THE MANY BENEFITS OF BRAHMI/GOTU KOLA
Those familiar with the "doctrine of signatures" may not find it surprising that a plant with a leaf that resembles a cerebellum would have an affinity for the brain. A known nootropic herb, one that benefits the brain and improves cognitive function, brahmi/gotu kola is also considered highly sattvic (pure, harmonious) and has been historically eaten by yogis to assist in meditation.

SOURCING MATTERS
A water-loving, aquatic plant, brahmi/gotu kola is often found growing wild along streams, rice paddy fields, and irrigation ditches, which means the plants can come into contact with contaminated, polluted water. This is why we choose to only work with farms that cultivate gotu kola on organic land and irrigate their fields with pristine, clean water.

We love gotukola brahmi powder. I take daily. It keeps mind sharp and helps to sleep well.
It supports hair growth too.
Thanks Banyan for making pure quality products.
I love the benefits you receive from it. Clear thinking, focus. Ya I love that part, the taste is another thing ,I found it best to drop serving in mouth and drink down with anything that will lessen the after taste.
Re slow in showing seeable differences - each capsule is 475 mg I think. Maybe I need more strength to hasten and liven the memory more.
I have had such an improvement with being less irritable since taking this. I've also been sleeping better. I'm thinking the gotu kola has influenced these positive changes :)
Great! Thank you
I have ordered Gotu Kola previously from BB and was very happy with the quality, but recently I've ordered a new batch and it differs from what I am used to. It feels sandy, and the color of an herb is brownish green instead of beatiful leafy green color, and I cannot see the benefits of an herb that it has. Too bad I have ordered a pound of it this time :( So upset with the quality of an herb this time.
Thank you for your review, and we're sorry to hear that this batch of Brahmi/Gotu Kola powder didn't meet your expectations. We want you to be absolutely satisfied with your Brahmi, so we'll be contacting you soon to figure out a solution. Although it can be normal for the color and even the texture of the herbs to change from batch to batch, we want to make sure you are fully satisfied and we are happy to help!
Good, high quality product.
Fantabulous. . . . . Can't find such products in INDIA

Was taking Mental Clarity in pill form, but powder is great for other reasons. I believe in menopause, mental clarity needs significant support & these ingredients are absolutely my savior.
They always have high quality products in stock and this one is no different. It’s effective.

I quit buying from this company because i can only buy a spice jar way too small or a half a pound which is way too much for my needs. There is no expiration date on these bulk herbs. I have a large amount left over that I bought less than 5 months ago, and it is no longer any good. Yet again i will be composting expensive medicinal herbs.
Hi Phil, thanks for your feedback, we're sorry if there was any issue with your Brahmi powder! We don't state an expiration date on the bulk herbs because they technically don't expire. We recommend using the powders within three years of purchase for the best results. We'll be reaching out to you directly to figure out a good solution for you!
My husband and I are taking brahmi because we believe it is good for preventative measures as the brain ages and for current stress on the brain. The powder easily mixes into a breakfast smoothie which is a plus.
Love it
Best sleep I’ve had in my entire life...I drank a half a teaspoon at night and after two weeks it kicked in and now I sleep better than I’ve ever slept
I can't assess brain function but Brahmi/Gotu Kola powder definitely enhances my mood. Makes me feel more relaxed and not so edgy.
I take a heaping 1/4 teaspoon in the morning on a empty stomach before I meditate, and it helps I guess. Meditation is not a science so it is hard to tell. But what I can tell you for sure, is my brain is thinking more clearly, and at 68 years old I appreciate all the help I can get, and this powder helps me.
After a great deal of research I was able to find an authentic source of ayurvedic medicines. For example, they make Chavyanprash only from the limited number of herbs and ingredients that are now available in modern times instead of listing a plethora for which no authentic source is available —as done by some “famous” people in the US.
I love putting a dash of this in my afternoon herbal tea. Without caffeine, it boosts my mental clarity and helps me through an often sluggish time of the day.
Thanks for taking the time to review our product, Jessica! We're glad to hear it's helping you!

Fast delivery and really good quality.
Love them both Ashwagandaha and Gotu Kola..I like to mix a quarter of a teaspoon of each with some Matcha tea every morning!
Five stars for sure!
I am very happy with the service and quality too. I am just learning about Ayerveda, and another feature is that I get email updates about my particular body type, and they are really helpful. Very happy customer here.
THANK YOU ITS GOOD
The taste of the stuff is horrible. I mean horrible. It tastes like you're drinking cow manure. I don't mean to discourage the consumption of the product. I'm sure it's very good for you. The taste just disagrees with me greatly. I will say one thing. When I took enough of it, my body seemed to like it, and I wanted to drink more of it, as if it were nutritious or something. I guess it had a positive effect, making my body perceive it as agreeable upon consumption. But still, it is initially horrible tasting.
We are sorry that you dislike the taste of Brahmi Gotu Kola powder. Some herbs can be quite shocking in their tastes; it could be that Brahmi’s bitter taste is particularly unpalatable to you. In Ayurveda, taste is actually very important: the six recognized tastes (bitter, astringent, pungent, sweet, sour, salty) all play a crucial role in the physiology. Bitter taste, for example, has innumerable therapeutic benefits and helps bring balance to pitta and kapha. That said, we certainly understand if you decide that this product isn’t right for you. Just contact us privately to get a return started. As an alternative, we do offer this Brahmi in a liquid extract form; some prefer the liquid extract over the powder.
Excellent service
1/4 tsp. in warm water in the evening helps me chill out and unwind before bedtime. I notice a difference in being able to minimize my brain "chatter" so I can sleep better.
I find myself feeling calm and serene after making a hot tea with brahmi.
