Tagara - Himalaya Valeriana Wallichii Tablets for Sleep and Calm

Tagara - Himalaya Valeriana Wallichii Tablets

Tagara is a herbal tablet from Himalaya containing an extract of Valeriana wallichii rhizome, known as Indian valerian. It is used in Ayurvedic practice to support restful sleep, to calm the nervous system and to ease the tension that builds up during stress. Each tablet holds 250 mg of the extract, and the pack contains 60 tablets. Tagara is the Ayurvedic equivalent of valerian, the herb most often used for sleep support without a prescription hypnotic. Where a hypnotic is needed, doctors use Zopiclone or Zaleplon instead.

How Tagara Works

Valerian preparations are traditionally used as mild sedatives. Its calming effect comes from the mix of constituents in the root rather than one molecule, which is why the evidence base is smaller than for prescription hypnotics. A comparative clinical study of Tagara reported improvements in how quickly people fell asleep, how long they slept and how disturbed that sleep was. It is used as support for mild sleep problems and nervous tension, not for severe insomnia. Melatonin-based products such as Melatonin work through the body clock, while hypnotics such as Eszopiclone depress nervous system activity directly.

Dosage & Administration

The manufacturer's direction is 1 tablet twice daily, or as advised by a physician. Tablets are swallowed with water. Valerian is generally considered safe short term, with headache, stomach upset, dizziness or mental dullness most often reported. Do not combine it with sleeping tablets, alcohol or other sedatives without medical advice, and do not drive if you feel sleepy. Herbal products are not tested like medicines, so tell your doctor what you take, and ask before use in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
