Brahmi and Gotu-kola are the main revitalizing ayurvedic herbs for the nerves and the brain cells. They increase intelligence, longevity, memory and decreases senility and aging. They also fortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and strengthen the adrenals.

Gotu kola is a tonic and rejuvenative for Pitta. At the same time it inhibits Vata, calms the nerves, and helps reduce excessive Kapha. It is perhaps the most spiritual and sattvic of all herbs. Growing commonly in the Himalayas, gotu kola is used by yogis as food for meditation. It awakens the crown chakra and helps balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain. A cup of gotukola tea can be taken with honey before meditation. As a milk decoction gotu kola makes a good nerve tonic. The powder may be used externally as a paste for chronic skin conditions. With basil and black pepper, it is good for fever.

BRAHMI as it aids knowledge of Brahman, the Supreme Reality is perhaps the most important nervine herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. It revitalizes the brain cells, removing toxins and blockages within the nervous system, while at the same time having an nurturing effect. It improves memory and aids in concentration. A small amount of the fresh leaves are eaten daily for rejuvenating the mind. Brahmi helps awaken the crown chakra and balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Brahmi, regarded as ‘the giver of supreme wisdom’, is one of the most powerful nervine and rejuvenative herbs in the ayurvedic material medica. Brahmi, however, is the common name of two different herbs. One bears the Latin name Bacopa Monnieri, and the other, Centella Asiatica or commonly Gotu Kola. While both are independently regarded for the nerve soothing and rejuvenative properties, each has a distinct set of effects that renders them individually useful for slightly diverse applications. Bacopa Monnieri is known for its very bitter taste very powerful cleansing properties. It is generally used to increase intelligence and longevity, and to treat anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy. Gotu Kola, however, though sweeter in taste is similarly used to support mind function, memory, longevity, and aid against their degeneration, but it further has blood purifying properties which render it effective against a number of skin conditions, and certain types of fevers. These two plants having similar effects and a common name are often confused. To avoid this confusion, they will here be referred to by their alternate names. Perhaps a look into their various methods and indications of application will further help to distinguish them.

Brahmi Churna (bacopa monnieri) is ground leaves from the bacopa plant. It is used both internally and externally. Externally, it can be applied as a paste or in oil to relieve the pain and swelling of the joints due to injury or arthritis. Internally, it is one of the best tonics for the nerves and is widely used in Ayurvedic treatments epilepsy and hysteria. Due to its inherent strength it can be very toxic at high doses, and so is generally steeped in water as with tea as opposed to a decoction in which the herb is boiled in water for some time. This mild infusion can be very bitter and it is recommended to be taken with honey. In this form, bacopa delivers all the effects for which it is famous. It improves the memory and intelligence, soothes the nerves, relieves headaches, cools the body, relieving burning and pain, and is even slightly diuretic, helping to cleanse the kidneys and blood of toxins and excess salts.
 
Brahmi Churna (Centella asiatica / gotu kola) is the ground leaves from the gotu kola plant. It is also used both internally and externally, but has slightly different effects. Gotu kola is a tonic and rejuvenative for Pitta, and used externally it helps to relieve burning and itching in chronic skin conditions. Internally, its blood purifying effect helps to alleviate a wide range of skin conditions from the very serious like leprosy and syphilis to the less serious like eczema and psoriasis. For such conditions, combined internal and external application can augment these effects. Gotu kola taken in a mild infusion or as a tea is also soothing to the nerves, supportive of cognitive function, and an aid against aging and memory loss. It further supports the immune system and the adrenal glands by both feeding and cleansing them. Taken in as a decoction in milk it is especially soothing to the nerves, and can be a great tonic for anxiety, nervousness, and headache.
