The herb is embraced with several medicinal properties like anti-oxidative, antitumor, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and so on. An attempt has been made to recapitulate the features of Brahmi in medicinal uses. Many review papers had been searched to reveal the alleviating effects of this wonder drug. This review suggests that there is a requisite for further clinical studies to confirm the effects of Brahmi and use it in different ailments, to circumvent the aftermath of conventional panacea and achieve a safe and natural management of many diseases leading to a healthy nation. Brahmi has been recorded to be used as Muqawwi Damagh (brain tonic), Muqawwi Asaab (nervine tonic), Musakkin (sedative), Muqawwi Hafiza (strengthen to memory).
