Anticonvulsant potential of commonly practiced formulations of Brahmi

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri Linn) is an important herb in Ayurved, reported to have a wide range of medicinal properties. In clinical practice it is usually prescribed in its various dosage forms. The most common of those are Brahmi Ghrita (BG) and Saraswatarishta (SW). Use of Brahmi as anti-convulsion drug is well documented in scientific literature however; no data is available on the effect of its commonly practiced dosage forms. Hence, the study was carried out to evaluate anti-convulsion potential of BG and SW.
