Bacopa

Bacopa (Bacopa monniera) is an herb long used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India. Bacopa is widely promoted as a treatment for memory disorders, anxiety, and thyroid health. However, not all of these benefits are supported by scientific evidence. Bacopa is also referred to as andri, Bacopa monnieri, grace herb, herpestis, herpestis monniera, Indian centella and water hyssop.

If you are considering trying bacopa, be sure to consult your primary care physician first to weigh the pros and cons and discuss whether it is appropriate for you.
