Actions and uses of Brahmi

Brahmi is known to improve concentration and the quality of consciousness. Additionally, it has been proven to increase alertness, clarity of mind and marrow function. Thus, Brahmi helps both the immune system and the nervous system. It reduces stress, improves the quality of sleep at night and slows aging. It also improves the complexion of the skin and aids hair growth. It is one of the most popular ingredients used in Ayurveda.

“Brahmi” has been used to describe two distinct Ayurvedic herbs—Centella asiatica and Bacopa monnieri—and Brahmi is a fitting name for both of them. Brahmi is a Sanskrit word that refers to the feminine essence of universal consciousness as well as the creative potential that emerges from pure awareness. Both of the herbs that bear the name Brahmi are thought to promote subtle awareness and sattva (the pure essence of consciousness). They are also both highly revered for their mind-enhancing properties and their support of the nervous system as a whole.
