Chinese herbal medicines that can improve memory and cognition
by Evangelyn Rodriguez

Natural News) Older adults often suffer from mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is defined as the stage between cognitive decline that comes naturally with aging and the more serious decline in brain performance (dementia). MCI affects many aspects of cognition, such as memory, language, judgment and thinking.

Although researchers have yet to pinpoint a single cause of MCI, they are aware that MCI comes with mental conditions. These include depression, irritability and aggression, anxiety and apathy. Having MCI also increases a person’s risk of dementia. In fact, studies have found that around 10 to 15 percent of people with MCI develop dementia each year.

Modern treatments for MCI and dementia involve mostly medications that are yet to be proven effective. But there are natural ways for individuals with MCI to improve their condition. Cognitive training, for instance, can help them develop their remaining cognitive skills. Improving their cardiovascular fitness can also lower their risk of further brain damage caused by blockage of blood vessels.

But in a recent study, researchers at RMIT University in Australia found yet another way to boost cognitive function without using modern medications. By evaluating clinical evidence presented by multiple studies, the researchers found that traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) can induce positive changes in the brains of adults with MCI.
