Potential Cognitive Benefits of Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi)
Cognitive health is essential for our well-being. It is necessary to think, learn, remember, and make decisions. As we age, our cognitive function naturally declines. However, we can support our cognitive health via healthy lifestyle choices. Apart from fundamentals like sleep, exercise, rest, and food, we can also use well-researched supplements.As we age, cognitive decline is inevitable, but alternative therapies are emerging with promising potential. As a holistic health advocate, I noticed that alternative therapies are becoming increasingly popular for various conditions, including cognitive health, which is the theme of this story. In this post, I introduce an impressive plant-derived alternative therapy that has shown promising results for cognitive health. It is Bacopa monnieri, also known as Brahmi, Thyme-leafed Gratiola, Water Hyssop, and Herb of Grace in India. I used Bacopa monnieri in therapeutic doses as recommended by a naturopathic doctor for five years when I was following a plant-based diet with minimal animal products. During those stressful times, I felt some improvement in my memory and attention. It also lowered my chronic stress and anxiety. I no longer use plant-based supplements due to their side effects, like initiating autoimmune responses and digestive disorders.
