In the Tradition

Charaka places Brahmi among the Medhya Rasayanas, herbs traditionally used to support memory and a steady mind.

It grows in wet, marshy ground, and its fresh juice has long been cooked into oils for the head.

Cooling Brahmi oil is a classic choice for a calming scalp massage before sleep.

Our Brahmi comes from the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.

It is prepared for our oils and formulations according to its classical protocol.
