Introduction

Brahmi has an established reputation as an effective and powerful brain and nerve tonic,  Brahmi also acts on the regions of the brain involved with long term memory, where the two active compounds found in the brahmi called the bacosides A and B, are responsible for bringing about an increase in the activity of protein kinase and the synthesis of new protein molecules.  Brahmi is also said to help increase the adaptability of the brain for new learning and essentially helps in reducing forgetfulness or the temporary loss of memory which occurs with increasing frequency as we get older.  Brahmi is of great importance in the ancient Indian system of medication called ayurvedic medicine, and in this system of medication brahmi is used in a traditional medical formulation called the rasayana(TONIC), which is made up of a mixture of

the brahmi plant, along with different types of spices and some sweetening honey to make it more delectable.
