ASHWAGANDHA

The Moodbooster: Tired, irritable or finding it tough to concentrate? Ashwagandha is the answer. It’s an adaptogen, a powerfully intuitive herb proven to help your body deal with stress with its ability to relax the nervous system.

The Science Bit… Ashwagandha has long been prized in Ayurveda for its myriad of positive properties — many of which are now scientifically confirmed. These range from combatting exhaustion and improving sleep quality to stress reduction by decreasing cortisol levels. It’s not known as the King of Ayurvedic herbs for nothing…

BRAHMI

The Memory Magic: You know those once-in-a-blue-moon days when everything’s going your way? Brahmi boosts your brainpower to put you on your A game just like that. It’s a natural nootropic (or “smart drug”), a group of herbs traditionally used for their memory and cognitive enhancing properties. 

The Science Bit… Scientific studies show that Brahmi contains chemical compounds called Bacosides which increase the brain’s ability to retain information, creating a sharper, more active mind; ideal for anytime you need to argue your corner or cut through the noise with a perfectly memorised pitch.

AMLA

The One Stop Detox: Amla is a detoxifying dream. Amla is traditionally believed to clear toxins from the colon, allowing the brain and body to communicate better; Ayurvedic doctors have always known about the link between gut health and mental health, and Western science is catching up now. 

The Science Bit… Amla is packed full of ‘anti’s — it’s an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory, even anti-ageing. Research shows it’s also anti-memory loss and pro-brain protection. Win win.

TULSI

The Elevated Elixir: Also known as Holy Basil, adaptogen Tulsi is a revered herb in many cultures. It’s called the elixir of life in Ayurvedic medicine because it has many vital properties to promote longevity and general wellbeing, and in particular its ability to sharpen the senses.

The Science Bit… Research shows that Tulsi can zap brain fog and significantly improve memory. It has also been shown to increase adaptability, leaving you primed to take on whatever the world throws at you.

SHANKHAVALI

The Brain Tonic: Traditionally believed to be the only herb capable of enhancing every aspect of the human mind, Shankhavali is the boost overworked brains need to thrive. Another nootropic, it maximises cognitive capability while providing calming effects.

The Science Bit… Studies show Shankhavali reduces the physical symptoms of stress, promoting serenity in both body and mind. Like other nootropics, it has been shown to boost cognitive function and helps with memory retention.
