In recent years, nootropics have been quietly gaining attention among business people and creators.
"I can't concentrate," "I feel like I've been forgetting things more recently," "I can't come up with any ideas."
It is becoming popular as a new self-care keyword that addresses such concerns.

What are nootropics?

" Nootropic " comes from the Greek words noos (mind/intellect) and tropos (direction/change). A word derived from.

Originally referring to memory aids developed in the 1970s , the term is now used more broadly to encompass any natural ingredient that enhances cognitive function, focus, memory, and clarity of thought .

When you want to improve your brain's performance or calm your emotional waves.
Nootropics are once again gaining attention as ingredients that can boost overall mind and brain performance .

The power of nature, not synthetics: the currently popular "natural nootropics"

One concept that is gaining particular attention is " natural nootropics ."
Rather than relying on drugs or synthetic supplements, this approach uses plants and natural ingredients to gently regulate the brain and mind .

It helps you achieve your best condition while minimizing the strain on your body. The appeal is that it can be easily incorporated into your daily diet and drinks.

Natural nootropic ingredients you can find anywhere

▼ Matcha (caffeine + L -theanine)
Matcha is an exquisitely balanced ingredient that contains both the stimulating caffeine and the relaxing L- theanine . L- theanine softens the stimulation of caffeine, allowing you to maintain focus and work in a calm state of mind .

▼ Cacao (theobromine)
Theobromine , contained in cocoa, the raw material for chocolate, is a relative of caffeine and has a gentle stimulating effect, promotes cerebral blood flow, and stabilizes mood.
It is also popular as a support material for enhancing concentration, creativity, and motivation .

▼ Herbs (rosemary, sage, etc.)
Herbs such as rosemary and sage have long been known for their memory-enhancing scents.
Recent aroma research has also suggested that these scents have a positive effect on cognitive clarity. The stimulation of the brain through the sense of smell is more powerful than you might imagine, and they are attracting attention as a way to awaken the brain through the five senses.
Another great thing about essential oils, herbal teas, smoothies, etc. is that they are easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Enjoy "things that are good for the brain" and "things that are good for the mind" more freely and comfortably.

 Brain performance is also regulated by the accumulation of everyday actions such as eating and drinking.
That's why enjoying the power of plants grown in nature is the first step to maintaining a healthy mind and body.

Instead of taking supplements, you can choose to naturally and comfortably regulate yourself through your daily diet and fragrances.
The concept of "natural nootropics" may not be a passing trend, but rather a new form of wellness for the future .

It is in these everyday moments that the quiet power of plants gently accompanies us.
