Why Brahmi?

Normal changes in the structure and function of the brain, as it ages, are responsible for the common memory problems we encounter as we grow older. Good sleep, memory and focus are pointers to healthy brain function. The ravages of age and diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s affecting the body and mind lead to irritability, lack of coherence, confusion, sleeplessness and anxiety.The concept of ‘Medhya Rasayana’ in Ayurvedasastra is devoted to promoting the sharpness of intellect. It aims to protect the brain functions from the frailties of age. Therapeutic use of Brahmi, prime among Medhya Rasayanas promotes sound thought, good retention and memory, excellent articulation and a sense of calm. Brahmi has been tested time and again to yield astounding results in its capacity to nourish brain function.
