Comparative efficacy of Medhya Rasayana,Bacopa monnieri, and Centella asiatica in enhancing memory and IQ of 8-10 year-old healthy boys: A prakriti-based double-blind, randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive problems like learning difficulties, memory problems, intellectual disability, and ADHD are highly associated with school absenteeism and high dropout rates. The novel approach to improving memory and learning in these children is using nootropic herbs known as Medhya Rasayana (intellect enhancer) in Ayurveda. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri L. Pannel), one of the Medhya Rasayana, has proven to be useful through extensive research. Still, the other Medhya Rasayana requires thorough research based on the Ayurvedic principle of Prakriti (constitution) to utilize their optimum therapeutic effect.

Objectives

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative efficacy of Mandookaparni in enhancing the memory of healthy boys with dominant Prakriti.
