Prevent Memory Loss
excerpt from: New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way
* Improve your memory fast with meditation. Start with five minutes a day. You can do it! Breathe out.
* Researchers doing double-blind studies on treatments for those with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s, consistently note that placebos generate a very strong response. In one instance, those on the placebo did so well that it was suspected that they did not have sufficient impairment at the beginning of the study. So get a bottle, label it “Memory Pills,” fill it with candy or nuts, and take one every time you forget to.
* Ginkgo biloba tincture has been well studied for the treatment of those dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia. In one study, those taking the leaf extract, 27 percent maintained cognitive functioning and memory, while 86 percent of the placebo group lost functioning. CAUTION: Ginkgo increases aspirin’s blood-thinning effects.
* Mental exercise (word puzzles, reading, writing) and physical exercise are important aspects of nourishing and tonifying the brain and memory. Memorize poetry and recite it for friends. Volunteer for community theater and memorize your part. The more you use your memory, the stronger it will be.
* Lower your blood pressure and improve your memory. In a study of 200 men and women, those with even moderately high blood pressure (164/89) had more memory problems than those with normal blood pressures. A dropperful of motherwort tincture (Leonurus cardiaca) daily dependably lowers blood pressure and can generally be used safely with drugs if desired. (Do not use capsules of any herb while you are taking a drug.)
* My father had been taking 400 IU of d-alpha tocopherol (supplement form of vitamin E) and 2- 3 dropperfuls of ginkgo tincture (not capsules) since his non-Alzheimer's dementia was first apparent, years ago. His doctors were amazed at the glacial pace of his losses.
* Think taking estrogen will save your memory? Think again. The largest (120 women) scientifically rigorous study (Journal of the American Medical Association, January 23, 2000), found 80 percent of the women taking estrogen replacement (and 74 percent of the women taking a placebo) had less memory, less ability to perform daily tasks, and less cognitive functioning after fifteen months of treatment.

Herbal and Home Remedies That Prevent Memory Loss
Excerpt from: New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way
Even a single family member who is senile or afflicted with Alzheimer's is enough to make anyone dread the possibility. Since women have always lived longer than men, the Ancient Grandmothers have a thing or two to tell us about how to keep our memory sharp until the day we die (at 100+). These remedies are taken from my book New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way. They are arranged in order of safety, with the safest first and the most dangerous last.
“Touch my face, granddaughter,” murmurs Grandmother Growth. “Feel the lines that time has worn. Each line tells a story. Feel the lines in my palms. Every line is a memory. Close your eyes and travel with me to your ovaries, real or energetic. They are your memory baskets. When you feel forgetful, close your eyes and journey to the place of memories. Touch your face, your palms, return to this place, and retrieve the memory you want.”
“And, dearest,” Grandmother's voice sighs with the wind, “Remember yourself.”

Hello,
I do have a question for Susun that she has probably answered a million times but I have been running from pillar to post trying to find an answer for that really works.....help with my memory! I am 56, in menopause, symptoms annoying but not terrible at all but I can’t remember a damn thing! I do take nourishing herbal infusions of oatstraw, nettle, red raspberry leaf, red clover and comfrey. I have been searching for a new career path and I am lacking confidence that if I take up a new study in natural healing I won’t be successful since I am so forgetful It’s really scary!. I was taking gotu kola tincture but didn’t see much of a difference and probably didn’t take it long enough. I was raw vegan for a few years but have since become pretty much vegetarian with some meat here and there, and include some animal fat. And I eat very little processed or restaurant food, don’t drink alcohol or take any bioidentical hormones.
Can you help? Thanks so much.
Cindy
Hi Cindy,
Susun would definitely say to keep including the fats in your diet - very important for memory issues. Do you have Susun's book New Menopausal Years? She has a chapter in there for memory. You can read some of Susun's suggestions here:
http://www.herbshealing.com/herbal_ezine/April03/herbal_ezine_featurearticle_april03.htm
Red clover helps with memory, so you might want to include a quart of infusion once a week if not doing so ... Avoid all soy products except for fermented ones such as miso and tamari. Rosemary has been used traditionally for memory. Of course, if you are stressed, it can affect memory -- so looking into meditations, visualizations, etc. that may help. I've heard Susun speak highly of using the gingko biloba tincture.
blessings,
Kim
