Overview

The flowers of this plant, named Shankhpushpi, resemble the shape of a conch shell.. Descriptions of the plant trace back to the Acharya Charak, an Ayurvedic text from 200 BC.
All classical Ayurvedic texts categorize Shankhpushpi as a “Medhya,” or brain tonic. The sacred conch-shaped flower or shankha is used in ritual worship, especially for Lord Shiva.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant with elliptic, obtuse leaves, growing as a vine or creeper.
Thriving in moist, neutral soil, its most striking feature is the vivid deep blue color of its solitary flowers with light yellow markings.
Endemic and native to the Indonesian island of Ternate, the plant flourishes in tropical climates with moderately drained neutral soil.

The plant contains a high concentration of naturally occurring polyphenols (Proanthocyanidin or condensed Tannis) and flavonoids, serving as potent antioxidants.
Specifically, proanthocyanidin stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the plant.

Ayurvedic medicine has used Shangupushpi for centuries as a memory enhancer, nootropic, antistress, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, tranquilizing, and sedative agent.
It also helps with skin infections, thanks to its antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Glycoprotein secretions of the herb may show effect against various types of stomach ulcers.
It may have neuroprotective potential, indicating beneficial effects on mental functions.
Bluebellvine tea provides antioxidant protection. It is a healthy alternative to sugary drinks, easing stress and enhancing memory and brain health.
