Brahmi induces a sense of calm and peace and improves cognitive function. In ayurvedic traditional medicine, brahmi is used as a rasayana, a traditional formulation that includes spices and honey to make a palatable mixture. The effectiveness of brahmi is increased by simultaneous supplementation with inositol and/or a B-vitamin complex. For best results, adults should take 3,000 milligrams once or twice daily. It may take four weeks to see an improvement.
The powdered form can be added to hot water to make a soothing tea. It can also be mixed with ghee (a form of clarified butter) and added to warm water to make an herbal drink.
