As we age, structural and functional changes are seen in the brain which may give rise to conditions such as memory loss, poor concentration and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimers and dementia. Ayurveda emphasizes proper diet, lifestyle, herbs and special therapies to prevent brain dysfunctions and maintain mental health. Formulas including turmeric, amla, brahmi, mandukparni, shankhpushpi and others offer anxiolytic, anti-depressant, nootropic and neuroprotective qualities.
