Relaxes the mind, promotes sleep
In Ayurvedic medicine, Tagara (Indian Valerian/Valeriana wallichi ) is
recommended for insomnia, stimulating the nervous system, reducing spasms and
calming anxiety. Records show that the herb has been medicinally used in the
16th century in India to treat nervousness, trembling, delirium tremens (acute
delirium), headaches and heart palpitations.
In recent times, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has
listed Tagara in their ‘Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)’ list, while the
German Commission E has approved its use as a mild sedative. Tagara is popular
in North America, Europe and Japan and is widely used to treat insomnia and
anxiety.
Tagara is a perennial, herbaceous plant, indigenous to India, and is found in
the temperate Himalayan region.
Active constituents:
The roots and rhizomes are highly aromatic and contain valepotriates and
essential oils. In addition, sesquiterpenoids, monoterpenoids, lignans and
alkaloids with pharmacological properties have been found in Tagara. Hesperidin
and methylapigenin present in Tagara are found to have sedative and sleep
enhancing properties. Valerenic acid present in the herb has been shown to
inhibit the enzyme-induced breakdown of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the
brain's chief inhibitory neurotransmitter. This action results in sedation.
Functions:
Insomnia: The sedative action of Tagara mildly depresses the central nervous
system, which is beneficial in sleep disorders like insomnia.Six-methylapigenin,
which is an active compound of Tagara, acts as a benzodiazepine-binding site
(BDZ-bs) ligand. This action enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA, leading to
the complete blockage of the ongoing nerve impulse and sedation.
Nervine disorders: Tagara maintains normal nervine function and is also used in
treating anxiety and tremors. It relieves nervous irritation and agitation. In
studies, extracts of Tagaramarkedly attenuated cerebral injury in terms of
decreased brain infarct (an area of dead tissue due to lack of oxygen) size, and
an increase in short-term memory and motor coordination.
Antidepressant and anxiolytic action: Tagara extract is useful in the treatment
of human stress-related disorders. It significantly reduces stress and anxiety,
relieves depression, and enhances the willingness to adjust without altering
memory, concentration or attention.
