URDU : Brahmisak (Pakistan)."Brahmi" is applied to Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in Northern and Western India but defines Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in Kerala (Southern India). (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000)
"Mandukaparni" applies to Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in
Northern and Western India but defines Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in
Kerala. (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000).
It is stated on the Maharishi Ayurveda site : "Two main herbs
(Herpestis Monniera, Bacopa Monnieri ) go by the name of Brahmi in the ancient
Ayurvedic texts. Some experts from The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians
feel that Herpestis Monniera is more authentic and is preferable for mental
benefits except where urinary flow, purification, and immunomodulation is
desired by the physician.
The other herb that commonly goes by this name is
more popularly known in the U.S. as Gotu-Kola, or Centella asiatica, called
Mandukaparni. "
Unfortunately modern scientists
have lumped both plants (Herpestis monniera and Bacopa monnieri),
if ever there were 2 distinctive plants involved, in the same bag
- i.e. they are considered as synonyms.
Bacopa monnieri:
