Jatamansi is a perennial alpine herb
native to the higher Himalayas of
Uttarakhand. It has strong demand in
Ayurvedic, Unani, and herbal industries,
especially as a neuroprotective herb.
The rhizomes are primarily used as a
Medhya (brain tonic) in Ayurveda. It is
prescribed for insomnia, anxiety,
epilepsy, mental fatigue and nervous
disorders. It is also used in classical
Ayurvedic hair oils to support scalp
health and reduce premature greying.
