The herb louiza in combination with omega-3 fats seems to enhance memory and give spiritual clarity.
According to a study by the University of Northumbria in the UK, lemon verbena improves our ability to learn and memorize and consequently our mental performance. The plant contains luteolin, a substance with strong anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic and anti-allergic properties. Luteolin has been shown to reduce levels of inflammation in the brain by up to 70%, which prevents cell degeneration, a disorder responsible for impaired brain functions such as attention and awareness.
Studies in 18- to 35-year-olds have shown that the combination of louiza with omega-3 fatty acids improves blood flow to the brain during mental activity.
Lead researcher Dr Philippa Jackson, who aims to understand the relationship between what we consume, says: "If we show that this miraculous couple can stop the mental decline that occurs over time even in older people, we may be able to help in cases of diseases related to memory and rational thinking ".
