Tejpat is more than just a flavour

Most of us know tejpat as a fragrant spice used in curries and biryanis. But Acharya Balkrishna points out that this humble leaf holds medicinal value too.

He says regular consumption of tejpat can strengthen the brain’s memory functions.

“Just a few leaves in your everyday diet can make a difference,” he wrote.

Potential ally against Alzheimer’s

One of the most striking claims in Acharya Balkrishna’s post is that tejpat may help in controlling the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s is that degenerative brain condition that affects memory and cognitive skills. While research is ongoing, Ayurvedic experts believe that certain herbs including tejpat can support brain health by reducing oxidative stress and promoting circulation.

Easy ways to include tejpat daily

Adding tejpat to your routine doesn’t require complicated recipes. You can:

• Toss a few bay leaves while cooking rice, lentils, soups.
• Brew a mild bay leaf tea and sip it once or twice a day.
• Crush dried tejpat and sprinkle it over dishes for subtle flavour boost.

Acharya Balkrishna suggests that consistency is key. He recommends making tejpat part of your regular meals rather than consuming it occasionally.

Whether you are a student, professional, or senior citizen, pinch of tejpat might just be the small change that helps your mind stay alert and active.
