Ayurvedic sleeping aid

A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover study was conducted with a total of 25 healthy volunteers suffering from sleep onset insomnia. They received a traditional Ayurvedic supplement formulated to reduce sleep onset insomnia. The supplement led to a statistically significant decrease in reported sleep latency as compared to placebo. There were no self-reported side-effects.
