Abstract
Use of Medhya drugs for the treatment of mental disorders play a great role in the Indian system of medicine. In the texts of Ayurveda many drugs have been mentionedto improve the medha, e.g., Aswagandha, Brahmi, Shankhapushpi, Jatamansi, Bala, Jyotishmati, GUduchi etc. These drugs have also been mentioned as Rasayana (rejuvenative and restorative). The beneficial effects of all these drugs for the treatment for psychological and psychosomatic disorders suggest that they might be having sedative and tranquilising properties. Recent studies and researches done so far also suggest that Medhya drugs as mentioned in Ayurvedic texts, keep the mind calm and cool, reduce anxiety and apprehension thus producing sedation and tranquility.
