In
Ayurveda, herbs that rejuvenate the mind and nervous system are known as medhya
rasayanas. In Western herbalism, many of these herbs are classified as
nervines. Medhya rasayana herbs help to calm the mind, relax the body, and even
replenish and regenerate the nervous system. These herbs are great allies
against the oxidizing effects of stress and the depletion of our vital energy
and immunity. Some are heavy, grounding and sedating like valerian, hops, poppy
or kava kava. Others are still calming, yet have lighter energy such as passion
flower, gotu kola or skullcap. Nourishing tonic herbs, most notably
ashwagandha, also have calming qualities, but can also provide strength and
energy where and when needed.
