Brahmi Powder

Listing ID #4328256

"Brahmi" has been used to describe two distinct Ayurvedic herbs—Centella asiatica and Bacopa monnieri—and brahmi is a fitting name for both of them. Brahmi is a Sanskrit word that refers to the feminine essence of universal consciousness as well as the creative potential that emerges from pure awareness. Both of the herbs that bear the name brahmi are thought to promote subtle awareness and sattva (the pure essence of consciousness). They are also both highly revered for their mind-enhancing properties and their support of the nervous system as a whole. Bacopa and Gotu kola powders(types of Brahmi) offer the full experience of tasting the herbs and also provide the most economical option for purchasing either form of Brahmi. Either bacopa or Gotu kola can be taken as a hot or cold infusion of water. Quite often, these herbs are taken in ghee because it helps to direct them toward the mind and the nervous system. Another popular carrier for Brahmi is milk because it enhances the tonifyng and cooling properties of the herbs. In some instances, taking Brahmi in a different carrier substance may help to direct the herb to a specific tissue or organ, or guide it toward a particular kind of systemic support. An Ayurvedic practitioner can advise you on the appropriate anupan (carrier) for your herbs. A typical dose of Brahmi powder is ¼–½ teaspoon, once or twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Internal Use of Brahmi

Because taste plays such an important role in the digestive process and signals the body to initiate its own supportive mechanisms, Ayurveda traditionally recommends tasting herbs. Brahmi can be taken internally as a powder, a tablet or as a liquid extract.
