A randomized single blind placebo-controlled 12 weeks study to know the efficacy of Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi) mother tincture in managing Examination Funk in 18 - 25 years age group students by using examination anxiety scale

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Brahmi supplementation in alleviating the symptoms of examination funk among university students. Specifically, the study will assess whether Brahmi can reduce anxiety, enhance cognitive function, and improve physical symptoms like fatigue and sleep disturbances, thereby improving overall exam performance. Brahmi, also known as Bacopa monnieri, is a well-known medicinal herb used extensively in Ayurveda and Homoeopathy as a nervine tonic. It is considered a nootropic, enhancing cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and learning ability. In homoeopathy, it is primarily prescribed for neurological disorders, mental fatigue, anxiety, and stress-induced ailments. Examination anxiety is a significant issue among adolescents, and young adults affecting their mental health and academic performance. While Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is traditionally recognized for its calming and cognitive-enhancing effects, no prior research has specifically evaluated its efficacy in managing examination funk within the context of Homoeopathy. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a randomized placebo-controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of Brahmi mother tincture in reducing examination anxiety. Using a culturally relevant and standardized Examination Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, this research represents a novel contribution to Homoeopathy and adolescent mental health management.
