Brahmi is a Sanskrit word that refers to the feminine essence of universal consciousness as well as the creative potential that emerges from pure awareness. The meaning of the word “Brahmi” is “intellect promoting”.   The main object of Ayurveda is to live the full length of life which is free from physical and mental disorders.
