Folk remedies include not only the intake of medicinal herbal decoctions, but also the use of certain foods in combination with exercise and methods of activating the brain. More details about each of them.

Herbs and diet

The list of herbs involved in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is really wide.

These are natural antidepressants - herbs that improve blood flow and nutrition of the brain, as well as vitamin supplements:

• Ginseng root and ripe schisandra chinensis. The raw materials must be mixed in equal proportions. Then pour 10 grams of the mixture with a liter of hot water and simmer for 15 minutes. The broth is drunk during the day in small portions.
• Motherwort vulgaris - tincture of this herb normalizes blood pressure, calms the nervous system with noticeable signs of aggression or excitability.

• Ginkgo biloba extract, goji berry and acai. This plant material can only be consumed after consulting a doctor and adjusting the dose. Ginkgo biloba extract is made as follows: 50 g of dried leaves are added to 500 ml of vodka, left for 2 weeks in a dark place. The dosage and duration of admission will be indicated by the doctor.
• St. John's wort and heather are herbs with antidepressant properties. You can make teas from them and drink them daily.
• Calamus, chicory, wormwood, elecampane stimulate the work of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus.

• Dioscorea Caucasian improves brain function. 100 g of plant roots are poured with a liter of vodka, kept for 2 weeks, filtered and drunk before meals 3 times a day for 1 tsp.
• Turmeric is a spice with strong antioxidant properties. In addition, it reduces the production of lipofuscin in the body, which causes atrophy of cells and organs, including nerves.

The patient's diet should be rich in vegetable fats, fish, fruits and vegetables. The most useful foods include tomatoes, broccoli, oranges, black currants, spinach, onions, and garlic. It is important to enrich your diet with natural antioxidants. These are found in carrots, cabbage, dried fruits, wheat germ and legumes, lemon.

To stimulate the nervous system, it is recommended to drink 2-3 cups of strong black or green tea daily. They activate nerve cells, and green tea is also a rich source of antioxidants. The main thing is to brew it correctly and not use it with sugar. You can supplement this drink with a spoonful of honey or a small handful of dried fruits.

Beekeeping products, and in particular honey, have long been considered an effective means of improving memory, as they have an anti-sclerotic effect. In addition, they interfere with the inhibition processes in the brain. You can eat up to 3 teaspoons of natural bee honey a day.

The patient's diet requires a stable drinking regime. It is important to consume 6-8 glasses of liquid daily, preferably water or freshly prepared compotes. Dehydration is harmful not only for the body as a whole, but especially for nerve cells. Some experts believe that systematic dehydration of the brain is one of the reasons for the development of Alzheimer's disease, especially before the age of 50.

Daily regime

It is important for the patient to avoid stagnation in the body, so it is necessary to move more, exercise and devote a lot of time to "brain work". The patient's age determines the nature of motor activity. The older the person is, the simpler the exercises should be. Sometimes walking for 1-2 hours in the fresh air with or without breaks is sufficient. Yoga classes have a good effect on blood circulation and stimulation of nerve conduction. Breathing exercises are especially helpful.

The brain has to work. This is one of the conditions for less intense destructive processes in it. It is necessary to read a lot, memorize poems or prose, solve crosswords, it is useful to find a new hobby and devote most of your free time to it, improving your knowledge and skills.

How can you cure Alzheimer's disease until no doctor can answer. Medicine is not exactly clear about all the reasons for the development of the disease, and therefore methods of its treatment are under development. In this situation, you can only use supportive therapy, which includes taking medications and following the above traditional medicine.
