Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In Ayurveda, Brahmi is classified as a Medhya Rasayana, described with Tikta (bitter) rasa, Sheeta (cooling) virya, and Laghu guna, making it supportive in balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. Classical texts reference Brahmi for its role in supporting cognitive functions, mental clarity, focus, and nervous system nourishment.

Traditionally, Brahmi is processed into Churna, Kwath, Ghrita, Taila, and fermented preparations, with dosage and method of use determined according to Ayurvedic principles.
