Why Brahmi is Used as a Herbal Remedy for Better Cognitive Functioning
Before identifying how Brahmi tablets can be of use to your health, it would be good to look into the details of the plant itself. Brahmi, also called bacopamonnieri, is a creeping perennial herb that is native to Asia, Africa, South America, Europe, and Australia. It goes by different names such as Indian pennywort, herb of grace, thyme-leafed gratiola, and water hyssop. Commonly used in Ayurveda, this non-aromatic herb has leaves that are oblong, succulent, and about 4 to 6mm thick. The Brahmi plant has oblanceolate leaves, which are arranged in an opposite pattern on the stem. Its flowers have about four to five petals, which are white, actinomorphic, and small. The plant sometimes goes even in brackish environments, and propagation is possible by way of cuttings.
Usage of Brahmi in Herbal Medicine
Even before Brahmi tablets became popular, this herb has been used for generations in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine and has been recorded in ancient literature. Today, it is re-emerging as a good option for those looking to support their central nervous system. While we have isolated several chemical compounds from this herb, bacoside-A and bacoside-B are the main active fractions of Brahmi. There are other phytochemicals, such as saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, and alkaloids, that constitute this medicinal plant.
Difficulty in Sourcing this Herb
While there is no doubt that this herb can help aid in the functioning of the central nervous system, it is often difficult to source this herb, especially if you want to benefit from its properties on a regular basis. Often, the herbs you source from the local market may not have been carefully pre-selected using a scientific process. Therefore, you may not be able to tell whether the herbs are of good quality or whether there have been chemicals used in the process. Further, you are not assured of the quality of the seeds used, which could impact the quality of the plant.
