Creative thinking tea may improve mood and creative thinking, as well as enhance dreaming and manifested ideas.
Creative thinking is an inventive skill that involves using your abilities and soft skills to develop solutions to new problems. A creative thinker assesses a problem from different angles and develops a plan on how to solve it. This focus on creativity and innovation is pivotal because many problems require solutions that have never been implemented before or that need to be implemented in a new way.
Polygala tenuifolia herbal extract, also known as Seneca and Chinese Senega, is among the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine due to its antioxidant, energy support, cognitive support, and immune system support properties. It is believed to possess healing powers and offer tremendous health benefits as a creative thinking tea, as I’ll describe below.
Polygala tenuifolia Creative Thinking Tea for Healthy Brain Function
Polygala tenuifolia is a creative thinking tea that may provide support for insomnia, dream-disturbed sleep, and memory impairment in the context of aging.
In a 2021 study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies (affiliated with the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research), the researchers noted taht Polygala tenuifolia may reduce cognitive deficits and protect against cognitive decline. In the study, the constituent, 3,6′-disinapoyl sucrose (DISS), triggered a potent increase of hippocampal neurogenesis in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. DISS strengthened APP-neural stem cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation, and DISS treatment for four weeks showed the capability to attenuate cognitive deficits, neuronal injures, and neurogenesis disorder.

In addition to being a creative thinking tea, Polygala tenuifolia “exerts rapid-onset antidepressant effects,” according to a Public Library of Science Journal study. The study’s authors further note that Polygala tenuifolia “may be worthy of further evaluation as a safe substitute to other rapid-onset antidepressants [with] unacceptable side effects.”
