Brahmi is a medicinal herb widely used as a memory enhancer according to ancient texts. Its nomenclature finds its origin in “Brahma” the legendary creator and since the brain is the focal point of all creative actions in the human body, hence the name (Centella Asiatica). This herb is synonymous with brain repair and revitalization of nerve and brain cells. Hence aptly referred to as “Sarasvati” too. It is known to boost memory and intellect since prehistoric times. Research indicates its efficacy in treating stress-related disorders.
