Jatamansi, ashwagandha, and brahmi work together to support a calmer nervous system and better sleep. Learn how to integrate them safely.
Understanding the Nervous System in Ayurveda
The Ayurvedic view of stress is rooted in Vata imbalance—excess movement, scattered thoughts, and disturbed sleep. Nervine herbs nourish, ground, and stabilize the mind-body connection.
Top Nervine Herbs
- Jatamansi: Deeply calming and grounding.
- Ashwagandha: Adaptogenic, strengthening, restorative.
- Brahmi: Supports clarity, cognition, and calm prana.
Best Times to Use Nerve Tonics
Evenings are ideal, when the nervous system naturally transitions into a slower state. Pair them with light stretching, warm baths, or herbal teas.
Lifestyle Support
Reduce caffeine, maintain consistent sleep times, and include warm, grounding foods like khichdi and ghee for deeper nourishment.
