Brahmi herb is a front-runner herb for improving mental health, improving memory, Alzheimer's, controlling anxiety and attention deficiency in adults and children as well. It is capable to cure irritable bowel syndrome as well. Brahmi increases some brain chemicals that are involved in thinking, learning, and memory. Also known as Bacopa Monnieri.
Brahmi plant has been used extensively in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda). Be careful not to confuse Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) with gotu kola and other natural medicines that are also sometimes called Brahmi. Brahmi is different from Gotu Kola.
Brahmi is used for many health conditions like Alzheimer's disease, improving memory, anxiety, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), allergic conditions, irritable bowel syndrome, and as a general tonic to fight stress. It is a tonic to improve your nerves. People also take Brahmi to treat a backache, hoarseness, mental illness, epilepsy, joint pain, and sexual performance problems in both men and women. It is also sometimes used as a “water pill.”
Brain Health: Brahmi increases some brain chemicals that are involved in thinking, learning, and memory. Some research suggests that it might also protect brain cells from chemicals involved in Alzheimer's disease.
Improving memory: Some research shows that taking Brahmi powder improves some measure of memory in otherwise healthy older adults. Also, taking Bacopa or say Brahmi in Hindi, seems to improve some measures of memory and hand-eye coordination in children aged 6-8 years.
Anxiety: Research suggests that taking 5 gms of Brahmi powder daily for 4 weeks reduces symptoms of anxiety, including nervousness, racing heart, trouble sleeping, headaches, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and stomach discomfort.
