The plant grows to about 2-3 feet in height while its branches creeps horizontally covering the ground. It is found growing throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world and grows well in wetlands, muddy shores and near the ponds, bogs gardens, and can even grow in rather brackish conditions. It prefers moist conditions in undrained soil conditions. It grows well in clay, sand, cinder, organic, and coral soils. The plant has decumbent or erect stems that are hairy or smooth. Leaves Leaves are succulent, oblong, 0.6-2.5 cm long, 3-8 mm broad and 4-6 mm (0.16-0.24 in) thick. Leaves are oblanceolate and are arranged oppositely (opposite deccusate) on the stem. Lower surface is dotted. When the leaf is crushed with fingers it has a nice lemon scent. Flower Flowers are small, pink, purple, and white colored. It blooms all year round. The small, actinomorphic flowers have four or five petals. Corolla is about one cm long, pale, lobes 5, oblong, obtuse, sub equal, with purple tips. Fruit Fruit of the Bacopa plant is a capsule ovoid-acuminate or slightly beaked at the apex. Seeds are oblong, truncate, longitudinally ribbed with transverse striations in between the ribs. The fruit does not have distinct odor and is slightly bitter in taste. Bacopa has great value in Ayurvedic medicine, mainly used as brain and mental tonic to treat Alzheimer disease, memory loss, insanity, insomnia and other mental illness. Health Benefits: 1. Respiratory Benefits When brahmi is brewed in a tea or chewed as normal leaves, it helps to boost your respiratory health. It has been used in Ayurvedic treatments for bronchitis, congestion, chest colds, and blocked sinuses. It helps to clear out excess phlegm and mucus and relieve the inflammation in the throat and respiratory tracts to provide you rapid relief. 2. Improves Mental Function Regular use of bacopa is quite helpful to improve your mental performance and cognitive function. According to the University of Michigan Health System, its leaves consist of bacosides, which help to improve learning, memory and overall mental function. Research of healthy individuals who took bacopa for three months found that the accuracy of their memory improved, and small studies of children in India found that taking 1,000 milligrams per day of bacopa improved memory, reaction time and observation. But another study of 76 people aged 40 to 65 years found that taking bacopa had no impact on restoring memory and only slight improvement in retaining new information. 3. Cognitive Boost One of the most appreciated benefits of brahmi is its ability to encourage the mind, mainly in terms of memory and concentration. It has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to increase focus and increase retention. Certain organic compounds in brahmi encourage cognitive pathways in the brain to boost cognitive ability. 4. Immune System Booster When consumed in any form, tea leaves, or otherwise, it can give the immune system an essential boost. Small amount of nutrients is supplemented by the antioxidant compounds to increase the response time of our immune system against pathogens, viruses, or bacterial infection. 5. Prevents & Treats Stomach Ulcers Bacopa is quite beneficial for preventing and healing stomach ulcers, as well as protecting your gastrointestinal tract. It helps to stimulate the production of mucus in the gastrointestinal tract and appears to protect stomach cells. Another action that helps to prevent and treat ulcers is bacopa's ability to relax the muscles that control the intestinal blood vessels, according to animal research. 6. Anxiety and Stress Leaves of the Bacopa can be chewed (only 2-3 at a time) in order to relieve stress and anxiety. The active ingredients in brahmi can effect hormonal balance in the body and positively impact the balance of stress hormones in our body, thus inducing a calm, relaxed state in a natural way, avoiding the side effects of traditional pharmaceutical options for stress and anxiety relief. 7. Eases Depression In case you are suffering from depression, taking bacopa is quite beneficial. Bacopa boosts the effects of certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin and acetylcholine. This effect on neurotransmitters helps to enables bacopa to decrease depression symptoms. Several animal researches of bacopa's effectiveness in treating anxiety and depression have produced positive results, finding that bacopa was nearly as effective as common prescription depression medications, but without the side effects. However certain human studies failed to find any anti-anxiety benefits from taking bacopa. 8. Antioxidant Content Bacopa consists of huge amount of antioxidants that are essential for supporting a healthy lifestyle. Antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals, the dangerous byproducts of cellular metabolism that can cause cells to undergo apoptosis (cell death) or mutate into cancerous cells. Antioxidants also prevent certain types of cancer; research is continuing into the direct pathways that its components take to prevent or slow the spread of cancer. 9. Epilepsy Bacopa leaves have been used as a treatment against epilepsy for thousands of years. This is due to the effect brahmi has on neural pathways, and it helps to prevent epileptic fits, as well as other forms of mental disease, including bipolar disorder and neuralgia. 10. Digestive Issues Bacopa is a calming, soothing and anti-inflammatory herb and help in providing relief from gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers etc. 11. Treats Respiratory Conditions Bacopa help to treat or relieve symptoms of certain respiratory ailments, including allergies and asthma. It helps to relax the bronchioles, which often become inflamed or irritated from respiratory conditions. Bacopa extracts also relax the blood vessel muscles around the respiratory airway passages, notes the University of Michigan Health System. 12. Skin Health If you want to speed up wound healing and disinfect the skin at the same time, spread brahmi juice or oil on the affected area. It helps to reduce the appearance of scarring and leave you with smooth, healthy skin enriched with its natural essential oils. 13.
