Brahmi Ghrita
Sanskrit: Brahmi Ghrita
Brahmi Ghrita is a classical medicated ghee, prepared by processing brahmi and supporting herbs into ghee by a specified cooking method. It is not plain brahmi, and it is not the ghee used in cooking: the preparation itself is what defines it. Its exact composition varies with the classical reference followed and with the manufacturer, and it is intended for practitioner-guided use.

Quality and buying guidance
Check which classical reference the product states, since formulas differ, and confirm the full ingredient list, the Ayurvedic manufacturing licence, batch number and expiry date. It should be a genuine ghee base, not a vegetable-fat substitute. Buy only from an established manufacturer, and avoid products carrying mental-health or child-development claims.
Evidence note
This is used mainly within qualified practitioner practice and classical formulations. Self-directed use is not appropriate, and evidence outside traditional texts is limited.
