News India Live, Digital Desk: We often say that “Sleep is the biggest blessing from God”, but when this sleep gets disturbed then the whole life gets disturbed. When the mind remains in ‘over-thinking’ mode 24 hours a day, the body does not get rest even if it wants to. Ayurveda believes that the biggest reason for sleeplessness is the increased ‘Vata’ dosha in the body. When the mind starts rushing like the wind, it needs a pause.
There are many herbs in Ayurveda’s kitchen and old remedies, which naturally improve our sleep hormone (Melatonin).
1. Ashwagandha: Natural stress-buster
You must have heard the name! Ashwagandha is called the king of Ayurveda. It reduces the stress-increasing hormone ‘cortisol’. If you drink half a teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder mixed with lukewarm milk before sleeping at night, it calms your nervous system and takes you into deep sleep.
2. Brahmi: ‘Cool’ peace to the mind
Is there a traffic of thoughts in your mind? Brahmi reduces the same traffic. It not only improves memory but also removes emotional stress. By taking it the mind becomes calm and you get good sleep without any nervousness.
3. Jatamansi: Root of peace
The roots of Jatamansi may look strange, but their effect is amazing. It is considered a panacea for heaviness of mind and insomnia. It works like a ‘natural sedative’, but it is not addictive like medicines.
4. Shankhapushpi: For peace and concentration
Often when our mind becomes disturbed due to stress, Shankhapushpi gives it stability. Taking it not only relieves mental fatigue but also provides quality sleep.
5. Tagar (Indian Valerian): The real secret of deep sleep
Tagar has been used in Ayurveda for years for sleep related problems. It works directly on the centers of our brain that are responsible for rest and sleep. You can take it in the form of powder or capsules.
A little tip before sleeping:
Do one more small task along with the herbs. Before sleeping at night, massage the soles of your feet with oil (like sesame oil). This small Ayurvedic remedy will relax your nerves so much that you will fall asleep in the blink of an eye.
Nature has given us the solution to every problem, we just need the right information. So leave the cycle of medicines and give natural relief to your body with these simple remedies of Ayurveda.
