Choline is used by our brains to make the important chemical acetylcholine, which is required for memory. At a health food or vitamin store, buy choline chloride or choline hydrochloride- not choline bitartrate. (The latter sometimes causes diarrhea.) Taking choline may improve your memory and your ability to learn. You should also notice a keener sense of mental organization.

Dose: Take 500 mg of choline twice a day. (Set your alarm clock so you won't forget to take it.)

Here's a memory-improving drink-combine half a glass of carrot juice with half a glass of milk, and drink daily. Three prunes a day supposedly improves memory. It can also help prevent constipation, and since constipation paralyzes the thinking process, take three prunes a day. Daily doses of fresh ginger used in cooking and for tea may heighten memory. Add four cloves to a cup of sage tea. Sage and cloves have been said to strengthen memory. Drink a cup every day.

Eye-Opening Discovery
Our research led us to a Japanese doctor whose records show that he successfully treated more than 500 patients who were having memory problems. How? By recommending they take eyebright, an herb best known for treating eye disorders... until now. Add 1/2 ounce of eyebright and 1 tablespoon of clover honey to 1/2 cups of just-boiled water. When it's cool, strain the mixture and put it in a boule. Drink 1/2 cup before lunch and 1/2 cup before dinner.

Two mustard seeds, taken as you would take pills, first thing every morning, are said to revive one's memory.
Eat a handful of sunflower seeds daily. These seeds are beneficial in many ways, one being memory improvement.
According to a gem therapist, wearing an amethyst helps strengthen one's memory. You just have to remember to wear the amethyst.
