        <p style=”text-align: justify;”>My husband had a stroke in 2018. He slowed down some and has to think through things more than before. He takes an herb concoction of turmeric, frankincense, myrrh, and fenugreek  instead of a blood thinner.  Do you think these herbs can also help his stroke brain? Are there others that could help?</p>

          It’s very difficult to reverse damage done to the brain long ago but there are certainly herbs that can help what’s there work better. :0)

          Have a look at the Memory & Alertness formula. That’s the one I use on stroke cases. It’s also the one I use to get past 3 in the afternoon without a Mountain Dew.  Don’t take it at bedtime or you’ll be counting lots of sheep. :0)

          I talk a lot about the herbs in that formula and other brain topics in the Nervous System lessons.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              Hello. I have Ginkgo Biloba in mind. As always, please research the herb before taking, to make sure if it is a fit.

                Thank you!  I am new here and just getting started.  Please forgive me if you’ve answered this question elsewhere.  If so, just ignore me.  🙂 Is this formula safe for children?  I have a child who was iron deficient at birth (and for two years after) and though that has been resolved, she was left with developmental delays.  She is happy, healthy, and making progress, but I’d love something to help her continue to learn and thrive.  Always learning about the brain!

                    It might be a bit over stimulating for little kids as a long term intervention. Unless they have ADHD, in which case it often has the reverse effect and calms them.

                  One book that I have recommends flax seeds or flax seed oil for the omega-3 specific to it. Milky oat tops (unripe) are also recommended. The book is called Be Your Own Doctor II by Rachel Weaver, M.H. if you are interested. The series of books she wrote is very good.

                      fatty acids are really good for the brain. Purselane is a tasty, good source as well.

                          Is there a way to preserve purslane and its omegas for winter use?

                              I’d throw it in the freezer and then use it in smoothies.

                              The Barlean’s Omega products are good sources of fatty acids too and kid’s love them.

                                  What about freeze drying herbs, like purslance (or any herb)?  Would it stay potent longer, also by packing it without air?

                            What are the most helpful herbs for the ADHD brain? Ones that will help with frontal lobe function.

                              Have a look at the Nervous System II lesson. I have a formula there,

                              https://homesteadacademy.com/course/homegrown-herbalist/lessons/nervous-system-ii-issues-interventions/

                              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                                Once you start taking the formula how long before one might notice the benefits?
