Traditional use
A medhya rasayana used for mental clarity, calm and sleep in the classical literature, frequently combined with brahmi and jatamansi.
Why brands use it
Little standalone demand; its commercial value is as a formulation component in cognitive and stress products, where it broadens the herb story at modest cost.
Quality and specification
Whole-plant material. Standardisation is uncommon; identity and purity are the practical checks.
Safety and cautions
Well tolerated. May add to the effect of sedatives; practitioner advice is sensible alongside sleep medication.
