BRAHMI: THE AYURVEDA HERB OF GRACE

Brahmi is often known for its benefits on brain health.
Vallarai Keerai is a time-tested herb in Ayurveda, that is categorized as a
“Medhya Rasayana” plant, meaning natural produce that remarkably promotes
mental faculties, mood, memory and thinking
However, that doesn’t explain everything about how it can be helpful. Here’s a
more comprehensive list of benefits:

concentration.

anxiety

supplements for optimizing Pitta.

Kapha in the body.

Vallarai Keerai, also known as Gotu Kola, is a powerful medicinal herb that
confers immense health benefits primarily for enhancing brain activity and
nervous system functioning, besides mitigating joint pain in arthritis, healing
stomach ulcers and decreasing stress, anxiety.
Scientifically known as Centella Asiatica, this green leafy plant is locally called
“Vallarai Keerai” in Tamil, “Mandukaparni” in Sanskrit, “Sarswati” in Hindi
and “Swaraswataku” in Telugu.

Vallarai keerai is a popular green leafy vegetable utilised extensively in
conventional South Indian cooking. The other segments of the plant, namely the
stem, flowers and fruits are also used in numerous natural home remedies for
skin ailments like eczema, boosting memory, aiding in digestion, in Ayurveda
practice in India as well as in traditional Chinese medicine.

vitamins to regulate metabolism and cellular energy requirements.

neurotransmitter activity in the CNS, thereby ensuring normal relay of nerve
signals from the brain to the other organs in the body, as well as heightened
cognitive abilities.
Boosts Immune System
Consuming just a moderate quantity of vallarai keerai will satisfy the daily
vitamin C requirement in healthy adults.

It also functions in promoting cardiac muscle activity, lowers the amounts of
bad LDL cholesterol and raises levels of good HDL cholesterol.

conditions like constipation and indigestion.

helping to maintain optimal bone density for day-to-day functions and flexible,
unobstructed movement.
Combats Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Vallarai keerai offers profuse amounts of vitamin C that confers anti-
inflammatory properties to reduce swelling in the bladder, which is more
common in women than men.

Helps Cure Anemia
Taking some vallarai keerai salad with meals will guarantee ample uptake of
iron, from foods, into the system and promote red blood cell synthesis and

healing depression, anxiety and mental stress.

Effect On Doshas
Vallarai Keerai, in essence, has a slightly madhura rasa (sweet taste) with
intrinsically laghu and ruksha gunas (light and dry qualities). It possesses ushna
virya (heating potency), balancing the kapha (earth and water) dosha (element)
while excessively influencing pitta (fire and water) and vata (air and ether)
doshas. Moreover, it fosters the positive and equalizing states of mind namely
sattva and rajas, effectively eliminating tamas or a negative mindset.
Ameliorates Depression Symptoms
It is also a wonderful solution for improving conditions of memory loss and
nerve decline in neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and
others.

Offers Anti-Aging Benefits
Eating a gotu kola salad or drinking the juice will also help to boost the
production of collagen, a protein essential for maintaining the elasticity and
firmness of skin texture.
