A gentle, plant‑based approach to restful nights

Quality sleep is essential for well-being. Ayurveda has long used calming botanicals to support rest, ease mental tension, and promote a natural sleep cycle. Modern research now provides early scientific insights into how these herbs may support relaxation, stress balance, and sleep quality.

Our Sleep Support formula brings together four well‑studied botanicals — Jatamansi, Tagar, Ashwagandha, and Brahmi — each chosen for their calming, adaptogenic, or stress‑modulating properties.

Below is a structured, evidence‑based overview of their benefits, followed by clinical trials, peer‑reviewed studies, and meta‑analyses.

​

Nardostachys jatamansi (Jatamansi)

• Traditionally used in Ayurveda for calming the mind

• Helps ease restlessness and mental agitation

• Supports relaxation and a smoother transition into sleep

• Early clinical work suggests potential benefits for sleep onset and sleep quality​

​

Valeriana wallichii (Tagar)

• Traditionally used to support the nervous system calm

• Helps reduce tension and night‑time restlessness

• Early studies show improvements in insomnia symptoms

• Complements Jatamansi in traditional sleep formulations

​

Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha)

• Adaptogen that supports stress balance

• Clinically studied for sleep quality, sleep onset, and restfulness

• Helps reduce anxiety, which often disrupts sleep

• Supported by multiple randomized, placebo‑controlled trials

Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi)

• Does not directly improve sleep

• Supports sleep indirectly by reducing:

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Cortisol

  • Mental overactivity

• Helps create a calmer mental state conducive to sleep

• Strong evidence for cognitive calm and stress reduction

Jatamansi and Tagar have been traditionally used to support calmness and rest. Ashwagandha is backed by modern clinical trials showing improvements in sleep quality and stress balance. Brahmi does not directly improve sleep but supports a calmer mind by reducing stress, anxiety, and cortisol — creating a more favourable environment for restful sleep.
