Post Viral Brain Fog with Herbologist Angela Young

Welcome back for a new episode of Sharing Plant Wisdom.
This month we tackle brain fog, and to get us started we invited fellow herbalist Angela Young. Angela graduated as a Naturopathic Herbalist in 2019 and just opened her clinic in Kent. She also offers consultations online (see below for details). She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of herbs and how they can support us in our day-to-day lives.

In this episode Angela sheds light on how a viral infection can leave people with brain fog.
She mentions genetic testing for blood brain barrier permeability.
Here are a couple of options for genetic testing:

Here are the top 5 herbs Angela recommends for dealing with symptoms of brain fog: 
- Gotu kola (latin name Centella asiatica)
- Brahmi (make sure you choose Bacopa monnieri)
- Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) 
- Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
- St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) 

Make sure to take professional advice from your GP or your complementary health practitioner before taking herbs as there are contraindications to take into account that were not mentioned in this episode.
