Brahmi Health Benefits - Memory Enhancer

Brahmi according to Ayurveda is tridosha (Three humors - Vata (Air), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Water)) balancing herb which means it is suitable for all body types. Vata (Air) dosha which governs the nervous system. 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 satva (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.

This article will focus on highlighting the primary applications of each of these herbs, as well as some useful distinctions between them.

Brahmi for the Mind

Both forms of brahmi are known to rejuvenate the mind, enhance memory, improve concentration, and to directly influence the quality of consciousness. Both are considered sattvic herbs (promoting subtle awareness). In fact, both are often used to support meditation as they increase the clarity and subtlety of mind. Both bacopa and gotu kola work very directly to improve the quality of sadhaka pitta (which is closely related to the intellect and intelligence) and, as tonics for the mind, they are both indicated in a broad range of mental imbalances—both behavioral and developmental. Further, because Ayurveda illuminates an intimate connection between the heart and the mind, it is significant that both forms of brahmi are known as heart tonics
