Our Focus Tincture is made with a powerful blend of concentrated herbs linked with mental clarity, concentration, memory, and cognitive health. This caffeine-free liquid herbal extract enhances focus and works to resolve underlying issues that might be making concentration more difficult, like stress, a lack of sleep, or anxiety. Our Focus Tincture makes it easy to harness the fast-acting mental benefits of ginkgo leaf, brahmi, gotu kola, tulsi, rosemary, and frankincense. It’s been developed by our team of herbalists to support those who need to stay sharp while studying or working for long hours.
Ginkgo
Ginkgo is a protective herb for your brain, helping it function properly by increasing blood flow to it. Studies suggest it can protect against and support the body in dealing with altitude sickness, Alzheimer’s, senile dementia, poor memory and hearing loss. It can also help relieve fatigue, stress and anxiety.
Gotu kola
Sometimes, poor memory and concentration can be down to stress, anxiety or lack of sleep, so we’ve added gotu kola into our Focus tincture to support your nervous system. Gotu kola also gently stimulates your brain by improving blood circulation to it.
Tulsi
Tulsi is an adaptogenic, nourishing herb that supports your brain when it’s under a lot of stress (working long hours, for instance). Tulsi enhances your cognitive function and can ease symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Brahmi
An important Ayurvedic herb, Brahmi (also known as Bacopa) enhances cognitive function by increasing circulation to your brain. It can improve your short- and long-term memory, concentration and mental performance.
Rosemary
Rosemary is an excellent herb for concentration as it relaxes your muscles, capillaries and arteries, which in turn enhances blood flow. Rosemary has this effect particularly on the head. Improved blood flow to the brain means better nutrition and oxygenation and less inflammation – and this also helps maximise concentration, memory and mental clarity, ease fatigue as well as helping alleviate headaches.
Frankincense
Frankincense is a herb derived from the resin of the Frankincense tree. It is also known as Boswellia resin and is used as a brain tonic. It is a neuroprotective herb that helps prevent cognitive decline.
This product contains ginkgo leaf, brahmi, gotu kola, tulsi, rosemary, frankincense, purified water and ethyl alcohol.
Our Tinctures are alcohol based. Using alcohol enables us to effectively extract a wide range of constituents from plants. It also means that tinctures keep well - alcohol prevents the growth of bacteria and inhibits enzyme activity. Tinctures are easy to take and to carry around with you as you only need small amounts (generally of 2-3 teaspoons per day). If you cannot or would not like to take alcohol in your medicine, please consider our herbal supplements or herbal teas within the same range and/or consult one of our medical herbalists so that they can devise a bespoke prescription for you.
When to take
We recommend taking 5ml before or after breakfast and 5ml before or after lunch for a minimum of 7 days. Always dilute the tincture in water before drinking (see below how to make).

For maximum benefits from the Focus Tincture:
-
Sleep Well: Ensure you get 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep nightly. Sleep is when the brain consolidates memories and cleanses toxins, setting you up for a day of optimal cognitive function.
-
Brain-Boosting Activities: Stimulate your mind regularly. Engage in study, puzzles, crosswords, or chess. Reading books, especially those outside your comfort zone, or learning a new instrument can also sharpen cognitive skills.
-
Balanced Diet: Fuel your brain with a nutrient-rich diet. Consume foods abundant in omega-3 fatty acids like flax seeds, chia seeds, and fatty fish. Antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, turmeric, and dark chocolate can combat oxidative stress, which may impair cognitive function.
-
Mindfulness & Meditation: Dedicate a few minutes daily to mindfulness practices. Meditation can enhance focus, improve stress response, and even increase the brain's grey matter, which is vital for processing information.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink ample water throughout the day. Dehydration can impair attention, long-term & short-term memory, and decision-making skills.
-
Regular Exercise: Physical activity boosts blood flow to the entire body, including the brain. Whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or a more intense workout, keeping active can enhance cognitive function and mood.
-
Limit Distractions: In our digital age, distractions are all around. Set aside times of the day for deep work, devoid of interruptions from smartphones or social media. This can train your brain for better focus and productivity.
-
Aromatherapy: Incorporate the use of our Focus Pulse Point during breaks in your study or work sessions to help rejuvenate your mental state and sharpen focus; diffuse our Focus Essential Oil Diffuser Blend or simply some rosemary essential oil in your study or work space.
