Hello, Yes, In pakistan and unani shops, Tagar is often sold under different names, so many pansars may not recognize the ayurvedic name Tagar Common names include -Tagar -Mushk bala (most common unani and pakistani name) -Balchar -Indian valerian -sugandha bala (sometimes confused with other herbs) Botanical name= Valeriana wallichi (indian valerian) Important Do not confuse it with -Brahmi -jatamansi -or western valerian Though related, they are not identicall energetically For your sleep pattern Your presentation sounds like -vata aggravation -overstimulated mind -screen induced prana vata disturbance -difficulty switching off at night Tagar/ Mushk bala is actually very suitable for this type of insomnia because it -grounds prana vata -reduces hyperarousal -calms nervous activity -helps sleep onset -reduces mental overactivity Simple traditional formula for sleep Basic night formula -Tagar= small amount=1/4 tsp -Jatamansi=1/4 tsp -Ashwagandha= 1/2 tsp -small amount nutmeg Usually taken -at night -with warm milk -or honey/ghee depending on constitution This combination is more balancing than using strong sedative alone Important dosing note tagar is potent Too much can cause -heaviness -grogginess -vivid dreams -mental dullness -daytime fog So begin conservatively Your screen habit is likely contributing significantly Since your bedtime routine involves screens, one of the biggest treatment goals is calming prana vata before sleep Even strong herbs work poorly if the nervous system is continuously stimulated at night Most effective lifestyle changes for your case 1) Reduce screens 60-90 minutes before sleep This alone can dramatically improve sleep onset Especially avoid -stimulating videos -social media scrolling -bright phone light in darkness 2) Warm foot ghee massage befor bed for 5 minutes =very effective for vata insomnia 3) Warm milk at night -with tiny pinch nutmeg little ghee =grounds the nervous system 4) Gentle breathing -slow exhalation breathing -nadi sodhana -bhramari Avoid stimulating pranayam at night A very important caution :- If you -snore heavily -stop breathing in sleep -had severe anxiety -depression -panic -restless legs -or persistent insomnia Then evaluation may be needed instead of relyin only on herbs What to Ask the pansar You can ask for -Mushk bala or -valeriana wallichi That is usually recognised more easily in pakistan than tagar Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
