An Abundance of Brahmi.

April 06, 2022 2 min read

An Abundance of Brahmi.
A great way to spend the weekend with my parents before they are leaving back home to Germany. 

Dad can’t wait to get his hands on a bottle of Brahmi/ Amla hair growth oil

We will prepare this from scratch. Watch the space. 

The Sanskrit word Brahmi is derived from ‘brahma’ the creator of the universe.

Ayurvedic properties are:

    • Rasa: tikta and kashaya

    • Guna: laghu (light) and sara(laxative)

    • Virya: sheeta

    • Vipaka: madhura

    • Prabhava/ special potency: alleviates apasmara/ epilepsy and unmada/ hysteria

    • Dosha: Tridosha mainly Kaphapittahara, can increase Vata in excess


It’s Ayurvedic actions are:

    1. Medhya, intellect promoting, boosts the memory,

    1. Useful in disorders such as epilepsy (Apasmara)

    1. Rasayana, it is also praised as a Majjadhatu rasayana as it rejuvenates the nervous system. Useful in Parkinson’s, ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome.

    1. Shotha/ oedema – brahmi has a mild diuretic property

    1. Smritiprada – promotes the intellect and intelligence.

    1. Samjna sthapana- restores consciousness

    1. Ayushya – increases longevity

    1. Balya- gives strength (especially to the mind)

    1. It can cool the heat of cystitis and pain of dysuria by eliminating pitta out of the mutravahasrotas. Medicated milk with brahmi is best for this.

    1. Brahmi nourishes all seven dhatus (tissues)


Parts used: The whole plant

Brahmi can also be used externally: The paste prepared of Brahmi churna is applied in arthritis to relieve the pain and swelling of the joints.

The medicated oil of Brahmi augments hair growth and imparts calming effect on the mind.

We wish you a beautiful Sunday.
