Want to improve your memory and ability to concentrate?The Herb that we use is the herb bacopa  to protect brain& improve intellectual capacity, concentration & memory, & shorten learning time.In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, they divided people into two groups.One group got 300 mg a day of bacopa.The other got a placebo.After 12 weeks, the people taking bacopa had:

  • Better word recall
  • Better attention
  • Better memory scores
  • A greater ability to ignore irrelevant information when learning
  • Less anxiety
  • Lower heart rates (The stress levels and heart rates in the placebo group increased.)

Another double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation gave 107 healthy people 300 mg of bacopa plant extract powder  daily.

After 90 days,  people had significantly improved:

  • spatial memory,
  • memory accuracy
  • ability to process visual information.

Research also has discovered that bacopa can protect  from toxins  harmful to your brain,

( esp aluminum- Long-term exposure to aluminum can increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 60 percent.)

Indian  researchers gave animals aluminum chloride.

The animals treated with bacopa extract, called Brahmi in India, were protected from damage to the lipids &proteins of brain.

Bacopa’s protection even showed up on  microscopic level.

It prevented a buildup of toxins between neurons, stopped damage to the hippocampus,the  seat of learning, memory and thinking power.

Other studies reveal that  bacopa reduced cellular damage in the part of  brain that controls movement& attention,& reversed  symptoms of muscular problems originating in the brain.

Bacopa has  saponins ( protect against infection) & flavonoids ( natural plant antioxidants).

But bacopa also has two active components called bacosides A and B which:

  • improve the transmission of impulses between  brain nerve cell
  • regenerate synapses
  • repair damaged neurons
  • helps brain  to learn and remember new things  easily.
  • stop a compound called AChE from terminating your memory and thought signals.
  • easy to add this ancient herb to what you eat.

Bacopa monnieri is the species used in Ayurvedic medicine that helps your brain the most.

I make tea from the bacopa powder . Let steep up to 10 minutes,

Here are three things to remember if making tea from the plant:

  • Tear and bruise  leaves so the aromatic oils can be released into the water.
  • You’ll need to use more fresh leaves than you would dried powder.
  • Because it’s an herbal tea with has few tannins, you can steep bacopa for a long time& it won’t get more  bitter like tea from regular tea leaves.
  • The tea can be kept refrigerated up to 4 days.

When I make tea, I like to add stevia leaves. This adds sweetness to the lime flavor of the bacopa.

I also sometimes add bacopa to salads and soups. The slightly tangy lime taste jazzes up the flavor.

As a supplement, bacopa usually comes in a standardized formula of 20 percent bacosides A and B.

You need at least 300 mg of bacopa extract for it to be as effective as it is in the studies.
