Mental Alertness

USE THIS REMEDY IF:

you suffer from lethargy - a temporary condition of drowsiness, indifference or mental fatigue.

Lethargy usually occurs following a heavy meal, after sustained mental concentration or study, physical exertion, play, or as a result of overwork. Sometimes it results from lack of stimulation, as when you are forced to deal with some task which you find boring. This remedy is indented to provide alertness and the ability to concentrate, temporarily. It can help you drive home safely when tired. It can help you keep your mind on your work or studies until you finish, or take a test after studying all night.

If you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this remedy cannot help. Do not rely on it to get you home from the bar or a party where you have been drinking alcohol or taking drugs!

SPECIAL INDICATORS: (You should have one or more of these.)

Easily distracted, unable to concentrateMentally sluggish

HOW TO USE THIS REMEDY:

For temporary mental clarity, make and drink this remedy every 15 minutes until your drowsiness disappears. Often two or three glasses will do it.

Continue using the remedy until you feel revived. Stop using it when you are more alert.

If you are carrying out a late night project, the repeated use of this remedy is more healthy that the use of coffee or other stimulants. However, each time you grow tired and make the remedy again, be sore to stop drinking it as soon as you feel alert. If after drinking the remedy repeatedly during a long night's work, a few glasses fail to revive you, you may have to go to bed.
