AYURVEDIC INSIGHT:

Sarpagandha is described in the Ayurvedic Nighantus as a powerful Vata-Pitta pacifying herb with specific action on Manovaha Srotas (mental and emotional channels).
It is often used in Unmada, Raktachapa (BP disorders), and Anidra (insomnia). Known for its grounding and soothing effects, it is especially beneficial in individuals with overactive mental faculties, stress-related palpitations, and excess sympathetic drive.

CLIMATE & REGION:

Sarpagandha grows naturally in tropical forests and foothills, preferring moist, shaded environments. It is commonly cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Kerala, and the Western Ghats of India. The roots are the medicinally valuable parts, harvested at maturity after 2–3 years of growth.
