Brahmi- for Long, Healthy, Lustrous and Luxuriant Hair


What is Brahmi
Brahmi,or, Bacopa monniera, is an aquatic creeper that continues to grow perennially . The natural herbal plant mostly grows in tropical climates. It is abundantly found in wetlands and marshes of India, Florida and several other countries.

The ancient Indian sages learnt about brahmi plant thousands of years back and mentioned its medical qualities in   Sushrut Samhita, a historic repertoire of Ayurvedic medicines.
Indian women especially in southern parts of India, where brahmi is found,   often sport 4-5 long silky, thick, smooth and flowing hair even in scorching and humid summers. These women are known to possess the longest and the most beautiful hair in the world. Their achievement won them nomination from the Guinness Book of World Records (1998). Surprisingly enough, it hardly takes them more than five minutes to brush them.


Brahmi as a  tonic for overall physical health
Brahmi is a powerful tonic. It restores the disrupted blood circulation by minimising the growth   of the inflammatory chemicals in the brain, which is regarded as one of the major causes of the attention deficit disorder-ADD or the loss of memory. It, thus, restores the memory and strengthens the   taut and emaciated nerves of the brain.

Brahmi is also known for its antioxidant qualities. It fights the free radicals that spread toxins in the linings of brain cells. It thus protects the nerve tissues in the brain from getting damaged.
t is, obviously, a potent medicine for treating the anxiety and stress syndrome and restoring calm and serenity to the people who are engaged in stressful activities.

It is known to improve the cognitive functions of the brain, in other words, the intelligence and memory of the users. One reason it is called Brahmi is that it is the name of the goddess of Intelligence. Some of the other benefits of brahmi are:
1. Treats Alopecia

Alopecia means hair loss leading to baldness. The anti-oxidant ingredients of the brhami oil strengthen the roots of the hair and prevent them from getting eroded and causing the head to be bald.
2. Cures dandruff

A massage of a hair oil with brahmi as its main ingredient  helps its anti-oxidant ingredients to penetrate into the scalp and strengthen and nourish the roots of the hair. They also prevent the splitting of the hair ends.  They, thus, reduce the flaking and itching sensation associated with the dandruff and also cure it.
3. Useful for Sleeplessness

Loss of sleep and rest is generally caused by nervousness and tensions in the brain. A massage with the brahmi oil relaxes and calms down the nerves and brings rest and sleep.
4. Focus and alertness of mind

Since application of brahmi relaxes the mind, the person can better focus on his/her work and be more productive.
5. Promotes healthy hair growth

Since brahmi improves the circulation of blood in the brain and improves its overall health, it is obvious that brahmi  oil promotes the growth of long, healthy, silky, lustrous, thick and voluminous crop of hair on the head that you have always dreamt of. It does not cause the side effects associated with the chemicals contained in most hair products.
Hair is longer when it is healthy. This is precisely what brahmi does when brahmi is used as the basic ingredient of the hair oil.  . It makes your hair healthy and helps it to grow naturally and fast too.
