BACOPA (Thyme-leaved Gratiola)

Bacopa monniera, soft, succulent leaved herb. Use the leaves in salads. Somewhat bitter in flavor but nothing a dash of salad dressing will take care of. Especially for the qualities that it possesses. One of the 3 "brain" herbs, this has been clinically proven as a remedy for debilitation, nervous breakdown, epilepsy, histeria, and insanity. The juice from the fresh leaves provides the compounds that build brain cells that control these areas of action! Easy to harvest if grown in a hanging basket as the stems will hang down and you can simply pick a stem and slide your fingers down it as you would do thyme to removes the leaves. Feel good, eat good.
