What it is

Jatamansi (Spikenard) is a ayurveda & calm supplement. Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi, spikenard) is the premier Ayurvedic medhya-and-nervine herb for calming the mind. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

Sesquiterpenes (jatamansone/valeranone) modulate GABA and monoamine activity, producing grounding, anxiolytic and sleep-supportive effects without strong sedation. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 1-3 weeks.

Who should take it

Adults with anxiety, restlessness or disturbed sleep seeking a grounding nervine.
