhanced cognitive function and memory. Science has then backed this up and some studies have suggested that ginkgo has a positive effect on cognitive function, particularly in older adults. A study from 2019 has shown the herb’s ability to protect nerve cells, and this positive effect has been studied in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients with enormously powerful results (1)   Another study published in the journal "Psychopharmacology" found that ginkgo improved memory and attention in healthy young adults (2). The two compounds that are thought to be responsible for these effects are flavonoids and terpenoids which are found in the leaves of this herb. This makes Ginkgo Biloba an excellent tea for memory retention.
Gotu Kola
Gotu Kola, a herb used in Ayurvedic medicine and has been found to help support and improve brain function. Its properties stimulate the release of Brain derived nootropic factor that promotes cell growth in the brain, leading to increased neuroplasticity. The compounds in Gotu Kola also improve memory by increasing blood flow, collagen production, and reducing oxidative stress. Research has demonstrated that a combination of folate and Gotu Kola improved cognitive function and mental clarity after a stroke (3). So of course this herb makes it into the Brain Tea!
Bacopa
Bacopa monnieri, also known as Bacopa or Brahmi, is an herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to enhance cognitive function and memory. Research on Bacopa and brain health has shown that it may improve memory, attention, and cognitive performance. The active compounds in Bacopa, called bacosides, are believed to play a role in this effect by promoting the growth and repair of nerve cells in the brain, and by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters that are important for cognitive function. In addition, several clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Bacopa monnieri in improving cognitive function, memory recall and attention (4).
Moringa
Moringa, also known as the "miracle tree," has been traditionally used in brain health remedies as the Moringa leaves contain high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants help to protect the brain from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, Moringa leaves also contain compounds called flavonoids that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Moringa also helps improve your energy and supports your immune system (5).
Rosemary: The Brain-Boosting Herb
Rosemary has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. But did you know that rosemary can also benefit your brain health? Rosemary contains antioxidants and compounds called terpenoids, which may help protect the brain from damage caused by free radicals and inflammation. These compounds work together to promote brain health and improve cognitive function. One of the most promising benefits of rosemary is its ability to increase the levels of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is important for the growth and survival of nerve cells in the brain and is associated with cognitive function and memory. Studies have shown that rosemary can increase levels of BDNF in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in memory and learning (6)
So it's evident that our brain plays a vital role in guiding all aspects of our body. Keeping our brain healthy is crucial, and incorporating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants is an essential aspect of this. Herbal teas, specifically formulated to boost brain power, can provide an added layer of protection for our brain. Gingko, Gotu Kola, Bacopa, and Moringa are some of the herbs that have been traditionally used in brain teas and have been backed by scientific research to have positive effects on cognitive function and memory. Adding a brain tea tonic to your daily routine may be a simple and effective way to improve your brain health, combat cognitive decline, and say goodbye to brain fog. Phew! Who knew these herbs had such powerful actions? Drinking a Brain Tea Tonic with these nootropic herbs in it is an easy way take advantage of its potential brain-boosting benefits. But it's not all about the benefits, they taste great too.
The natural ingredients used in MeVa Co's Focus and Memory Tea creates a beautiful flavor and aroma that can be enjoyed on its own or with a touch of honey or lemon.
Best of all these herbs are all caffeine free.

    IS PAIN ALL IN YOUR HEAD
    By Connie Vakanis
    Posted 10/19/2016
     
    How pain and emotions are linked
    Pain, pain memory and pain perception are all very real things. The body and mind are amazing tools that work behind the scenes (subconsciously) to keep us safe and healthy.

    For example; you injure yourself playing sport. The body responds by creating pain to stop you from continuing. This is done as a safe guard to inhibit further damage. You stop; go to the Doctor or muscle therapist to help heal the injury. When you’re better you start your sport again however you always seem to feel inhibition (fear) and have pain that no amount of therapy seems to help, or you end up with pain elsewhere.
    This is your bodies’ ‘pain memory’ which is designed to stop us from repeating the injury. It is in your sub-conscious mind, the background running system of our body.
    So YES technically, it is all in your mind.
    Your brain controls your response, your muscles and your emotions to make you stop doing what you are or were doing so as to not repeat the injury. Pretty handy really, but very frustrating also.

    So what can you do?
    This is where Sports Kinesiology has a distinct advantage over other therapies.
    It uses manual muscle testing to help disassociate the pain-emotion connection as well as balance muscles that have become tired, tensed and tight. It works with the physical body as well as the emotional body using a culmination of philosophies, techniques and procedures to help you become re-energised, your muscles to become relaxed and for you to feel rejuvenated
     
    Using this model Connie is able to look beyond the superficial layers of the injury, muscle imbalance, pain or performance issue and find the underlying cause to your problem and address it using specific techniques including things like acupressure (no needles) nutrition or flower essences to give you the best results
