Brahmi has been known to be a pacifier of all three doshas, mainly kapha and vata. Ayurvedic physicians believe it to be ideal for counteracting the vitiated vata dosha, the factor which governs the nervous system. Ayurvedic tests describe Brahmi as medhya, a herb that braces the mind to carry cognitive functions and intellectual pursuits. But ancient authors seem to believe that the healing effects of Brahmi extend far beyond mind and brain. Brahmi is not only a memory-booster and intellect-promoting herb; it is also a relaxing and digestive agent.
