Concentration is useful and necessary on a daily basis to accomplish certain tasks, whether in your personal life, professional life or even in class for the students. However, she is fragile! It is not enough to tell yourself that you have to focus to achieve it. Indeed, it is a question of a mental orientation in one and the same direction. But contrary to some popular belief, you should know that concentration is not under your direct control. It depends on many factors which are both internal (related to sleep or anxiety for example) and external such as the environment. To no longer suffer from it, know that it is possible to remedy it, initially, naturally.

Maidenhair tree

Maidenhair tree is a plant native to China. It has been used since the dawn of time to boost memory . Indeed, it is scientifically proven that the leaves of this tree improve cerebral blood microcirculation. You can use gingko as a classic herbal tea . Boil water and add dried leaves. During the exam period, for example , students are advised to drink three cups a day, in the morning, at noon and in the evening for about three weeks. 

It is also possible to follow a "basic treatment", that is to say to regularly consume gingko infusion to maintain your memory. It is no coincidence that our grandmothers and their ancestors used this plant! However, do not overdo it, plants are powerful. Do not hesitate to seek professional advice .

Magnesium

It is well known that magnesium improves memory and concentration. Moreover, it is common to follow a magnesium cure during exams. However, the ideal is to consume it regularly through the diet . You should know that cocoa powder, Brazil nuts, almonds or even sunflower seeds contain a lot of it. Magnesium is a mineral that maintains the plasticity of synapses. That is, it improves the connection between the cells of our brain. It is for this reason that we generally propose to do some cures in the form of supplements. However, it should not be abused. You can do a 150mg magnesium cure in the morning for a few months. And of course to consume foods that provide us regularly and naturally!

Cypress essential oil

Cypress essential oil is indicated to prevent memory loss and to promote concentration. E lle promotes blood circulation, especially in the brain . It is for this reason that it is useful in the context of memory loss. And often I recommend it to students taking exams who have too much to learn! 

Like all essential oils, beware of its potency. But without contraindication, you can put a drop of cypress essential oil on a sugar and consume it twice a day for three days. Attention i l is important not to use during pregnancy,  the breastfeeding or if you suffer from certain diseases like fibroids or mastoses. It is also not recommended for children. If in doubt, seek professional advice.

The bacopa/ Waterhyssop

Bacopa is a plant widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. The Indians consumed a lot of it to improve their intellectual performance. Bacopa increases the production of proteins in the part of the brain responsible for long-term memory . It is known to improve the speed of brain function. Bacopa is hard to find, but you can buy it at drugstores, usually in capsule form. It is necessary to respect the dosages and not hesitate to seek advice from a specialist in medicinal plants so that the treatment is really effective.

By adopting these few principles, you will definitely notice positive effects on your ability to concentrate. So when do you start?
