Named after Brahma, the God of creation, Brahmi is a powerful herb with significant health benefits. From treating Alzheimer’s to reducing stress, Brahmi is a perennial, creeping herb, that grows in marshy wetlands and is indigenous to India, but now, it grows throughout the tropical regions. It is an edible plant with small, oval-shaped juicy leaves, which grow on a soft furry stem. The plant branches out horizontally over the ground and grows to a maximum height of 6 inches. Brahmi also blooms small white-purple flowers with four or five petals and produces an oval-shaped fruit.<\/p>\n

The herb is enriched with several bio-chemical compounds including brahmine, herpestine, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, alkaloids, betulic acid, stimastorol, betasitosterol, bacoside and bacopasaponins. With these inherent ingredients, Brahmi is highly valued in Ayurveda as a brain tonic, an aphrodisiac and as a stress reliever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
