Elderly people are often forgetful. Do one action every day to improve your memory.

Young children must feel helpless about their parents’ amnesia, and many elderly people are also depressed because of their poor memory. So what are some good ways in traditional Chinese medicine to improve amnesia? Let’s find out below.

How to improve amnesia in the elderly

1. Rub the forehead: rub the forehead above the eyebrows with the palms for more than ten times.

2. Knock your head and rub the roots of your hair: First, use the ten fingers of both hands to lightly knock your entire head for more than ten times, and then use the ten fingers to rub the entire roots of your head with a little force for more than ten times.

3. "Combing your hair", rubbing your temples, and massaging the Baihui acupoint: The temples are two fingers away from the eyes, and the Baihui acupoint is located in the center of the top of the head. Massage each one for more than ten times. Use the ten fingers of both hands to "comb your hair" from the front hairline to the back hairline 12 times; then press the thumbs of both hands on the temples on both sides, and use the other four fingers to press the top of the head, and do a straight line massage from top to bottom and from bottom to top 12 times; finally, use the two thumbs to rotate and press on the temples with strong force, first clockwise and then counterclockwise, 12 times each.

4. Dry wipe your face: The last step of head massage to prevent forgetfulness and dementia is dry wipe your face, which is to use the base of both palms to rub from the eyebrows downward to the chin with a little force for more than ten times.

These methods can also improve amnesia

1. Exercise therapy

You need to regard physical exercise as a way of life and truly combine work and rest. White-collar workers who do not like exercising can first choose some sports that involve relatively simple upper limb activities, such as badminton and table tennis, and gradually develop a habit of exercising. It is recommended that people under 40 years old exercise three times a week. Office workers stand up and do stretching and jumping exercises after working for two hours.

2. Nutritional therapy

Supplement more nutrients such as protein, trace elements, such as milk, soybeans, fish, etc. Walnuts, sesame seeds and sardines all have the effect of nourishing the brain and enhancing memory. Try to avoid drinking and smoking, and eat less spicy food. Some foods contain relatively large amounts of heavy metals. If these heavy metals are retained and accumulated in the body after consumption, they will cause brain power to slow down and affect memory. Foods such as preserved eggs and popcorn are "memory killers" and should not be eaten too much.

3. Communication therapy

You can join some clubs and QQ groups according to your interests, and chat about what you like during breaks at work, which is very effective in relaxing your mood. Try to memorize phone numbers, names of objects, etc. as much as possible and develop the habit of writing and calculating by hand.

4. Music therapy

The reason many white-collar workers lack exercise is ultimately because they “don’t have time.” Therefore, you can play some soothing music with beautiful melodies at the appropriate time.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

In fact, amnesia is not a terrible disease, but the depression, anxiety or reduced self-confidence caused by forgetfulness may bring greater harm. Now that we know about amnesia, we should treat it correctly, actively adjust ourselves, and not let it bother our work and life.
