Convolvulus prostratus

About

Convolvulus prostratus is an herb found in India and Burma that is used in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda it is known as shankhpushpi and the preparation shankapushpi is, according to most sources, identical with Convolvulus prostratus, but some say shankapushpi is instead Clitoria ternatea (अपराजिता). Some also say Shankhapushpi is Evolvulus alsinoides, which is another plant of the same family. It has been used traditionally as a brain tonic and is believed to help a wide range of issues. It is believed to have demonstrated potential for anxiolytic, relaxant, and anti-obsessive effects, as well as nootropic effects.
