What is Bacopa?

Bacopa, scientifically known as Bacopa monnieri, is a herbaceous plant that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, primarily in India. It is also commonly referred to as Brahmi, Water Hyssop, or Herpestis monniera. Bacopa is known for its potential health benefits and cognitive-enhancing properties. In this week’s blog we’ll be going over some of the key benefits associated with Bacopa:

  1. Cognitive Enhancement: Bacopa has been traditionally used to improve cognitive function, memory, and learning abilities. It is believed to enhance synaptic communication and promote overall nerve cell regeneration in the brain.

  2. Stress Reduction: Bacopa has high adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and reduces anxiety. It may help regulate stress hormones like cortisol and promote a sense of calmness and relaxation.

  3. Antioxidant Effects: Bacopa contains potent antioxidants that help protect the body against oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. This can have a positive impact on overall health and may contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases.

  4. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Some studies suggest that Bacopa may possess anti-inflammatory properties. It may help reduce inflammation in the body and support the immune system.

  5. Neuroprotective Effects: Bacopa is believed to have neuroprotective properties, which means it may help protect the brain from degeneration and age-related cognitive decline. It has been studied for its potential in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

  6. Anti-Anxiety and Antidepressant Effects: Bacopa has been used traditionally as a natural remedy for anxiety and depression. It may help regulate certain neurotransmitters associated with mood and emotions, such as serotonin and dopamine.

  7. Improved Sleep Quality: Bacopa may aid in improving sleep quality and reducing insomnia. It can help promote relaxation and a calm mental state, leading to better sleep patterns.


It's important to note that while Bacopa shows extreme promise in its holistic healing, scientific research is ongoing, and more studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness. Our Brain Balance uses this effective herb, along with Humic Powder, PGE Gold, Lithium Orotate, Ashwagandha (White Cherry Root), and Brahmi.


Brain Balance is designed to help balance moods and support overall well-being. Lithium Orotate is said to be a great natural treatment for a wide range of mental health problems*. Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb classified as an adaptogen, to assist your body to manage stress*. Overall, Ambaya designed Brain Balance to help manage stress and anxiety, promote feelings of tranquility, optimism, and clear thinking, and assist with bringing the body and mind into better balance.*
