Jatamansi Tablets from Riddhish Herbals are the classical Medhya herb Jatamansi — Balchhad, Nardostachys jatamansi (Indian spikenard) — in a convenient compressed tablet form. Jatamansi is a foremost Medhya (mind-nourishing) dravya of Ayurveda: Tikta-Kashaya-Madhura in Rasa, Sheeta in Virya, and Medhya, Tarpana (nourishing to nervous tissue), Nidrajanana and Vata-Pitta shamaka in character. The tablets are the same herb as our Jatamansi Akhi and Churna, and are used within a physician-guided routine. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Jatamansi Tablets
Jatamansi Tablets present Jatamansi (Balchhad, Nardostachys jatamansi, Indian spikenard) — one of Ayurveda’s most prized Medhya herbs, a fragrant high-altitude Himalayan root long valued for a calm, settled mind — in a ready, easy-to-take tablet. It is the same herb as our whole Jatamansi Akhi and our Jatamansi Churna, simply given in a convenient format.
Riddhish Herbals supplies the tablets under our doctor-guided selection standard, with a bill on every order. They are taken within a physician-guided routine, with the number of tablets set by a Vaidya. (See also our whole-root Jatamansi Akhi and Jatamansi Churna.)
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical texts describe Jatamansi as Tikta, Kashaya and Madhura in Rasa, Laghu and Snigdha in Guna, Sheeta in Virya and Katu in Vipaka, with a Medhya (mind-nourishing), Tarpana (nourishing to Majja dhatu / nervous tissue), Nidrajanana and Vata-Pitta shamaka character. It is a classical Medhya Rasayana traditionally used to support a calm, clear and settled state of mind.
Because it is a potent aromatic herb, Jatamansi is used within a physician-guided routine, with the number of tablets and the timing chosen by a Vaidya to suit each person. It is best avoided in pregnancy without a physician’s advice.
