About this product

At the muddy margins of ponds and slow rivers across South and Southeast Asia, a low succulent herb creeps along the bank, its small oval leaves set with pale purple flowers that close each evening. This is bacopa, known in Sanskrit texts as brahmi, after the creator god Brahma.

In Ayurvedic practice it has been chewed, brewed and taken for well over a thousand years, long associated with students, scholars and the reciters of long verse, and a fixture of the gurukul schools. Harvesters cut the tender top growth by hand, since the youngest leaves carry the most of the bacosides the plant is prized for. The leaf is shade-dried rather than sun-dried, a slower process that better preserves its color and aroma, then milled to a fine gray-green powder with a faintly grassy, mineral smell and packed into simple capsules.

How to use

Take one capsule in the morning with breakfast. Always take it with food, as it can upset the stomach. Pair it with real rest, since no herb is a substitute for sleep. A quiet, green companion for long hours at the desk.
