What Is the Function of the Pineal Gland, and How Does It Affect Sleep and Mood? - #15511
I recently heard about the pineal gland, and I was curious about what it does in the body. From what I understand, the pineal gland is a small gland in the brain responsible for producing melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles, but does it have other functions? I read that the pineal gland is linked to circadian rhythms, mood regulation, and even spiritual awareness, but how do you know if your pineal gland is functioning properly? What are the symptoms of pineal gland dysfunction? One thing that concerns me is whether screen time and modern lifestyle habits negatively affect pineal gland function. What are the best ways to support natural melatonin production and improve sleep quality? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural methods to enhance pineal gland health and relaxation? I’ve heard that Brahmi, Meditation, and Exposure to Natural Light can help regulate melatonin levels—do these actually work? If anyone has focused on improving pineal gland function, what lifestyle changes or natural remedies made the biggest difference? Did you notice improvements in sleep, mood, or mental clarity?
