What is Shankhapushpi?

Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus prostratus) is an herb revered in the Ayurvedic tradition for its ability to support mental and emotional health. Known as a natural brain tonic, this plant has been used for centuries to promote clarity, stability, and a sense of deep calm. At Banyan Botanicals, we offer organic, Fair for Life certified Shankhapushpi powder, so you can easily incorporate its benefits into your daily routine.

This fine powder is obtained from the whole plant, carefully dried and ground, thus preserving its active compounds. It is vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and sustainably produced. Its slightly bitter, earthy taste makes it ideal for mixing with hot or cold beverages.

Benefits of Shankhapushpi for mental health

Although food supplements should not replace a balanced diet, Shankhapushpi can be a valuable ally for those seeking a natural approach to cognitive well-being. Traditionally, it has been used to:

• Support cognitive function and memory.
• Promote a sense of calm in stressful situations.
• Support cerebral circulation and nervous system balance.

These uses are based on Ayurvedic experience and preliminary research suggesting neuroprotective and adaptogenic properties. However, it is important to remember that effects may vary from person to person.

How to take Shankhapushpi powder?

The most traditional way is to prepare an infusion: mix ½ teaspoon (approximately 1-2g) in a cup of hot water and let it steep for a few minutes. You can also add it to smoothies, plant-based milks, juices, or sprinkle it over your meals. Its taste is bitter, so you can combine it with honey or cinnamon to improve it.

It is recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase it according to your tolerance. Consult a healthcare professional before using it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
