Ayurveda and Memory Loss


Ayurveda is something that is viewed by Western medicine as ‘alternative’ or ‘complementary’ medicine. It is the system of traditional medicine that emerged and has evolved through the ages in India. Ayurveda stresses mainly on plant based medicine and uses different kinds of oils, spices and minerals for its curative procedures. The use of turmeric and neem for the cure of various ills is well known and when these were sought to be patented in the US, these patents were cancelled on the grounds that these were generically used in a vast majority of India households over the centuries.

Ayurveda also has been seen to help in cases where memory loss has been a problem with patients. Ayurveda even otherwise produces formulations for improvement of memory for students or others who wish to improve their retentive powers. The traditional plant Bhrahmi is considered to be highly beneficial for the improvement of memory.
