“Sleep is vital for our physical and mental health. Moreover, in India, 93 per cent of the population is sleep-deprived, but only 2 per cent of Indian discuss their sleep problems with physicians. It brings out that sleep disorder is a deep-rooted problem in India. Considering the dire need, we have come up with the niche product – ‘Blissful Sleep’, which supports emotional stability and helps address feelings of sadness and frustration. It maintains a healthy continuum of inner happiness and uplifted spirits by balancing mind-body coordination, supporting the heart and emotions, rejuvenating the mind and body, promoting a natural level of energy, alertness and well-being, assisting the body’s natural resistance and supporting healthy digestion and metabolism to help revitalize cell growth.
Blissful sleep helps balance Vata and Pitta. These are the Ayurvedic bio forces/factors which shorten sleep and inability to go to sleep. Hence working at the root level of the Sleep problems.
Science behind the formula
A clinical study conducted on the ‘Blissful Sleep’ by the Department of Psychiatry, University of California at San Diego, USA reveals that the combination of herbs, in addition to targeting insomnia, contains herbs to minimize or eliminate the potential side effects that may accompany the benefits of the active herb(s). The findings of this study confirm previous evidence of the effectiveness of valerian in alleviating insomnia. In addition, the absence of negative side effects commonly seen with prescribed hypnotics suggests that traditional herbal supplements may be a suitable alternative for the treatment of sleep-onset insomnia.
