Dear Sir,
I bought baidyanath’s brahmi vati with a different ingredient list: each 250mg tab contains:: swarnamakshik bhasma, ras sindoor, vach, each 23.1mg; shadow dried brahmi & shankhpushpi & gavjavaan, each 46.3mg; kali mirch 11.6mg; rest sahayak and bhavna dravya
Is this ok? Can it be taken with water? I’m a student of 23 having no medical complication and want to enhance my memory and intellect.
Hi, because of heavy metal content of this product, it should be only used under medical supervision. For you, just to enhance memory and intellect, the simpler and better option will be to go with Brahmi capsule – 1 capsule in the morning, after food for a period of 2 months, and then stop it.
A friendly advice:
Rely more on your self confidence, strength and power to improve your memory and intellect, rather than medicines. You are a born champion. Believe in that and work harder.

I am having treatment of depression and anxiety since 5 months mirazep 15.
I was having tingling and heavily head, some of the symptoms cured but still there 10% symptoms.
Will ayurvedic treatment (bramhivati)help me.
Please suggest.
It can help. Please consult a doctor before taking it.
Both are very highly unlikely to cause Hidradenitis suppurativa.
Another issue may be – Both are ushna – hot in nature. You might be sensitive to hot medicines, and that might be the reason for the side effect.

Hello Sir,
I have been reading your articles often, my father (72yrs) has sleep & memory problem for long, my mother passed away recently so father is mentally disturbed, he sleeps only for 3-4 hrs at night, which makes him sleepy during day time, he falls asleep in sitting position, he forgets things easily, he also has constipation, gas problems otherwise by gods grace he has no chronis disease, please help
Thank you!
Hello! Will appreciate your help in following. As I can’t fall asleep for long hours and then sleep half a day, have busy mind and anxiety, maybe some neurosis even, I was recommended by my friend to take Brahmi. So I bought Dabur Brahmi Vati. First, I am really conserned about those toxic metals it contains. How do I know that my pills are original and not a harmful fake? For example, my bottle contains 39pills, not 40 as it should! Another question is if it is ok to take Triphala, Lakshadi Guggul and Calcicor in the same course with this Brahmi? As I also have back and musculs pain, artrosis and osteofits. In addition, I’m planning pregnancy in three month. Is this treatment ok with that?
Can we give godanti bhasm,motipishti with brahmvati to treat frequent headaches in an autistic child?
Thanks dr.
There is a confusing or potentially wrong infornation here. It is claimed that Brahmi Vati is famous in North Indian Ayurveda. Elsewhere on the internet it says that In north India Gotu Kola or Centella Asiatica is known as Brahmi.
In South India Bacopa Monnieri is known as Brahmi. This creates immense confusion in the minds of people when the ingredient is listed as Brahmi.
The ingredient in the Brahmi Vati in this article is listed as (Bacopa Monnieri), which is a South Indian herb, so the claim that its primarily a North Indian Ayurvedic practise looks dubious.
Bacopa monneiri and Centella asiatica are used inter-changeably allover India. Not only in North India.

Dear Admin,
As you said that ” 1 capsule 2 times aday after food for 1 month, and then 1 capsule at night after food for another month and then stop” So, after this what we have to do.
How long the gap should be after 2 month of usage. You said stop, so can we start again after giving 1 month gap?
Also can we continue like this – 1 tab per day for 2 months then 10 to 20 or 1 month gap and then start again the same cycle. Please advice sir?
