Name: Brahmi

Other Names: Bacopa monniera, Coastal Water hyssop, Water hyssop, Bacopa monnieri

Description: Brahmi is known for its memory enhancing and anti-oxidant properties. Brahmi is a small, creeping herb with light purple flowers. Bacopa Monniera is the botanical name of this perennial herbal plant. Other names of Brahmi are Coastal Water hyssop, Water hyssop and Bacopa monnieri. Brahmi grows prolifically in wet soil, shallow water and marshes in India and the Tropics. Brahmi is know by other common names as well Bacopa monnieri, Coastal Water hyssop or just Water hyssop. For centuries it has been used as a ‘brain tonic’ to enhance memory and concentration as well as providing positive benefits for sufferers of epilepsy and anxiety. For over a thousand years it has played an important part in the tradition of Ayurveda, a system of Indian folk medicine. Western reserachers have focused on Bacopa’s cognitive benfits – specifically its ability to improve memory, learning and concentration. The active constituents that have been identified in Brahmi include the alkaloids Brahmine and herpestine, saponins d-mannitol and hersaponin, acid A, monnierin, betulic acid, stigmastarol, beta-sitosterol. All of these are believed to be responsible for the pharmacological benefits of bacopa.
