1. Panax Ginseng
Panax ginseng is considered good for improving memory, thinking and concentration. In a 2008 study, Canadian researchers found that Panax ginseng helped reduce the some of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, including flat affect (lack of emotional expression) in the patients. It is believed to hit the same brain receptors as antipsychotic drugs.
You can take 200 mg of Panax ginseng daily for several weeks after consulting your doctor.
Note: Do not confuse Panax ginseng with American and Siberian ginseng.
2. Ginkgo Biloba
- Ginkgo biloba is being studied by the scientific communities as an adjunctive treatment for schizophrenia as it may help enhance the effectiveness of antipsychotics. It is also believed to protect against neural damage caused by antipsychotics.
The typical dosage of Ginkgo biloba is 360 mg of a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba daily in divided doses for up to 16 weeks.
