Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi Nancy: I take Planetary Bacopa-Ginkgo! I have been doing so for a number of month's now, and I do notice that I pay attention more. As far as retaining information, which I was hoping to do.......no! Hope this helped!

You also find Centella asiatica or Mandurparni. Bacopa monnieri is a best rasayana for the mind, as Centella asiatica is best for the tissus, especially blood (rakta) and skin (rasa). But Centella also has an effect on the the mind and is a rasayana (rejuvenate). Gotu Kola rejuvenates the brain, helps with the memory, is a nervous tonic, purifies the blood et is helpful in curing any skin desease, even chronic ones. It is also a sattvic plant (gives a calm and clear mind) and tridoshic so can be used on its own for all constitution. Its use on the long term can help to nullifiy the negative effects of stress. Gotu Kola also has many minerals such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, aluminium and iron. But beware as in large quantities, it can cause headache ou itching. Therefore Gotu Kola has a better effect if taken on a small dosage over a long period of time (500 mg twice a day with warm water over 3 or 6 months). A best way of taking it would be as a tincture. In France you can find them in any chemist. It might be the same in your country (?) Namaskaar Delphine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
