   The most remarkable remedy for loss of memory or forgetfulness is the use of the herb rosemary, botanically known as Pomarinus officinails.Rosemary has long been regarded as a herb for remembrance. In ancient times, the greeks and the romans prepared fragrant distilled water from the flowers of this plant and inhaled the odour so that the evils were destroyed from the mind and the memory no longer played tricks. Rosemary is considered to be an antidote for mental fatigue and forgetfulness. A tea made from this herb taken once or twice a day, is a refreshing drink and an effective natural remedy for enhancing mental agility.

   Another herb useful in amnesia is perennail booti, botanically known as Bacopa scrophulariaceae. About seven grams of this herb should be dried in the shade and ground in water, along with seven kernals of almonds and half a gram of pepper. This mixture should be strained and sweetened with twenty-five gm of sugar. It should be drunk every morning for a fortnight on an empty stomach.

   The herb sage has also been found beneficial in the treatment of a weak memory or loss of memory. It acts on the curtex of the brain, mitigates mental exhaustion and strengthen the ability to concertrate. A tea prepared from dried sage leaves can be used regularly for this purpose.

   Almonds are very valuable for restoring a poor memory caused by brain weakness. They contain unique properties to remove brain debility and to strengthen the brain. Almonds preserve the vitality of the brain and cure ailments originating from nervous disorders. Ten or twelve almonds should be immersed in water overnight and their outer skin removed.
