A great way to spend the weekend with my parents before they are leaving back home to Germany.
Dad can’t wait to get his hands on a bottle of Brahmi/ Amla hair growth oil 😉
We will prepare this from scratch. Watch the space.
The Sanskrit word Brahmi is derived from ‘brahma’ the creator of the universe.
Ayurvedic properties are:
- Rasa: tikta and kashaya
- Guna: laghu (light) and sara(laxative)
- Virya: sheeta
- Vipaka: madhura
- Prabhava/ special potency: alleviates apasmara/ epilepsy and unmada/ hysteria
- Dosha: Tridosha mainly Kaphapittahara, can increase Vata in excess
It’s Ayurvedic actions are: 😮
- Medhya, intellect promoting, boosts the memory,
- Useful in disorders such as epilepsy (Apasmara)
- Rasayana, it is also praised as a Majjadhatu rasayana as it rejuvenates the nervous system. Useful in Parkinson’s, ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome.
- Shotha/ oedema – brahmi has a mild diuretic property
- Smritiprada – promotes the intellect and intelligence.

- It can cool the heat of cystitis and pain of dysuria by eliminating pitta out of the mutravahasrotas. Medicated milk with brahmi is best for this.
- Brahmi nourishes all seven dhatus (tissues)
Parts used: The whole plant
Brahmi can also be used externally: The paste prepared of Brahmi churna is applied in arthritis to relieve the pain and swelling of the joints.
The medicated oil of Brahmi augments hair growth and imparts calming effect on the mind.
We wish you a beautiful Sunday.
With Love Karin 🙏♥️
