Health benefits

Brahmi as Ayurvedic Healing Tool

According to the National Institutes of Health National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, one of the oldest practices in India, uses all aspects of the body to heal an individual. With the use of herbs, exercises, and diet, Ayurveda practitioners promote wellness in order to alleviate illness. Each individual has one prominent dosha—vata, pitta, or kapha, and a practitioner aligns the herbal formulas, diet and exercise specifically for that dosha.
Brahmi is a tri-dosha to be used by any of the three doshas, and has been used for at least 3,000 years in traditional Ayurveda. Iharak Samhita, one of the oldest Ayurvedic medicine texts, lists Brahmi as a healing tonic for nerves, liver and digestion.

Nerve Tonic

As a nerve tonic, Brahmi promotes healthy nerve functioning and eliminates communication breakdown by strengthening the nerve impulses. Brahmi also regenerates nerve cells and improving nervous system structure making it easier to balance stressful events.

Brain Tonic

In addition to Brahmi regenerating nerve cells, it also revitalizes brain cells. As people age, their ability to regenerate cells in the brain affects their memory and recall centers. Brahmi promotes retention and recall. With its ability to increase concentration, stimulate memory connections in the brain, Brahmi even has been used in the recovery of stroke and brain injury patients.

Digestive Aid

Receiving all the nutritional value from foods is extremely important. If people are not able to get all the vitamins and minerals from the meals they eat, then their bodies cannot thrive. Brahmi assists stomach in digesting and assimilating food by acting as a digestive aid to help the stomach break down food.
