The brain is our most important organ and, like other organs, responds to herbs to heal and restore it.

Brain expert Daniel Amen, Author of Making a Good Brain Great, concludes what’s good for the heart is good for the brain. Aside from taking herbs for your brain, general wellness measures, such as regular exercise, sleep, stress-reduction and a diet rich in antioxidants and moderate in saturated fats will help improve cognitive and other functions. You’ll also find that improvements in brain function will improve other areas of your life, such as athletic and sexual performance.

Healthnotes Newswire (March 15, 2007)—Adverse reactions to over-the-counter drugs are a significant problem in the United States. A once-common danger on the drug store shelf, phenylpropanolamine (PPA) was banned in the US by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a few years ago, though it is still available in many other countries. A new study supports its ban by confirming that it increases women’s risk of stroke.

Stroke occurs when normal blood flow through one or more small vessels in the brain is altered, causing the area of the brain served by that vessel to be damaged. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a small vessel bleeds into the brain, usually because of increased pressure in the vessel.
