|
Himalaya Bacopa is a pure herb extract. Bacopa or Brahmi (Latin name: Bacopa Monnieri) is a classic brain and nervine tonic. Bacopa has been shown to improve brain functions. It enhances the intellect, consciousness and mental clarity. An extraordinary property of Brahmi is that while invigorating the mind, it also relaxes it which is why Bacopa is being used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Bacopa is considered the main rejuvenating herb for nerve and brain cells and, therefore, has played a very important role in Ayurvedic therapies for the treatment of cognitive disorders of aging.

Countless studies have shown that Bacopa / Brahmi helps improve protein activity and protein synthesis, especially in brain cells, which can increase intelligence, longevity and memory and decrease senility and aging.
Bacopa has tranquilizing effects but, unlike synthetic sedatives which often have side effects of dulling the mind, it actually improves mental clarity. It is also used as an anti-anxiety agent, to calm restlessness in children, and to cure several mental disorders. It is most commonly used as a nervine tonic that enhances learning and academic performance, improves mental alertness, and sharpens short-term and long-term memory. As a nervine tonic, Brahmi has been used to help those affected by stroke, nervous breakdown or exhaustion

Bacopa in Ayurveda:
Bacopa has been used in the Indian medical system of Ayurveda since the 6th century A.D. to help improve mental performance. Bacopa is the classic Ayurvedic nervine and brain tonic. Bacopa is included in a class of Ayurvedic herbs called "Brahmi",in honor of Brahma, the creator, in the trinity with Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer. Literally translated this mean "Godlike". Obviously, Bacopa is held in great esteem in the science of Ayurveda to earn this title, and rightfully so due to its multitudinous effects on the body and mind.
Brahmi has been known to be a pacifier of all three doshas, mainly kapha and vata. Ayurvedic physicians believe it to be the drug of choice for counteracting the vitiated vata dosha, the factor which governs the nervous system. Ayurvedic tests describe Brahmi as medhya, a medicine that braces the mind to carry cognitive functions and intellectual pursuits. But ancient authors seem to believe that the healing effects of Brahmi extend far beyond mind and brain. Brahmi is not only a memory-booster and intellect-promoting herb; it is also a tranquilliser, a muscle relaxant, an anti-convulsant, a blood purifier, and an anti-pyretic, carminative and digestive agent.
Acharya Chakradutta has written that Brahmi is beneficial in all types of epilepsy. Ancient texts describe the use of Brahmi in a number of other disorders like biliousness, ulcers, splenomegaly, asthma, skin diseases and in general and senile debility.
Bacopa Facts:
Botanical Name : : BACOPA MONNIERI
Family Name: : SCROPHULARIACEAE
Common Name: : HERPESTIS MONNIERIA, THYME LEAVED GRATIOLA, BRAHMI
Bacopa grows in marshy places and is cultivated in South India. It is Diuretic, Cardiac, Nervine and Tonic. It is reported to improve intellect, treatment of asthma, hoarseness, insanity, epilepsy. It is a potent nervous tonic and is anti anxiety agent. It is considered good for the heart.
The whole plant is used for medicinal purposes.
This herb is used to improve the process of learning, restore memory, enhance the power of speech and imagination, ease nervous and mental strain, and is employed in cases of insanity, epilepsy, hysteria, aesthenia, and nervous breakdowns. Taking Brahmi can assist you in experiencing a greater sense of well-being during periods of restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, cloudiness of thought, and an overactive mind. Very helpful in the treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder, this herb induces a sense of calm and peace while facilitating concentration by stimulating neural activity. It is also used as a blood cleanser and is considered helpful for any inflammations, chronic skin diseases, high fevers, hair loss, and with controlling blood pressure.
Bacopa Contraindications, Toxicity, Cautions, and Safety
To date, no side effects have been reported with Bacopa. As with all dietary or herbal supplements, you should inform your health care professional that you are using this product. Women who are pregnant or nursing are advised to consult with a physician prior to use although medical literature has not reported any adverse effects related to fetal development during pregnancy or to infants who are breast-fed. This herb has been used safely by healthy people of all ages in India, and Brahmi tea is actually given to infants starting in their first month of life to encourage optimal brain development.
Bacopa Research and Clinical Studies
The government owned Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and its Central Drug Institute (CDRI) laboratories in India began isolating the active ingredients to Bacopa in the 1960's and found it to contain two classes of plant saponins which they aptly christened Bacosides A and B - antioxidant chemicals responsible for its mind-sharpening, anxiety-reducing and neuroprotective effects. Their mechanism of action is not certain but it is known that these bacosides enhance depleted neural transmission, prevent its decay and encourage the protein synthesis that accompanies memory formation. They also bind to cell receptors providing antioxidant protection to the brains memory centres against highly reactive and damaging metabolic end-products known as free radicals.
Since the 60's the CSIR has been conducting pre-clinical animal studies to test its safety and toxicity and the results have been unambiguous. "Our research proved that this standardised extract improves protein activity and protein synthesis, especially in the brain cells," says A R Marshelkar, director general of the CSIR. According to a CSIR technical report it is confident of bacopa's effectiveness in humans 'Brahmi, the crude extract derived from the indigenous plant Bacopa Monniera, has been used for the treatment of cognitive disorders of ageing in Indian medicine since ancient times,' it says. Indeed studies carried out in normal healthy children, elderly subjects with age associated memory impairment and children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have shown bacopa to be safe, well tolerated, efficacious and without side effects.
Bacopa belongs to a growing family of "Adaptogens" or nutrients that improve mental function by balancing it. Rats given low doses of bacopin extracts perform significantly better on memory, reaction-time and learning tests when put under stress than do untreated subjects. But until recently its effects in humans was inconclusive. However clinical studies performed at the CDRI in India have laid that doubt to rest and confirmed that bacosides can revitalize intellectual functions in children and reduce anxiety in stressed individuals, thereby contributing to improved brain functions, making it the herb of choice for attention deficit disorder in hyperactive children.
Double-blind placebo-controlled studies at the Neuropsychological laboratory at the School of Biophysical Science and Electrical engineering in Australia this year tested bacopa herb extracts over 12 weeks in healthy human subjects and concluded that the herb significantly improves information processing, rate of learning and memory consolidation. Indeed bacosides overcome the "law of diminishing returns" which predicts that retention of new information in humans diminishes from 55% in the first hour to 27% in the second to even less in the third so that ordinarily 1 in 2 learned tasks are forgotten. However over a 3 month period students taking bacopa experience a leap to 95% retention which lasts well into 4 hours and means only 1 in 20 learned tasks are forgotten!
Research at the Department of Paediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, India has shown that extracts of the bacopa herb have even been shown to improve the outlook of mental retardation in children with its tonic action on short and long term memory function. This is most likely a result of its ability to induce enzyme and protein synthesis at specific sites in the brain like the hippocampus (where memories are created) which is responsible for laying down new memories.
Bacopa then may have a broad spectrum of indications from "study aid" during the stresses of exam time to dementias like Alzheimer's where conventional treatments have failed. Indeed for those of us with stress-related memory problems increasing our performance in learning situations with ancient remedies like Bacopa may be a valuable antidote to modern day "techno-stress".
Recent studies have focused on Bacopa's effectiveness in treating depression and the results have proved promising. It has been used successfully to treat the symptoms associated with depression without the side effects that are often associated with the class of drugs known as SSRI's. This class includes the popular drugs like Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft. Although this class of drugs has proven to be effective in dealing with depression, the side effects can often be unacceptable for many people who are taking them. Bacopa may be a wonderful natural alternative for those persons who cannot tolerate the side effects of the SSRI class of drugs as it has been shown to have many of the same benefits without the side negative effects (please consult with your physician before making any change to your current medications). The wonderful action of Bacopa is that while helping to control the symptoms of depression it also enhances the brain's ability to learn and retain information
Bacopa also protects epileptic patients from seizures and combats the drug-induced cognitive impairment resulting from treatment. Open trials in India testing bacopa extracts on 13 epileptics over 3-16 month terms demonstrated a significant reduction in seizures in most patients and a complete remission in 5 cases. Furthermore researchers at the University of New Delhi, India have shown that it significantly reverses drug-induced deterioration in mental function like memory acquisition and retention without affecting the drugs' anticonvulsant activity. As a sedative with anti-seizure activity Bacopin may well be the first in a class of "clean" anti-epileptic agents which are free from the mind-numbing side effects of conventional drugs. Indeed it is this ability to sedate without dulling the faculties like memory and concentration common to many epilepsy treatments and actually increasing mental alacrity that has lead to its widespread use as a smart, non-addictive anti-anxiety agent.
Bacopa is also known as a natural antioxidant which may explain its neuroprotective role seen in the memory centres of the brain. Just 100mg of the extract has a stronger antioxidant action than 5 times the recommended daily dose of vitamin E. Indeed animal studies at the Institute of Medical Sciences in India show that bacosides increase local reserves of powerful antioxidant enzymes like glutathione, catalase and super oxide dismutase which mop up free radicals. This beneficial surge in free-radical scavengers spares sensitive memory-critical sites in the brain like the frontal cortex, striatum and hippocampus (where memories are created) from oxidative damage common in Parkinson's, dementia, depression and even aging. In particular the hippocampus dubbed "the seat of memory" appears to be selectively protected at its synapses (nerve junctions) by bacosides which is very exciting because this is where conventional neuroprotective drugs like Deprenyl and Centrophenoxine fail to act.
