MENTORIUM

Tincture for the mind from Greek mountain tea – Sideritis scardica. Greek mountain tea is a plant from the Mediterranean mountainous region, growing at an altitude of approximately 1000 meters above sea level (Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania).

Health benefits
Greek mountain tea has long been considered a traditional beverage of Greek shepherds and farmers.

It reduces anxiety, increases stress resistance, and according to a clinical study conducted in 2018 (Wightman EL et al), significantly improves brain cognitive function, i.e., mental abilities. According to research by Knörle et al, the plant also improves mood and acts as an antidepressant.

According to this study, the neutralization of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine is reduced, which maintains a high level of these substances in the brain. Thus, the plant helps against anxiety disorders, depression, and attention deficit. The plant has also long been a popular home remedy for gastrointestinal complaints. In a 2012 study (Tadić VM et al), the protective effect of the plant on the stomach was tested, and the results were comparable to the effect of the acid blocker ranitidine. Additionally, the plant has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Recommended dose: 2 times a day, 20 drops with a sip of water before or half an hour after eating.
A course of 4 – 6 months is recommended.

! People react differently to herbal tinctures, so an initial dose of 15 drops twice a day is recommended, then gradually increasing the dose to the recommended dose described above.
