Improves memory and learning ability. A government research institute in
India carried out extensive research and obtained very positive results. In all
disorders of the brain and nervous system, Brahmi
plays a positive healing role.
Thrives in a wet, marshy habitat. It is nootropic
(Wikipedia), i.e. enhances clarity by providing more oxygen to the brain.
Experiences: Vivid recall of old memories has been reported, "...
as if reliving the year in just a few moments".
After 3 days the user reported more fluid conversations at work. There
was a welcome reduction in social anxiety: "I was no longer constantly
worrying about what those
around me are thinking about me". This experience echoes the Lamiales theme of connection vs. disconnection.
On the opposite polarity, another user reports waking feeling dull and
tired; with dreams of biting insects and with a prickly skin sensation. Higher
doses tend to produce fogginess and dullness.
Ayurveda: Bitter taste (Air + Ether = dry and light). Astringent (Air + Earth =
dry and heavy).
It is cooling to Pitta, whilst enhancing the
other Doshas by combining light and oily qualities.
Reduction of stress and improvement of memory, awareness and
concentration. It is said to open the crown chakra.
Aquatic (fresh water) to promote memory, longevity and intellectual
functions. It has cholinergic,
antioxidant and adoptogenic effects on the
central nervous system. It improves audio-verbal and visual memory performance,
verbal learning, and development of skills
in storing memory and improves retention in healthy older people (Morgan
and Steven, 2010).plant that is mostly used in Ayurvedic
traditional medicine of India
It has been shown to improve information processing speed and the rate
of learning and lessened anxiety in healthy adults (Stough
et al., 2001). Use of Bacopa shows
improvement in motor functions, attention, language, memory, executive
control, vision, emotions, sensory functions and consciousness. It was also
concluded to have
a potential in increasing the speed of attention in healthy and dementia
patients (Kongkeaw et al. 2014).
A study that was conducted in Khon Kaen University in Thailand concluded that participants who
were on Bacopa for 12 weeks scored far better in
mental processing
tests than those who were on placebo. A study at the University of
Wollongong in Australia showed much improvement in memory and recall abilities
of participants (Ravensthorpe, 2013).
It is also stated that Bacopa improves mood
(depression, anxiety, stress and nervousness) by chemically supporting the
effect of mood regulating neurotransmitters such
as serotonin and acetylcholine and serves as a natural anti-depressant
that does not have undesirable side effects. It improves the digestive system
supporting the production
of mucus in the GIT and helps to absorb more important vitamins and
minerals from food. In the respiratory system, Bacopa
relaxes the bronchioles and blood vessels muscles around the airway passage to
improve breathing (Ravensthorpe, 2013).
Bacopa has the potential to be a
successful treatment for memory improvement in both healthy and aging adults,
including those who suffer from age related memory impairment, and played a
role in delaying memory decline or delaying Alzheimer’s disease (Kairalla, 2011). This herbal substance was proven to
decrease the rate of forgetting newly acquired information, during the study;
tasks assessing attention, verbal and visual short-term memory and the
retrieval of pre-experimental knowledge were not affected (Roodenrys
et al. 2002).
Taking Bacopa on an empty stomach can cause
gastrointestinal problems such as increased stool frequency, nausea, diarrhea, thirst or dry mouth and abdominal cramps.
It may also cause muscle fatigue, decrease in felt stress and reduction
in number of dreams (Kongkeaw et al., 2014) and in
some people it may produce weakness, loss
of concentration, dizziness, irritation of the gastric mucus membranes
and reflux however there are no known contraindications (Mills and Bone, 2005).
According to Bone (2007) the recommended dosing of Bacopa
is 35 to 90 ml/week (1:2 liquid), 7.5 to 10.0 g/day tablet.
Safety precautions: use with caution during pregnancy and safe for use
during lactation, use with caution in patient with pre-existing cholestasis. The use of herbs rich in saponins
may be inadvisable in coeliac disease, fat malabsorption and some upper digestive irritation and
topically to open wounds (Mediherb, 2006).
