What is Brahmi?
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is a herb with brain rejuvenating effects and is native to India, Australia, Africa and Europe. It is also known as Bacopa and Jalabrahmi. Best known for its ability to enhance memory and focus, Brahmi has been used in Ayurveda for centuries for managing various conditions such as stress, anxiety, asthma and epilepsy.
Brahmi contains a large amount of bioactive, phytochemical compounds that work in synergy to give the herb antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and memory enhancing properties. The most important bioactive compounds in Brahmi are Bacoside A and B (dammarane-type triterpenoin saponins), alkaloids, and herpestine.

Health Benefits of Brahmi
1. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) contains many powerful antioxidant compounds that protects cells and tissues from the oxidative injury caused by free radicals. This oxidative damage is known to cause chronic inflammation and premature ageing at the cellular level.
2. Boosts brain function
Brahmi is valued as one of the most effective herbs in Ayurveda for improving brain functions. It is known as a brain tonic that:
- Rejuvenates the brain
- Boosts cognitive functions such as learning, intellect, memory and focus
- Protects the tissues of nervous system from oxidative damage
- Reduces age-associated neural inflammation
The leaves are a rich source of antioxidants, such as saponins (bacosides) that seem to be majorly responsible for all these benefits in boosting cognition and in strengthening overall mental health. It can be used by people of all ages to improve learning and memory.
Human studies show promising results and provide evidence that Brahmi can be used to improve learning, retention, and memory. [1-3] Preliminary research also hints at its positive role in managing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
3. May reduce ADHD symptoms
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder with symptoms such as hyperactivity, inability to focus, low attention span and impulsive behaviour. Research has shown that Bacopa monnieri may help reduce ADHD symptoms such as impulsivity, inattentiveness and restless in children. [4-5]
4. Relieves stress and anxiety
Prolonged periods of stress and anxiety can be detrimental to our physical and mental well-being. Chronic stress can aggravate as well as increase the risk of conditions such as depression, insomnia, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and asthma. It also weakens immunity, causes fatigue, upsets hormonal balance and triggers gastrointestinal disorders.
Brahmi is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body cope with stress. As an adaptogen, Brahmi supports healthy immunity, restores balance and equilibrium in the body, reduces fatigue, nourishes adrenal functions and regulates stress hormones. Research suggests that Brahmi reduces symptoms of stress and anxiety by lowering the levels of stress hormone cortisol. Brahmi contains bacosides, powerful antioxidant compounds that are responsible for its anti-stress and anti-anxiety benefits. Brahmi also promotes healthy and sound sleep and can be a very effective in managing insomnia and fatigue.
