Good sleep is essential for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Even one night of poor sleep causes daytime sleepiness, trouble with memory and concentration, and impaired performance at school and work. Worse, chronic sleep deprivation increases your risk for injury, accidents, and illness. Hormonal changes associated with menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause can alter a woman’s circadian rhythm and consequently contribute to sleeplessness.

Women's Sleep Tonic was formulated using classical Ayurvedic herbs to aid in winding down at night and gently sedate the body and mind to allow for a restorative night’s rest. Research has found that ashwagandha may help people fall asleep faster, spend more time asleep, and experience better sleep quality. Shatavari is ojas-building with a particular affinity to nourish the female reproductive system. Ginger and turmeric both help to alleviate pain and inflammation, and nutmeg acts as a sedative.
