What is the option?
Ayurveda (Sanskrit word) - the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. Ayurveda and Yoga have originated from same Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual’s body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.
Ayurveda has proposed use of several herbs for curing Insomnia.
Ashwagandha
Contains steroidal lactones, anaferine, and heterogeneous alkaloids. These active constituents reduce the production of cortisol which in high amounts (during times of stress) causes sleep deprivation. Ashwagandha’s restorative action to the nervous system counteracts tension and high blood pressure - promoting a calm state of mind. This brings the body back to equilibrium by energizing and relaxing it when it is strained and fatigued. Ashwagandha helps the body deal with debilitating conditions through restorative sleep, rather than mask it with a sedative.
Brahmi
The antioxidants found in Brahmi strengthen blood vessels and improve blood circulation. These active ingredients increase the production of melatonin at night which promotes deep, calm sleep and keeps your circadian rhythm in tune. Brahmi also stimulates the production of neurotransmitters that are lost through the lack of sleep.
