Mental Focus

The capacity to focus makes the difference between winning and losing, succeeding and failing, creating and quitting. There are two aspects of focusing: (1) concentrating on the matter at handle, and (2) not allowing the mind to be distracted by external events or by internal chatter. Focusing has been a central concept to masters of all sorts for millennia, especially for spiritual masters like monks, but also for leaders and warriors. Here are herbs that have been specifically used to promote focus, by supporting both aspects mentioned above. Ginseng, Schizandra and Tea have always been the go-to natural supplements to promote focus. Tea contains both caffeine and L-Theanine. L-Theanine is a world class focus-promoting nutraceutical. We get it when we drink a cup of high quality tea. It is also available in serious-dose amounts in Tao in a Bottle. Note, Dragon Herb’s L-Theanine is actually extracted from green tea – most brands of L-Theanine on the market are grown with yeast and are thus inferior. Tao in a Bottle contains 100 mg of L-Theanine per capsule.
