A Herbal Masterpiece

The herbs in all of the recommended formulas are combined in precise proportions and prepared in the traditional Maharishi Ayurvedic way. This improves the bioavailability of vital nutrients — making the embodied intelligence of the plant more available to the body. The care mixture, prepared in traditional ways, also creates synergy where the collective benefit is much greater than that of isolated, individual herbs.

• The herbal supplements for the Mind Plus System™ are in a special class of herbal preparations called Medhya Rasayanas — "that which is good for the intellect."
• Ancient ayurvedic texts describe Aloeweed (Shankapushpi) as "the foremost herb for developing mental functioning." Aloeweed is said to have a positive, uplifting effect on every thought and molecule of the body.
• Indian Pennywort (Centella asiatica) is popular in the West as Gotu Kola. Ayurvedic texts praise this herb as a potent brain food that nourishes full mental potential.
• Heart-Leaved Moonseed (Tinospora cordifolia or Guduchi) is most effective in removing brain toxins that hinder mental activity. It helps clear the microcirculatory channels of the body (Shrotas). This includes blood vessels that deliver nutrients and nerves that transmit mental impulses.
• Herpestis monniera (Brahmi) is a powerful brain food. It also helps improve coordination among learning, retention and recall.
